The fact is they have more power, better brakes, a 6 speed trans etc....
If Ford has a stronger frame, more power to 'em.....let's hope they concentrate on the other aspects. On a personal note, I'm not digging how busy that '07 grill is.....I guess Ford had to change "something".
I would also like to see a Super Duty make that run, just to see the results.
Fact: The Tundra has more power
Myth: That extra power benefits the Tundra. Due to less payload and towing capaity in most configs (6.0 GM vs 5.7).
Fact: The Tundra has "Bigger" brakes
Myth: Those brakes do not stop the truck any better. it is heavier, so it needs bigger brakes. Just like a Semi has bigger brakes than an Escort.
Fact: Tundra's manual specifically states that ANY trailer over 1000 lbs MUST have it's own brakes. Bigger is better huh?
Fact: Tundra has a 6 spd
Fact: So does GM, and Ford will soon.
Fact: Tundra offers it in more configs. Yep, a plus for Toy here, but shortlived, hope they aren't hanging their hats on that one.
Fact: Ford and GM (and Dodge) all have superior Fully Boxed Frames, toyoyo has the Tripletech frame.
Fact: Toyoyo does not even offer a rear locking diff.
Fact: Toyota's quality reputation is under severe scrutiny. If they lose that, they are in big trouble.
