Probably to much for a toyota. Probably alright in something domestic though.

FIRST GENERATION SUGARMAKER
First boil 2/22/2012! Went Pefect!
3,500' of laterals
1,000' of mainline
2012 - 105 taps on gravity, 12 sap sacks.
2013 - 175 taps on gravity, 25 on sacks = 200 taps for 2013! Second year.
2014 - 250 taps on gravity, 25 on sacks
Tapped on February 16, 2014
2015 - adding vac sap puller no more gravity for me!
275 gallon holding tank for 2014
20'x30' Sugarhouse
275 x 8 lbs per gallon, about 2200. Likely pushing it. My F-350 will carry it easily though. I have a 425 in that....

Keep it forward and give it hell. 10 ply tires would be a good start.

Heck, last year I hauled a full 275 on the back of my Kubota RTV 900...until I blew a tire
I have an 02 tundra and per my specs I can only carry about a half a cage tank so that just means twice as many trips. carrying sap isn't worth wrecking your truck
custom made 2x7 intensofire
With SL pans
250 deer run
300 3/16 (new 2016)
500 sacks around the neighborhood
well now you guys have me really nervous probably be purchasing the right tank now. would a 210 gal pick up tank be better. Also I expect that its better to fill them all the way rather then part way to prevent slushing around correct. What size do you guys reccomend???
