Toyota and General Motors, which redesigned their trucks for 2007, beat the Dodge Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. Those trucks have had only some minor tweaks since their last redesign.

Officials at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas, which builds the Tundra, were proud of the honor. The truck tested by Consumer Reports, however, was built in Toyota's other Tundra facility in Princeton, Ind.

"We are pleased the Tundra received this recognition from Consumer Reports," Vice President Luis de la Garza said in a statement. "It's a nice reflection of our team members' and suppliers' dedication to quality and hard work."

The review touted the Tundra's power and acceleration as well as some of the cabin appointments. The truck was criticized for its ride and the distance from the driver to some of the controls.

"The Tundra's powertrain was just beautiful," said Gabriel Shenhar, program leader for Consumer Reports. "The acceleration was extremely fast. The six-speed automatic was wonderful. Response was smooth. There were some nice details such as interior storage for files and a telescoping steering wheel and damped tailgate."

He said the Silverado model Consumer Reports tested had a smoother ride than the SR5 version of the Tundra, and its rear seat was better than the Tundra's.

The four models each were given a battery of 50 similar tests, which included acceleration, braking, access and cargo. Each model had a similar trim package, and each model was a crew cab, meaning it had a rear seat, though not a full-size rear seat.

Each truck also had the largest V-8 engine available.

The last statement "Each truck also had the LARGEST V-8 available".

Dez he's been waiting for 20 minutes for a response in this tread. I only seen 2 posts and both are pretty much against Tundras. So I haven't given him much thought.

No I'm not a blond. I just said take a closer look at what truck was pulling, it was the 4.7. I'm not bashing any of the other trucks. I sell the trucks. The GMC has a good truck, I find its hard to change a GMC owner into anything else. But if a ford or a dodge owner comes in they are more then willing to get out of it and into a Tundra. Toyota makes a very good truck, but they aren't the only people that make trucks.
