Interesting tests. The bed of the tundra on that first test is pretty wild. If I was off road in one of those tundras and had the bed hit the cab I would be pretty pissed.

I always felt if I was in the market for a new full size I would get the ford. They lack in power a bit to the competition but overall seems like a better truck. They ride so smooth too...

Without even looking at the videos I'm gonna guess those are the tests conducted by Ford that have been going around for a year or three now. While they do show what's actually happening to the trucks, they are setup in such a way to showcase the Ford's strengths.

No, no he didnt. I was making a joke about how hard Toyota wants to fit in with the working man in America.

Ford and chevy show their strengths everyday. how many construction vehicles do you see that have a import badge on them? or even a dodge badge for that matter. people that buy them dont know what a good truck is. If you need a real truck there is only 2 options. and if you want a truck that will never let you down find a old ford with the straight 6 you couldn't kill those motors and i think thats why ford stopped making them:cry:

I do not remember which municipality around here bought a fleet of Tundras and turned them in after the first year. I think it was 20 or so trucks, too soft to handle the daily grind. They are probably fine for home owners or light contracting but not commercial stuff- big brake rotors/factory headers/etc or not.
