Maybe I'm an outlier, but I bought a used 2011 Tundra with 230k miles on it for $7k. It's the base model, bone stock except for replacing the broken radio and I use it to tow the RV I live in and transport my ebike that's the size of a moped or small motorcycle.
I'm also non-binary and stuck some cutesy cat stickers on my back window. 😂 The idea of spending over $50k on a truck is just insane. I found the original dealer window sticker in the glove box and mine sold for $21k new in 2011.
I live in Texas and pass these huge lifted trucks with the super wide-set tires and always wonder how they can even load anything into the bed. And if MY truck gets 17-18mpg on a good day, what is THEIR monstrosity getting? 😭
I just looked up the Toyota Tundra and it's still a large truck.
Funny sidenote, this week I saw a VW Eos pulling a caravan.
An Eos has a 1,500kg rated towing capacity. How big was the caravan? Seems kind of dangerous, but I've definitely seen people with worse towing setups. 😂
My RV is 8,000 pounds dry (3,600kg). I wanted a smaller truck for better gas mileage, but I wouldn't have been able to tow with it, as they were mostly rated at about 5,500 pounds (2,500kg).
They're rated differently here in Germany.
I regularly see setups like this here
But I truly appreciate you converting your measurements
