Your gonna need a new transmission towing in overdrive and it shifting into passing gear all the time. I had the same truck, and I am very glad that I got rid of my tundra for a Duramax! That Tundra is shifting into passing gear on a flat stretch of road!!! Purring, ya right!

@08lmm1 I would strongly advise you to not comment in a negative way that quick. This is on the A1 from Lille to Paris, France. There are several parts with decent percentage of climbing in it, I'm towing a 2,500 kg. trailer here and just where you here the engine shift is one of the climbing parts..!! That's why I made the vid, to hear the dual TRD exhaust..!! :D

Were you in tow/haul mode or leave OD on? Cuz the revs were low but sounded like it downshifted a few times. I heard towing with OD on will wear out the tranny a lot faster because of the friction/heat that is produced by constant shifting but correct me if I'm wrong.

@xienxien2001 Hi xienxien, I have been advised and told that it doesn't make any difference at all since even when OD is of the engine will still shift back when needed... I tow a lot and after 55,000 miles ( 88.495 kilometers ) in two years the engine is still performing as a brand new one... No problems at all... And for further information, I drive it with a propane conversion and the engine oil comes out as gold as it went in, propane makes a positive contribution to a much cleaner engine..!

we toyota ownersdon't like to replace our transmission every 60,000 miles sell your dodge pos and buy a toyota

love my Tundra. I have a 8900 lbs RV that I have towed for 3 years... not one problem

the truck runs just like we drove it off the lot, it has so much balls when u put it to the floor holy shit.. best truck ever, a toyota tundra will pull away a dodge 1500, chevy 1500, gmc 1500, and ford f150 likes theres no tomorrow

my dad has a 2009 toyota tundra with a 3 inch leveling kit running on 33. 10.5's wrangler duratracs, the truck has TRD dual exhaust and TRD air intake, we haul a triton bass boat all year long, we use the tow haul botton every time we have a huge load in the back of the truck and when we haul big boats and trailers, we have had the truck at 4000 rpm for like 1 minute hauling a full size kubota tractor on a all steel heavy duty trailer.

@dikkie007. Hey, there is a guy on here, my brother, MrTundraToy. Can you try to encourage him to do a couple more videos?:) i feel he will if the time would be well spent with others wanting to see his truck.

What were you towing?

[tundralover]

@2010THEDRAGON provided your still in warrenty

[2010THEDRAGON]

Its very simple if you don't have a Toyota product now you'll get one later and all it takes is owning one and you'll be hooked for life.

[2010THEDRAGON]

@tundralover , Yes but it all start off with an excellent product, bc if its all about taking care of your customer I think the big three can do that as easily.

[JesusFuck]

wait, so you replaced the gasoline system with a propane one? how does that work? and was it expensive?
