Oh really? Take look at the 2-wheel drive rollover ratings and tell me which truck came out worst.

Bottom line it all comes down to personal preference.
Now I'm not a Ford fan at all but they must be doing something right to have such a long standing customer base and be the best selling truck for a million years. Perhaps all the farmers, construction companies and blue collar boys got free hats for all those years?

The real question is though which truck gets more 'looks' from the ladies.

Well I would like to think that the ladies are looking at who is driving vs what they are driving. Course that has always been my problem, hell I can sit at a street light in a lawn chair and snag the babes, I'm with Dolski on this, If we all liked the same thing it would be real boring

The babe magnet comparison can also be made with Harleys versus Japanese bikes, and there is little question where the quality lies in that comparison either.

Now don't get me wrong, the Tundra frame has far more flex then the ford frame (because it's Open-C) but that's a good thing when it comes to load bearing (ask any structural engineer).

Use your truck, don't worry about propaganda marketing campaigns, and you'll be quite happy.

THANK GOD someone else gets that too.....

Where you live, most ladies couldnt care less what you look like. They just want to see an expensive car. You see it everywhere down there. Fat, balding midlife crisis 45 year old men driving Ferrari's with their 20 year old supermodel girlfriends.....I am sure they have great personalities. I used to live down there.... and I didnt have an expensive car (nor am I that good looking either) I didnt have a shot in hell......lol
