They all came from domestic brands and bought a Toyota for a variety of reasons. The interiors are nicer on a lot of the new domestics, but my friends didn't want to spend $50k+ on a new super fancy pickup.
As for the frame, the tundra has a combination frame just like the Ford Super Duty's Crawling underneath one of these things gives you a really good idea of how they really beefed up things everywhere.
Fuel Econ: in the real world they are all about the same at about 13+/- depending on style. The 4.6 guys average 16 around town and up to 19.5 on the highway.
Hope this helps
P.S. According to a recent study, the Tundra is more American than the Silverado
yes, I just went there
Tundra is more American that F-150, too. Does the Tundra still require the timing belt change? That's a significant cost down the road that most truck owners aren't used to paying. The mileage as described is not that great. I know Ford does better and Dodge definitely does.
Sure it's tough. But then so are they all. I love my F-150, but if I were shopping now, I'd give Dodge a hard look. Money talks.
