I drove one (an SR5 Double Bubble Cab) the first week they came out, then reported what I discovered here on FTE.
Beefs:
For a sasquatched sized gimpy old phart, I didn't like the fact that NO power adjustable pedals are available, and the power seat does not go up high enough.
Even with ape arms...reaching to the dash was a stretch if you wanna adjust the radio and heater.
Lotta reflections on that dash, which resembles an old Wurlitzer 1015 juke box.
The styling takes some time to get used to...I haven't got used to it yet. I still thinks it's fugly.
The front end on the new 2008 Sequoia looks somewhat better, but it's still no panacea!
Pluses:
The power is there, and the brakes were terrific.
But it was no better IMHO, than the Titan CC I had at that time.
Before I had the Titan, I had a 2004 Lariat Super Crew (with its crappy brakes and transmission that chit the bed after three days, with less than 100 miles on the clock).
No offense, Jack...but, I just don't care for the Tundra.

Although I have yet to see the point of what those links have to do with anything I have stated......or anyone else for that matter.
You just basically answered your own questions! Now if we can only get a straight answer out of you when someone else asks the questions!

Darn you have a short memory to what we have been talking about for the past 2 months......
You see Smigg's I just proved to you that Toyota is a Japan company...Profits must go there..They are still a foreign company in my book weather if there assembled here or not...
Other link Smigg's is to prove to you and all of the other Tundra lovers that Toyota's are not Perfect..
Now I asked you a question last night Smigg's and you did not respond...
The answer to the question is that No car manufacture is perfect..Your chapter leader pointed that out and that is what I was giving him the High 5 for...
So Smigg's so please read everything before you jump to conclusions....Your no better then anyone else here.
So Smigg's thank's for playing.
Now I have an event to plan and carry on.

Geez, you guys are getting viscious.
It's a hunk of iron, for qwists sake, not the Holy Grail.
All manufacturers have problems, so none are perfect.
You want perfect?
Buy whatever new piece of iron you like, park it in your living room, and stare at it.
If you're lucky, it won't leak any fluids on your carpet!

BTW after test driving everything, I bought a Tundra.
The F-150, and the Dodge Ram 1500 were a distant fourth and fifth behind the Titan, Silverado, and Tundra in my opinion.
