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.
We already know what the problem is. Toyota is using under engineered parts.

Yeah well I had a few Toyota Hi-Lux's Service Vehicles back in the UK, 3.0 D4D's and they are far from Junk. Infact .. Pound for pound the Best Pick-Up truck made. IMO
I wouldnt buy a North-American Toyota Because they are totally different from the EURO Vehicles.
The Ford F150 Look's better and for the money, The option's on the F was a cut above the rest. I looked into GM's, Toyota's the like but Iam glad I took the FX4.
You see Plenty of Tundra's in City's like Calgary etc but not many here in the Mountain's.
If it aint made in Japan .. It Aint a Toyota.

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.
We ford guys know our farts smell. Toy guys think there s--t don't stink.

Your missing the point. Us Ford guys for the most part understand the problems with Fords. We choose to accept it because the whole package is the best. The fun is pointing out the flaws in the toy turd because the owners and loyalists in that camp swear that there truck is problem free.. and well.. those tail gates.. those were isolated cases.. and they caught the camshaft breakage very early... and and and and.......

I was waiting for "issues" like this to start appearing on the Toy. The way that "Tripletech"
frame flexes those body panels, damage was sure to follow. I love getting behind a Tundra in traffic just so I can watch those frames flex and twist everytime it hits the smallest bump, makes for some damn fine entertainment.

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.
