Tom, it looks like we don't see eye-to-eye on this one. looks like Toyota
copied dodge on the truck design. the 2009 truck looks like an evolution of
the current format, bringing the grille in, instead of making it horizontal.
additionally, if you haven't seen them, google an image of the 2009 F-150.
looks like a carbon copy of the previous generation Tundra.

I googled a pic of the Tundra and flipped it so that the two trucks were
pointing in the same direction - makes for a better comparison.
Damned idiots tried to wedge in on Toyota! The grill is the same shape
- the headlights are similar, the bumpers both slip up to either side of
the grill, and the bumpers both have the same horizontal line goind
across... the mirrors are both chromed in a similar manner - both have
chromed door handles - the hoods almost look interchangable..
And while the rear ends are not in view - you can tell the wheel well
arches are very similar - Hell even the cabs look alike!
New Dodge Ram! Brought to you by Toyota!
(yeah - I'm pissed)
