As much as I love my 4runner, the Tundra just doesn't interest me. Needs a redesign badly, and the fuel economy is worst in its class.
I would go f-150 with the 5.0. ETA- I saw that you want to haul heavy payloads, so I would go with an F-250 in that case. Gas engine will be several thousand dollars cheaper than a diesel. |

If you want an honest 2k lb load capacity in bed of truck go play with the spec sheets first. A lot of crew cab 4x4 ford f150s have a pitiful load capacity regardless of their rated tow capacity. Keep in mind that load capacity will also need to cover you and your stuff you keep in the truck as well.
If you don't like ram or chevy, I include gmc in with chevy, then I guess you are looking at fords. I really like that ford offers some large fuel tank options, though dealers do not seem to be getting em on the lots very much. Crew cab 3/4 ton could probably do what you want. I am not a fan of the diesel engines cause of up front cost and while you get the money back at trade in any repairs outside of warranty are huge compared to a gas v8 even if it is a complicated gas v8. While it may be overkill for a lot of folks, I like the actual 4x4 packages that usually now come with an electric locker in the rear axle. May not be something you need but if you do need it the thing is dang nice to have. |

Seems like you already have the answer based on your limitations given.
But since we are giving suggestions anyways might a suggest a KLR 650? It even has a rack on the back to haul a stone! |

I like the Tundra's but from what I've seen on here lately. They are very outdated and gas mileage could be better. Titans are nice too but very expensive it seems. I may look at a dump trailer in the future.
I like the look of the Chevy's but how are they reliability wise? My father in law and uncle swear by Dodge, any comments or real world experience would be helpful and appreciated. |

I don't really get the comments I always see about the Tundra "desperately needing an update". I just got a 2018 Tundra and I'm loving it.
I don't find the mileage all that bad. I was averaging 18 mpg in my last Tacoma. My Tundra is still pretty new, but unless the computer is drastically overestimating it's capable of 18-19 mpg highway if you drive like a grandpa. I've had the tank average as high as 18.5 already (again, computer-based). At current gas prices and my current usage, I had figured if I got 14 mpg average I'd spend an additional $50 per month in gas. All indicators so far say I'm going to do a good bit better than that, so I'm happy. People say the engine is old tech. So what? It's reliable, and that means a lot more to me than squeezing out a few more miles per gallon. One significant repair needed out of warranty will probably wipe out any gas savings. |

If you want a truck rather than a luxury car with a bed, Nissan Titan XD. A little more beef than a 1/2 ton, tough, good engine and best steering (hydraulic rather than electronic power steering). Interior is considered "dated" by the luxury crowd, but it's solid and bugs are all worked out. Oh, and the engine is simpler in design than the new stuff coming out with all the fancy cylinder shut-off gizmos. Oh, and a 5-year, 100K bumper-to-bumper warranty.
No giant touch screens or cool gimmicks. It's a comfortable work truck. |

Tundra needs an engine update badly. Nothing wrong with it but it low of mileage compared to others. Other than that they are reliable trucks. I have a 2010 5.7 DC LB 4x4.

Get a 3/4 or 1 ton gas truck and be done with it. I plan on keeping this for 10 years at roughly 5k miles a year and being able to sell it for $20k. Sometimes it doesn't pay to run them in to the ground, and you don't need to spend a million dollars on a new truck (or over $50k).
I paid $35k ($49k sticker) for my brand new F250 XL (work trim) with a bunch of options. A year later, it's still worth the $35k that I paid for it. The 6.2 is a dead nuts reliable engine when left stock, as is the rest of the drivetrain. The new full size trucks drive damn near as smoothly as the 1/2 ton trucks as well.
