One thing I notice when I see a new Dodge Ram or Ford F150 on the street for example is that they are a bit taller than the Tundra but that is just because the body itself is just that much taller but the Tundra actually has MORE ground clearance and that's all that counts, at least for me anyway. |
Again I agree - Ground clearance is what counts. And those slightly "taller" Dodges and Fords owners with slightly less ground clrearance might feel better with a higher sitting truck but that body height on those trucks is everything about looks and nothing about practability. More wind resistance, less stability, less access to parkades and if they do add a larger tire they are that much higher in total height. At least us Tundra owners can add a little ground clearance and still come in shorter than Dodge or Ford off road stock packages - thats a plus, not a negative. When I see those trucks and feel a little jealous about the overall height look (I admit I am petty and to me looks are somewhat important too) I take comfort in that I have more ground clearance, more height clearance, better performance in icy or windy or off road conditions.
