(I'm not sure, though, about the Ford Expedition and Expedition L.......the Expedition may be going from the truck-based F-150 platform to a unitized frame soon)

This makes sense. It's extremely rare for Toyota to discontinue a model, and it usually does so when that model is replaced with another model.
The market may be smaller now for full-size SUVs, but there is still a market and always will be a market.

I'll tell you that I really enjoy my new Tundra. I think that they did a great job with the overall look of the truck. Is it THE perfect truck? probably not, but it sure does get a lot o compliments and I would actually say that the interior isn't as bad as some make it sound. It is actually quite nice. I do miss my GS though.

From my sources, this rumor is FALSE. Sequoia is living strong for 2011 model year.

That's also true with the Sequoia, which is Tundra-derived, and, to a lesser extent, with the present-generation Camry (especially the interior). But it is not, IMO, characteristic of all newer Toyotas. The Corolla and Yaris still remain well-built small cars (though the latest Corolla got some slightly cheaper interior parts), and the new Highlander, especially the top-level Limited version, shows good asembly quality and fit/finish.
the dash and shifter had the flimsiest plastics i've ever seen in a car.
the best toyota interior these days is the RAV4.

Not as bad as the last G35 which was a supposed luxury car. That was a true embarrassment.

The Tundra would be my clear choice if I were to buy a pickup.
I can't even believe that the Tundra's continued existence was a debate.![Uhh...](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/1387914497.gif)
IMO, it's the best looking truck as well.
I do like the latest Dodge Ram just as well but long term Chrysler quality continues to be a problem.
You haven't sat in many cars then. Compared to only the very latest truck interiors, the Tundra materials quality begins to fall short, but not awful.
Have you sat in a Titan? THAT is awful. Thin plastics everywhere and parts ready to fall off. Or the last generation Ram? The Tundra's interior, IMO has very functional and durable even though it is a bit overly plastic. At least they are thick, sturdy, quality plastics.

I think exterior wise the Tundra is the nicest looking pickup. I don't think their was anything wrong with the exterior design nor was it the reason it sold well below expectations. The full sized pickup segment is very tough to break into with strong buyer loyalty, perhaps the strongest of any segment. With some disappointments with quality, publicized issues with Tundras, and modern American pickups from Ford and GM being very well done it is no surprise the Tundra struggled.
I have to disagree with the RAV4 having the best toyota interior, it is pretty bad and stands out as being cheap, plasticky, with a underwhelming design. I think the 2008+ Highlander and latest Avalon have the nicest interiors recently in the Toyota lineup.
