Let's just say GM has a bunch of slow learners. Been that way for a long time.

I agree with that statement for sure.

Nah...it feels like a Toyota. Just to be fair to myself, I drove 'em all before buying my new F150. Power-wise, the Toyota has it. Everything else about it feels even cheaper than the Ram...which is saying a LOT!

Not so in my case. It took a couple of years for the NBS F150 to grow on me, but it finally did and I'm glad of it.

The truck isn't modified, they developed a dolly for the shuttle:

Toyota says it has done extensive testing and worked with The Sarens Group, a heavy lifting and engineered transport company, to develop a dolly specifically for hauling the Endeavour.

Wow! Wonder why the Tundra hasn't replaced all the F150s, F250s and F350s that vast numbers of commercial companies use as 'work trucks' that you see all over the roads towing/hauling really heavy stuff.

Thats not really all that impressive. Im pretty sure my lil 4.6L could get that shuttle rolling, your not pulling 300,000 lbs but pulling against the shuttles rolling resistance.
That dolly will probably be used to slow the shuttle when needed

I believe there's a Toyota pick-up in that vid as well. You just can't see it. Back then the Toyota fit in the bed.
