Plus, the Tundra doesn't "resemble" a 3/4 ton truck with its semi floating axle and 5 bolt hubs. If you don't know what a Full floating axle is just Google it. ALL 3/4 trucks have full floaters.

Dang man, a little sensitive there?
I tend to agree with that guy myself, the Tundra does seem a bit closer to a 3/4t design than it does a 1/2t. Hell, somewhere on this site theres a couple pics of the front wheel bearings compared to a Super-Duty's, practically identical, and the same size IIRC. Then theres the ring-gear size. Then look at the frame layouts, very similar in most sections that matter (at least compared to my F250). And for axles its a minor distinction, the FF axle remark is a stupid point on your part. Whether you can pull the shaft out independently or not has nothing to do with the general solid axle configuration in relation to the rest of the truck.
For some one who "knows what a truck is", you might wanna take a closer look at your Excursion and Trailblazer - they aint "trucks".
