+1 on the ‘17 Tundra. I’ve had mine 17 months, 31k miles, with no problems except a fog light mysteriously fell out.
I’m getting about 15mpg towing trailers over the winter. Got the crew cab and 6 1/2 foot bed. It fills up a parking space, can’t imagine having an 8 foot bed and needing two spaces.
It has a factory trailer hitch and brake controller and back up camera, headlight leveler, which makes towing nice. I loaded it to the max GCVW on a trip from Philly to western Ohio and it performed like a champ. It has great brakes and enough weight to keep a 7500 lb trailer behind it where it belongs.
The downside is it is taller off the ground than it needs to be. I had to get a step. The interior has too many flat shiny areas that reflect sunlight and blind me at random times.
One great feature is a climate control system that is controlled by three big knobs - fan, temp, and delivery. So simple to use I never have to take my eyes off the road to find comfy settings. Toyota must have a patent on this advanced system, as I don’t see it on a lot of other vehicles.
