I'm looking at the Tundra also. The new one is completely redesigned and the iForce V-8 engine is great. I've been looking more at the F-150 as I can get a really good price on it, but if I find the Tundra for a good price, I think I'll go that rout instead. I wasn't a big fan of the Tundra's before, but I think the new one is really nice.

So what happened between u and Dodge?

Too many women walking up to him giving them their numbers. It's a Dodge thing. :)

I have a Ford F150 - LOVE it. BUT, I won't buy the new one. It's slower, uglier (by a damn sight), worse built (opinion), gets worse mileage (truth) and has worse access to the bed than my 2003 (last of old style). Given the choice between Ford and Toyota I would choose Toyota. BUT, have you looked at Chevy? Faster, better gas mileage, MUCH better brakes and better re-sale value. A little more money up front, but they are great trucks.

ps - I love those Dodge Rumble Bee trucks. Pure fun!

it looks like most of the Tundra V8s do have an 8' bed:

the Nissan Titan, unfortunately, doesn't come with an 8' bed option.

Freelance Superhero thanks for the link . i need a 8 ft bed and a high payload .
they gave me back a car with the trans in parts in the truck .after they rebuilt it under warranty with less then 10,000 miles on it broke again .and it was only 10 months later .but they skip out on repairing it the second time becouse i was like 2000 miles over there 5 year 60,000 drive tran warrienty .2nd rebuilder found out why they would'nt do it the second time .the case was bad .due to a poor design .
I never buy a dodge again .but i did become best friend with the 2nd trans rebuilder after that and still am today .
