Gary, I don't think Toyota cares whether you resent the comparison, but
that is their target market.
The Tundra is not a T100, you can read all about the Tundra on the Toyota
web site.
Personally, I don't think a RAM 1500 is any more of a truck than my Dakota.
It is a little bigger, less fuel efficient and slower. A V8 4x4 Ram 1500
Clubcab has the same payload as my V8 4x4 Dak clubcab and the Ram is rated
to tow about 1,500 lbs more. It's not build any heavier and many of the
parts are interchangeable.
There is no-one blinder than he who refuses to see.
