Notes on the Video:
(1) the presenter keeps calling both vehicles "cars", because that is what they will be used for 85-90% of the time
(2) Fuel usage of the Tundra is on par with a V8 performance car. The diesel in the Ranger is much more frugal
(3) Notice the towing specifications are lower for both vehicles than you would expect in the US. I.e Tundra 4 tonnes, Ranger 3.5 tonnes, pretty conservative ratings given
(4) Payloads for a normal DualCab are in the 2300-2500lb range, so the paltry numbers for the Tundra were a shock for a largish vehicle.
(5) Most Australian Road tests of 4x4 Utes as they are all so called here, do a lot of Off Road and Track/Trail negotiating. Seeing the Tundra is more a pavement pounder than anything else, I guess it was not considered
