tundra then a bettER choice?

Yep, compare the Tundra to a Ram 1500. The Tundra is a much more comfortable truck to drive, handles like a car. Otherwise check reliability ratings. That is, if reliability is what matters to you. I've driven Toyotas for the last 15 years and have yet to have a mechanical problem, not one. Pushing a million miles now, don't think you will find that with another brand.

I've driven both trucks, new Tundras are very comfortable as well as the Ram's. Back in 09 I nearly bought a Tundra. Earlier in the post I said Ram 1500 and it wasn't even close. I still agree with that statement, and it's not a slight against the Tundra, it's a dang good half ton. The problem with Tundra is that Toyota has done almost nothing since it came to Market nearly 9 years ago except a facelift last year. The Pentastar V6 is better than the now defunct Tundra V6, the EcoDiesel is a risk for Ram, they seem to be selling well, at least Ram took a risk. The Hemi has had constant improvements since it was introduced. In 07 I would say the I-force was better than the Hemi...now with MDS and the improved power and fuel Economy, the edge goes to Hemi Ram.

I've got well over a million miles logged in mostly domestic (loosely used term) cars and haven't had more than a water Pump fail... With the exception of an abused Firebird that I blew up the motor in.

My Current 2000 Town Car has 161k miles on it and is about to have the entire front end rebuilt. It's just time. Toyota's are great cars, but they need maintenence... If you keep any car long enough you will have to replace or rebuild parts.

Tundra is a good truck, I think Ram is the better buy. Of course, that's my opinion.... And it seems that the majority of truck buyers agree by not buying a Tundra. Now when the diesel Tundra shows up, the game will change.

Thanks!
