That's a toughy. The paint is sh*t on the new Tundras, the tailgate is indeed pretty flimsy if you really are going to be working it (driving quads on it and such) but at least you'll get a lot of free tailgates!

The power is immense and insane compared to the F150. Honestly, I think the new F150 is a better built truck than the new Tundra. The old Tundra would definitely put up a fight for quality.

The work, it can take quite a bit.



That's a pallet of concrete weighing 2000 lbs, plus the wood underneath, plus the 2x4x8 or however long they were and then a bunch of stuff in the concrete mixer. My guess is I had that thing loaded up to about 2400-2500 lbs once you include me and my buddy that were driving it. Payload on my truck is 1650. It wasn't on it's bumpstops.

^picture of bumpstops with that load.

Then of course its speed.



Since you buy new cars so often why not get a left over '07, '08 F150 and drive it til the new F150s are proven? I'm a Ford guy personally but got stuck with the Tundra because of the side airbags and traction control. Otherwise I'd be driving a F150 now.
