What I'd like to see is the actual figure of F150 vs. Tundra sales. I would think this would drop the ratio considerably. Maybe something like for every 1.5-2 F150 sales you'd get 1 Tundra sale. If you excluded fleet/commercial sales, then this figure would drop even further.
Just my thoughts, don't have any hard data to back up this up. Simply an assumption.

Lets just say of the 65K Fords sold, 1/2 are F150 and the other 1/2 are F250/350. So that means Ford sold roughly 32.5K F150's. All while Toy sold 21K Tundras. Using this comparison, Ford only sold roughly 1.5 F150's for every 1 Tundra sold. If F150's make up 2/3's (43K) of this 65K, then it's a little more respectable. Basically 2 F150's are sold for every 1 Tundra.
Personally, using those figures, I think it's kind of scary. Not much gap there for Toy to make up in the next couple years, at least in the 1/2 ton market. Toy has a ways to go to capture the top spot overall, but don't have too big of a gap in the 1/2 tons.

Like DOHC said, Toyota planned to sell only 200K Tundras this year. At 21K for June, if those numbers continue, they'll be well over thier goal.
I'd be more interisted in percentages up and down vs 2006 than total numbers.

Also, from what I've experienced with my travels and friends/family from TX, most people are a lot more dedicated to domestics than import trucks. Here in CO, most farmers, ranchers and construction types are still opting for a domestic, while more of the business types and soccer moms are purchasing the Titans/Tundras/Ridgelines.

I did actually see a new Tundra "working" the other day. It was hauling overhead door parts to a construction site.
