Borla, CAI, chip, bottle (Nos), GIB (geek in back-fuel/air management). Then add the Tibet sticker. Fixed. Geezer.

I was very impressed with the first gen tundra, the 4.7 had tons of power and did everything I wanted it to do. I tow a boat that is heavier than yours and have never had a problem. One of the things I like too is that Toyota puts bigger rotors on this trucks and they stop way better than any of my Fords ever thought of.
I moved up to the second gen because of the larger size, more room, larger towing capacity and the comfort and very glad I did.
After driving Fords most of my contracting days I am now a convert to these Toyota's as they are great trucks and they are made in Texas!

JB8 = 10000lb. disc 12.50X1.54 / drum 13.00X3.50
Hydraulic-Hydro-Boost
That's what my 1 ton Chevy had.
A very good brake system.
When you see Hydro-Boost in the brake system description, that's good stuff.

That one ton may be a bit bigger than what the OP wants to tow a single axle trailer.

FIshy I know. Braggin' on the domestic brake options available. Toyota does good brakes with dual piston calipers, etc. as well.

All trucks should have dual piston calipers ... My 05 F250 is at 77K and still on original brakes

Although the parking brake on F250 is a complete P O S ....................
It is damn impossible to keep the pile of crap even close to being adjusted, let alone functional.
Team Yota at least doesnt have that issue......

While driving in reverse and braking at the same time will automatically adjust them (to a certain degree)

ah ... correct. However mine seem to always be in the "middle" of an adjustment. They should have just used the rear caliper for the park brake as well and been done with it. back on the toyo v6 thingy ... some interesting comments in this forum thread. LINKY

Team Yota at least doesnt have that issue...... I've never priced them...prolly not cheap... but some backhoes, forklifts, etc. have these in addition to a mechanical E-brake. I think my old Jeep had one...they work. http://www.mico.com/products/lever-lock
