Default F150, vs Z71, vs TUNDRA video....look at the body flex on the Tundra!!

I couldn't believe this. The Ford looks very good, the Chevy not bad but look at the Toyota. I think Toyota should stick to making 4 door sedans.

That Tundra looked like crap.. and the F-150 was the winner.

HOWEVER- the F-150 used was NOT an FX4 (to keep things equal) compared to the Z71. The FX4 suspension is a little harsher.

I wouldn't buy a Toyota if you put a ******* gun in my mouth and forced me to!

This is what a truck is all about!

I think Toyota builds some great cars but I think part of running a succesful business is knowing exactly what you do well. When it comes to economy cars, the Corolla is fine, for a family sedan for Joe Average the Camry is perfect....but when it comes to trucks, no way.

On the road the Tundras look nice IMO but their has just been way too much negative press coming out now. Also, the Toyota dealership in town down here in NC is already advertising all kinds of sign & drive lease deals on the new Tundra.

Tundra looks like it's made of jelly.
I'll stick with my Dodge but the Chevy and Fords are nice also.

the tundra's gas mileage was the worst of the bunch a year or so ago, those trucks are more expensive than you think for a low to moderate list of options and they dont have that truck feel when you get in them.
