The whole Japan point, rather obviously, was that the Toyota sales guy was stating that the Tundra was better than domestics as it was made in Japan.....
And no, I don't buy the superior engineering on the trucks. The Tundra is dated and well behind the curve. It is down on power, suffers from poor fuel economy and has very dated technology.

The C&D test I posted supports all the points I made and all the observations I made.

The best summary of the new F150 was Motor Trend which said "An incredibly capable and well thought out truck, but fails to deliver on the hype".

Don't fall for the C and D stuff or the marketing propaganda. Any of the trucks can do what needs to be done. But its a fact that the Toyota will last longer and be more dependable. And let's not forget that the Toyota is the only truck maker that is SAE certified for towing.

The engineering when in comes to durability, dependability and the time tested Toyota reliability will favour the Toyota. Its always been like that.

It just goes to show you how these magazines mean nothing. You have to hear it from real owners. That is one of the reasons why I said the real world MPG of the Ford is on par with the rest of the segment. The turbo V6 of the Ford is nothing special when it comes to MPG.

The F150 real world MPG was far outside the EPA ratings which indicates that Ford might be pulling a scam.
And the domestics tow ratings are artificial, only the Toy is SAE approved.

I just looked at that article you posted. Its nothing special when examining the specs. All came within 14-16 MPG combined and the Toy is the only one with a 4.30 rear. To real truck buyer, the 4.30 is what you want, not a 3.23 of 3.55.
