Let's put it this way, if you want my Tundra you will have to pry it
out of my cold dead hands. It's a great truck - rides well, quiet,
nicely finished, reliable,
half-way decent fuel economy (for a V8 gas truck).
According to MSN Auto, the User rating places Ford F-150 #1, with a 7.7,
the Ram w/ 7.6 and Tundra w/ 7.3. Consumer Reports rated the old Tundra
their number 1 rated truck.

Edmunds and Car Connection rates the F-150 the best rated used truck to
buy, while Consumer Reports rates the Toyota as the best used truck to
buy.

It is obvious, that the only thing everyone can agree on, is don't buy a
GM truck.

I drive a GM truck. Diesel, 19 mpg on the freeway at 75 mph. My Son in law
drives a Tundra. Nice truck, but does not ride as near as nice as my Chevy
2500. Just feels tinny. Plus my truck has no roblem towing the 4400# of
boat and trailer while hauling a 1400# camper. Did it the last couple of
days. Averaged about 12.5 mpg, while towing the boat into a remote lake at
4000' elevation and up and down a lot of steep curvy road.




Your posit is absurd. If you wanted a fair comparison, you'd have to
compare the Tundra with a Chevy truck of similar class and capacities.

A close friend has a 2007 Silverado. Compared to the Tundra I used to
own, it is a roughly finished, poorly riding p.o.s., and noisy.

I might buy a truck this year to go along with the new trailerboat. The
first one on my list is a new Tundra with the smaller V8, followed by
the Ford F150. I wouldn't consider a Dodge or Chevy-GM truck. I'm
unimpressed with their engineering and quality of assembly.

And a Tundra or F150 would work well to tow a Parker boat 2 miles twice a
year.
