Which Tundra are you referring to - 06 and previous, or the new 07? See, we're talking two completely different trucks. If you have also been reading the strategy and rationale behind the new 07 Tundra design, you'll know that Toyota is going after the "work truck" market and they now have a product to do that. As Toyota rolls out more variants of the Tundra in years ahead (diesel, heavy duty, etc.) they will slowly move ahead in gaining this market share they want so badly.

I will say this for the 06 and previous Tundras. They are great trucks. They may not have the size, hauling capacity and configurations of the Detroit 3, but they were built far better.
