I want a truck that has the power when occasionally needed but never at the price of the above. It's going to be awhile before I buy a new Tundra.

Everyone that bought their truck obviously did so for a reason. Saying one truck is better than another is stupid, as they all have their strengths and weaknesses. enjoy your own truck and shut the hell up.I also do not know about any kind of truck and am speaking out words that my mom told me to write. I got lost on this website when I was looking for little kittens. Why the hell are there all these arguments about which truck is better?

I am not a hugh fan of Ford, but I am sure that it could kick and Tundras buts. And when people use the excuse that Toyota won the truck of the year, you should just put the car of the year, that is all that it won. Any of the other trucks could beat the toyota at towing, and what you get for the price, which is almost all that matters when you are buying a truck.

They have a adopted the same frame concept, same center shift, same tailgate assist, same reverse camera, same box style, same brake system, same ride quality,etc. That being said, toyota was very smart to model their truck towards the F150. Toyota is on the right path, but you cann't expect toyota to come into this kind of marketplace and have a hands down "best truck". Ford's f150 has been their bread and butter for a good reason. They know what the truck buyer wants. The new 2009 f150 will set another benchmark for GM and Toyota to copy four years later.
