The 2008 Toyota Ram?

Hino/Toyota = same company...not many people know that Toyota makes these trucks, and the resemblance to the new Tundra is obvious. Hino Trucks made by Toyota

Well, the looks of any truck is totally subjective. I read on another board that people thought that the Ram was ugly. I don't agree, but there's no question that there's an *** for every seat. Some people actually buy the Pontiac Aztec and Honda Element! Yuk!
Even though I am likely going to buy a Tundra (pending a test drive) I still think the Ram is the best looking truck on the road. I don't care for the tail lights on the new Tundra, and the rear window is too small. However, unlike a few of those that have posted in this thread, I have had great luck with Toyotas over the years. I am looking forward to a Toyota truck that can accomodate my job, my family and my weekend boating. Even my 5.9l Durango struggles towing the boat up hills, and that gets old quick.
Kensai's post is right on, and Midnight...I do not argue your point that the Tundra has definitely borrowed some styling cues from the Ram. But, as I said, I think that's a compliment to the Ram. What better looking truck to resemble? However, both trucks are designed to look like a big ol' badass semi rig because people associate big rigs with mostrous power and longevity.

Well, I have tracked down a few photos of the Tundra in something other than blue. The only regular cab photo I can find on the internet is a spy photo, so the headlights and tailights are camoflaged. I agree with you on the blue color, but I still don't like the tailights and rear window, and I think the rear door handle should have been the same as the front handle.

With Toyota entering the NASCAR Circuit, do you suppose the designs are linked closely together. Except for name plates, most of those NASCAR trucks and cars all look the same in shape and design.[sm=smiley25.gif]
