Whadda ya know, another problem with the Tundra. And here they are bragging about durability and how tough they are 
But it has 381 HP and will blow any other truck off the road, so it's ok...

I spoke to a local Ford dealer about the Tundras a while back, he mentioned that he went to Silver Creek proving grounds to compare the 09 F-150 against the others one being the Tundra, he said after they did the washboard road the Tundra was so bent up that the rear doors wouldn't open and it was totaled out

I wonder if over in the Tundra forums anybody ever posts bad things about Ford trucks? Not that anything (like spark plugs blowing out of '97-'98's or door cracks on '97-'99's or spark plugs that wont come out of '04-'05's, or ...) ever goes wrong with ours due to poor design. Nah.

To the original op I am sorry I don't know much about those trucks because I was never interested in them. However I have a friend that owns one I will ask him about it the next time I see him. He might know something. Sorry this turned into another FORDS the best thread. Don't get me wrong I love my Ford and would never ever sell it for another truck.

It is funny they call it Tundrasolutions.com not something else, good call.
One more for ya, all other companies do tests with JUST their trucks, like Dodges jumping hills in the desert, Tundra's accelerating and braking under calculated courses. Why is it that Ford compares all to theirs? Ford has tons of tests by all kinds of media critics and testers? Because they can.

at least my ford doesn't have a frame w/ a huge deflection rate, or sheet metal that mysteriously buckles, or a trans/transfer case that grenades for no reason. i'd rather pull the heads for a spark plug blowout than replace an entire frame anyday.

They're all junk, IMO.

Absolutley, I'd agree in that they're either all junk, or maybe more correctly, all equally bad or good. The thing many folks don't seem to understand is that for every video Ford puts together showing how (insert name of competitor's truck) does poorly against a Ford, the other guys have similar videos (used for sales training) showing how their trucks are better than the Ford. If any one truck was so clearly superior in all areas, why would anybody buy anything else? Even though Ford sells more pickups than anybody else, the competition still sells a hell of a lot of trucks to other folks who are perfectly happy.
