Last time we were in Temagami we rented from Temagami Marine. Nice little boat but about $500 for a week. Now that we have a 20' Legend I would pay the gas up there to use my own boat. It's all about perspective. Pulling from Woodstock with a F150 EcoBoost. That being said, we haul a 27' camper and can't take both at the same time. Took a canoe on the truck a few times but Temagami can get nasty.

Just saying travel through Toronto is enough for me to fish close to home.
I'd sit in traffic for hours before I'd feed some other country our government gave away the 407

Yesterday I did a road trip for my buddy to pickup a grapple hook attachment for his excavator and a hydraulic power tank.
Left Long Point at 3:00am to be at Janetville approx 10km east of Port Perry before 8:00 am. Then off to another place approx 5 km west of Mount Forest.
The traffic was good at that time in the morning until just after Milton. Traffic was starting to build up and it was a single lane at the 401 and 407 area. After that it was smooth driving to Whitby where I wanted to head north. According to the GPS my arrival time was bang on.
Then I had time to kill before picking up hyd system at 2:30 pm. So on my route I have another buddy from down here on Point that has a huge cash crop operation over 3500 acreas of corn wheat and soy beans. At his farm I got to see his operation. Never took count or pictures of his silo’s but there had to be at least 10 of them including dryers. Asked how many bushels he could store and it was over a million bushels could be stored and dried. Checked out all of his big John Deere tractors, but the most impressive prices of equipment were his to harvestors. Two Claus harvestors with inter changeable heads and both units ran on tracks not tires$$$.
Had time to kill again when I got to Mount Forest and was going to pay cash for the hyd unit. Going through all my hidden cash I only had $100’s & $50’ s. Needed a $10 bill so I put $40 of gas in the truck @ $1.57/lt for which I didn’t need. lt messed up driving trip computer. Left there and came Hwy 6 to the 401 and got caught in traffic backed up to hwy 8 in Kitchener
So as for gas mileage I did see I was averaging at the worst 14.6 driving at 95-120 km/hr

No problem at all. It's a 2017 so have had quite a few trips with it. The camper we bought in 2013. The max loaded is around 7,000. I forget the stats but the EcoBoost with the tranny we have will do more than that. Pulling the boat we don't even know it's there.
Do you work at TMMC by any chance?
I've got a 2022 Toyota Tundra Platnum 1794 Edition - Hybrid. It's my 4th Tundra (2008, 2018, 2019, 2022). I uses 30% less fuel than my 2019 and tows anything I hook up to it. It's rated for 12,000 lbs of towing. Cannot say enough good things about the Tundra's! The 2022 Hybrid is a total home run! Very happy. It has a V6 twin turbo with the battery boost. A lot of times it is just running off the battery.

personally I am done with the 407 the rates are just crazy. The last time I used it was for an ice fishing 28 bucks one way with no trailer. I now use a mapped out route from London that takes about 15 minutes longer and thats only if you dont hung up in traffic on the 401 or 400. I get on the 400 at Thornton then once through Barrie clear travel to Restoule. Never again am I paying a 407 bill.
