Well Fords got aluminum & a 10 speed, and a revised 302 riding on stick slip bounce & dart leaf springs that go back to horse & buggy.
Chevy had a revised SBC & the joint 10 speed also riding on leaf springs.
Seriously the 3.5 EB is a heck of a motor, but just like any gasser is hard on fuel when worked like a truck. Also GMs DI 6.2 is a heck of a motor... But to be fair RAM has the legal payload of a bicycle handlebar basket.
Toyota has known dependability. You just can't afford to drive them because they suck more fuel than anything else.
Nissan Tundra.. No they have not gone the way of The AMC Rambler. Yes they still make them & someday they are going to sell one. They have a new diesel.. It sucks fuel like the big diesels but doesn't make anywhere near the power.
