I could help but laugh at his broken TOY..LOL

Your comparison report is interesting.
I would also like to see some side-by-side photos of stock height 4x4 F-150 and a stock height 4x4 Tundra. (If I can find a willing Tundra I'll put my KR next to it and shoot a bunch of pics, interior and exterior from all angles.)

I went this weekend with a friend to the TUNDRA test drive here in Southern Cali. I must say without being bias...the performance on the TUNDRA is nice. The power of the motor and the brakes were the biggest factors. With a 5000 lb. hitched to the back I was able to spin the tires...also with a trailer behind you the brakes are incredible. 6 speed tranny also. BUT it does look ugly...and the PRICE TAG makes it very unappealing. Wopping 43k for limited and they will not work with you on pricing. Dollar for dollar the FORD kills the TUNDRA. That's why I drive a F-150. I am pleased with my 05 and wouldn't trade it in for the TUNDRA. But I would take it if it was FREE!!!!lol

I owned a 04 Tacoma before I bought my 07 Screw and I loved it. The interior was nothing to be proud about but the truck served me well and I was a little sorry to see it go. (Then I got into my FX4 and all was better)
I got a chance to get into a new Tundra this last weekend and I can say that I’m glad I didn’t wait to get one. The interior feels small, like I was back in my Tacoma, and the dash and gauge bezel were made of cheap flimsy plastic. I don’t know how some of these designs made it to production especially that instrument cluster bezel.
Each gauge looks like it has a 4 inch long piece of PVC pipe glued to it so you have this effect of looking down a pipe to see the gauge.
I liked what they did with the center console on the seat. It’s not just this big box like my FX4 and actually has some functionality to it.
The ***** and dials for the climate control are huge and look like they came off a kid’s toy.
The leather seats were nice and a little plusher than the Ford’s Luxury Leather package.
The back of the cab on the four door is small and reminds me of my friends Colorado; It feels about 2 or 3 inches shorter than my Screw.
Over all there was very little about this truck that caught my eye and I walked away feeling great about buying my Ford.
BTW, the sticker for the Limited 4x4 with Leather, no sun roof, Double cab…basically the equivalent to my FX4 Screw with Luxury Leather package…39k. Add in the bed liner, runner boards, cd changer with sat radio, tint and you can hit 42k pretty fast. Also, you will not be getting any cash back, special financing, or other dealer incentives on the Tundra.

I get out & compare them both, from a distance, & say to myself, "You gotta be kiddin me, Dwarf my ***." My F-150 was just as big if it didn't sit taller that the Tundra. I noticed how this Japanese wanna be AMERICAN TRUCK copied the outboard mounted rear shocks of my F-150! What a Joke! After I got my groceries in the market the Wanna Be F-150, was still next to my real F-150 SCREW, I was looking for the new owner, however no body was around, anyway, after reading & seeing all of the New Hoopla about this New Tundra, I felt way better about my New Purchase, that thing is FUGLY!!!
A new 4X4 Tundra "CrewMax" parked right next to me at work today. My stock FX4 dwarfed the thing. I was a good 3-4 inches taller and a few inches wider. I was going to take a cell-phone picture of them side by side at lunch, but the guy moved his Jap-Crap to the other end of the lot by then. There were hand prints on my passenger side windows, so he must have been comparing the interiors. To me, the F-150 looked a lot bigger inside.
