So here we are 3 years later.....
In truckworld......Ford has stepped up the game. So let's rate the big 5. Meaning in no specific order GMC, Ford, Dodge, Nissan, and Toyota.
1. Ford
2. Dodge - very close second...if it wasn't for the 5.0 or Ecoboost....
3.Toyota
4.Nissan
5.GMC
Disclaimer: Yes, I do know this is a predomitely Ford site but complete honesty without ridicule would be nice....
Keep in mind, this IMHO.

The tundra is a rolling pile.
The weakest frame and it flex's like mad. What I don't get about the Tundra is that it has a good motor, tranny, rear-end, but the frame? To me they missed the whole 1/2 market, and made a quasi 3/4 ton with a cheap frame.
Guys I worked with bought one thinking yeah. Most of them had a Ford again withing 2 months. Or what ever brand they originally had. Even a guy I knew who was insane about toyota got rid of his as soon as he could. He wanted a fullsize like his friends, and was pissed it only got 10mpg. Not the almost 20 it was rated at.

As for the GMC being up there....I haven't followed what GM has done with their trucks in the past 5 or so years in the way of drivetrain or underpinnings but to me, they look the same prior to the collapse.....

Some improvements to HD line with frame and drivetrain but same lame emmsions garbage as the rest and the tie-rods are still to small. The 1/2 ton line with the exception of a boxed frame really hasn't changed.
