It has poor brakes, except when compared to everything else. It has a "jittery" ride with the OF package but I defy them to actually prove that one. They don't like part-time 4WD and think Toyota made a big mistake equipping the truck with such system.

Are these guys high? Do they sit around in a room, pretending their farts smell like fresh baked biscuts?

I don't mind real criticism. If you want to knock the Tundra for its payload capacity, fine. If you want to knock it because it has more plastic on the dash than you would like, have at it. If you back up claims about bed bounce when done under controlled conditions against similar trucks, its all yours. However, criticizing it for being better in braking and fuel economy because it doesn't match your undefined goals is absurd. Not recognizing the purpose behind the part time system and ignoring the technical benefits of the A-trac and auto LSD is just ridiculous.
Well said. I so very much agree.
