Granted it's a Ford site and video, it's going to be propaganda. I watched the video a couple times and replay the section of the drivers in the cabin throughout the video shots and noticed that the driver in the Tundra is not shaken or thrown around as much as the Ford or others due to the rear end of the truck absorbing most it before transfering to the cabin.

I've taken my Tundra through many types of terrain with nasty wash board roads and it handles very well and better than my friends F-150, honestly. Having said that, I have to give Ford credit for handling that course very well according to the their video. But I prefer to have smooth power, quick acceleration and a comfortable quiet ride for everyday driving.

I have owned many trucks for the last 16 years and using it for it's intended purpose, I havn't driven on a river bed or speed bumps spaced about 5ft apart for 1/4mi at 25mph before. Does anyone know where I can find speed bumps like that to drive on besides Fords proving ground? The last time I remember going fast on a dry river bed was in one of my old friends dad's chevy truck when we were young and stupid. He was driving around 15mph on it after our duck hunting trip and he hitting a big boulder. It was not good.
