In the Aug 99 Truckin'(tundra article) AMCI(?) tested the following vehicles
and got the following standings in 0-60 ;

All were extended cab, 1/2 ton.

tundra 4.7 cammer - fastest
Ram 5.2 pushrod - not as fast*
f-150 4.6 cammer - not as fast*
chebby 4.8 pushrod- not as fast*

*order not given, only winner.

With optional engines;

f-150 5.4 cammer - fastest
tundra 4.7 cammer - 2nd place(tie)
chebby 5.3 pushrod - 2nd place(tie)
Ram 5.9 pushrod _ 3rd place

This has to be factored by vehicle weights. I know the chebbies are always
lighter. The tundra is listed at 4376 max. I'm sure the ford is not lighter
than the tundra.

I'm just extrapolating from the article, don't kill the messenger.
