Are we retarded here or what?
Where's Unit with his common sense when u need him....
Notice it friggin' says "TOYOTA of Bellvue."
Chances are, they sell TOYOTAs.
How better to advertise your lame car lot than to set up a one-sided match up between the "competition" oh and beat them...surprised?
So, their Toyota with a limited slip pulled an open diff Ford....woohoo stop the presses.
It proved nothing except the fact that...wow...the limited slip works. Congratulations.
When you're trying to prove your self don't you go after something of equal or higher ability? Why didn't they choose a ford with a limited slip in it? That would be fair after all and what would they have to lose if the Toyota is so obviously 'superior'.
People are going after the Nissan titans and the Toyota tundras, etc. because they're DIFFERENT. Just like that retarded *** PT Cruiser, it's a booming market, they have something new and all they have to do is sit back and look at what the other 3 companies are lacking or forgetting, include that in their vehicle, and bam. Easy Street.
As for my self, I'll take a Dodge Cummins 2500/3500. All day long.

Ive had two Dodge Trucks, both 318's 4X4 highly modified, (ones in my Fquick) and they have been excellent trucks. One newer, one older.
I would love to get a mid 90's Tahoe Fullsize, or K-5 Blazer. I'd take another Ramcharger though.

I have a 2005 FX4 w/ an EDGE programer and it does everything I want it to without being slugish. Plus my truck doesnt look like the face has been crushed in Ford's coming out with a diesel next year and the new BOSS engine line up in 09 for the F-150s so im not worried 
I mean come on your comparing a brand new design (Tundra) vs a 4 year design (F150) and it still out sales it

Britney Spears sold more albums than Whitney Houston the last 10 years, but that doesnt mean she can sing.

I always laugh when I see "tug of war" contests like that. They prove nothing. That was obviously a marketing scheme for Toyota since it looks like it was filmed at a Toyota dealership. The Ram driver intentionally mashed the gas to lose traction immediately. The Tundra driver, however, eased into the gas to make sure he did not lose traction. It doesn't take much brainpower to realize traction is better than no traction.
