Why no Tundra love on this site?
First off let me just say that I don't mean to start a flame war and though I really like my truck I am not necessarily a Toyota "fanboy". I bought the Tundra because I had great luck with 2 previous 4Runners and a Lexus IS-250, and I got a great deal on my 2013 because the 2014 redesigns were coming out. But with that being said, I think the Tundra's can stand toe to toe with any of the other 1/2 ton offerings (the F-150 2,000 lb. payload package excluded) on the market. I looked long and hard at a 2013 F-150 but I plan on keeping the truck at least 150,000 miles and I was a little hesitant about how the ecoboost would hold up over the long term. The Tundra 5.7 is a gas hog for sure but it is a reliable, tried and true engine. The Silverado's were about $5,000 more expensive than the Toyota's so I really didn't look too hard at them, especially since I couldn't really see them as an upgrade.
The only limiting factor on my Tundra is the 1375 lb payload limit, but it works for me and I have the heaviest truck they make (5.7 Crewmax 4x4). But anytime someone asks the question about what truck they should buy, you rarely read anything other than the "big 3".
Like I said, not trying to start a flame war as I don't really see the Tundra as head and shoulders above any of the others either. They all have good and bad.
