Just because the Nissan Titan had problems with the under-sized Dana 44, does not imply anything about the Toyota Tundra axle. The Titan issue gave Japanese-brand full size trucks a bad reputation in the towing community. So, for the 2007, Toyota over-compensated.

2000-2006 Tundra axle design is inherently stronger than the Dana, more like the much-revered Ford 9 inch. No, it is NOT a 7.5 inch.

I have towed a large car trailer with a big Chevy on it and my friend tows a 6400lb travel trailer in the mountains. No driveline problems of any kind.
