The SVT Lightning and Dakota are the two top rated trucks on that site so I wouldn't call it a very accurate source for any kind of buying decision.

If you are going to be towing regularly don't even consider a gasser, they can't even come close to a diesel. I tow a 10,000lbs cat on a 7,000lbs trailer and can do 120km/h up the steepest inclines with my cummins. While getting much better fuel economy than any gasser. I like both the Cummins and the Duramax however I would stay away from the Powerstroke, they have had many reliability issues with their 6.0's. Buy an LBZ or a 5.9 cummins and you won't have to deal with all that new emisions crap

thats funny, I found the interior on the new Tundra the cheapest by far

As an employee at Toyota...I can vouch for this personally. Although it does look nice...Never judge a book by its cover! I personally hate the interior. The power is wicked for a Gas truck and I personally think this truck was more aimed towards the Family Vacationers to the cabin//lake with your boat rather than a FULL on "Work" truck.
Dodge Diesel for towing, hands down. Ive driven and experienced all the pros and cons of these trucks, PLUS Dodge has a jake brake available for that heavy duty pulling! Also forgot to mention, Dodge interiors suck if they are plane jane...Get some options; Leather, Heated seats, Sound System upgrade, power locks and windows. It makes all the difference!
Depending on what your looking for tho....Dodge is your work horse and 60% Family Vacationer.
The tundra is your Family Vacationer and 60% work horse
BTW, The Dually Tundra will be unveiled sometime in late 08 early 09. Possibly sooner.

I love people like this who think that a company can do no wrong just because theyre based in japan. Congrats man, youre a true car guy.

And im not sure why you posted pics of that tundra dually. The thing is a piece of shit and shows how seriously toyota is taking their step into the real truck market. With a bigass 8.0L Hino diesel its only making 300hp, which is less than any of the domestics, and in true japanese fashion it still gets rolled in the torque department as well. And shifting thru a 5-speed with a two foot tall shifter? Seriously? If i was a ricer right now id point out that that toyota engine is only making 37.5 hp/L and a Duramax makes 55. But im not so ill just focus on the fact that toyota is making a joke of a segment that is probably harder to crack into than any theyve ever tried before.

"The 8.0-liter diesel engine was sourced from Toyota's affiliate Hino. The JO8E-TB Medium Duty 6 cylinder Turbo Diesel engine normally resides in Hino's 35,000 lb trucks. Power is transferred through an Eaton five-speed manual transmission to a Hino rear end with Meritor axles."
How is that not a good truck? Maybe its just him but my boss tells me its numbers are going to the highest in a production truck and will blow away the domestic competition? Last time I checked Diesel engines (hauling/towing) never had NEARLY the same HP numbers as they did Torque numbers. Diesel trucks are not Sport trucks like the S331 or SRT10.

[ScottysZ]

Its not a good powertrain because its short on the hp numbers and (as i mentioned also), the torque numbers. I never said anything about them having equal hp and torque numbers. But none of the domestics have less than 650lb-ft of torque in their six point something liter engines and this hino isnt making that in an 8.0L.

Yay, even Toyotas ashamed of the Tundra now!

new emmisions suck...what folks dont tell you is the dpf uses diesle to burn off the soot..kinda counter productive
lota folks are ripping the dpf and egr of..belive theres code free setups now for them and gas milage increased with reports up to 25 mpg and as low as 8...most low numbers are from folks with dpf and egr still on
