Not all Tundras have 4:10 rearends. In December I went to the
local Toy store and they had 15 trucks side by side. Every one
of them had 3.90, 3.91 rearends. I have seen the Tundra on TV
with the 4.10 rear taking advantage of those poor defenseless
American made trucks. WELL DONE !! I want one to play with!! ;)
