You may confuse cheap with tried and true. Being on the cutting edge tends to create problems and Toyota doesn’t want garage queens so they let tech develop for a period before they just go slapping it in everywhere Willy nilly. There’s a reason ISIS wasn’t driving GM off-road in the desert all day.
The 2022 tundra just released and the 3.5 twin turbo hybrid V6 will give you those numbers. Similar to the Ford power boost only it won’t break.
If you need a 3/4ton or more unfortunately you’ll have to go Mexican made with one of the “domestic” trucks instead of the American made tundra.
