I'm sure the Tundra uses the same drain plug washer from the factory as the Tacoma ... which is an aluminum washer with a thin layer of black rubber on both sides to help it seal. It's the black rubber that's making it stick to the pan. I just worked it carefully with a thumb nail and it finally popped off.
You can use the orginal style washer or the fiber one from the dealers ... I haven't had problem with either one. Used the fiber style on my old Toyota truck (V6) for 13 years with no problems ... just change it out with every or every other oil change.
