Tundras are made in America by American labor, designed by American engineers. Toyota is using Americans to make a profit.

Rams are made in America by American labor, designed by American engineers. Daimler Chrysler is using Americans to make a loss.

Hopefully, the new owners of Chrysler will be able to turn it around. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...&refer=germany

The toyotas are very well produced and are very reliable. If, god forbid, I was to ever get a gasser it would probably be a toyota crew max. They are nice riding, nice interior, great engine, no problems. Sure they are expensive, but so is my truck now. My son is going to get a ram w/ a hemi only because the tundras are a little pricey for my 16 year old, lol. Dodge is a great vehicale, but they are defiantly lacking on the interiors. All of the other truck makers have excellent luxerious interior. What is the problem exactlywith toyotas? Sure there cars are small and powerless, but there is nothing wrong with them. Did yall ever think that toyota owns lexus? We own a toyota sequia and will get another one as soon as the 08's come out with the new larger engine. It has been an excellent vehicale that has produced no problems.

Personally i think the Rams interior is better, dont care for a luxury loking truuck. Hey its a truck not a luxury car. I Have drove the Tundran ans sure it has some speed but feels like u said a luxury car. Not for me.Sorry. I will wait for the next gen of Rams.

I like the luxury of my Ram. I also think that the Toyota is a great truck. It has *****! But... it's way ugly for me! I think that the design of the older Tundra's is way nicer. The new one's are too ugly. But I think a chipped HEMI can beat the Tundra easily. I can't wait for the new HEMI to come out in 2009. But if I were to purchase another truck, it'll definitely be the Ram 1500 with the CTD. I'm sticking to Rams for the rest of my life unless the Ram changes to a different name, then I'll buy that one. But yeah, that Tundra has *****! Oh, it sounds real nice when you step on it too! It has that real nice rumble to it.

I just test drove a new Tundra Reg cab5.7and was not impressed at all. My truck felt just as quick but the handling of the tundra felt better. So I told the sales guy sorry but I like my ram better.

i love my hemi just as much as the other guy, but theire is now denying the tundra is a bad mama jama. yes they are ugly, but man they are fast.
its ok thought because dodge as it has in the past will take its place on top with the next generation hemi. its in the works. the reason the tundra's 5.7 is so much faster than the hemi. 1. its all wheel drive. 2. its an overhead cam 5.7 which by nature makes it much more efficient.our hemi's pushrod.
