 I paper-compared all 5 full-size mfgs and narrowed down to Chevy and Toyota. Toyota still was the no-brainer.  Why buy a 16 valve, push rod V8 with 315 HP when you can have 32 valves amd 381 HP.  Also, rear disc brakes, 6 speed tranny and an interior big enough for hide-and-seek.  The SR5 package, to me, rides like a Lexus.  The 6 speed tranny is almost anticlimactic as it is so smooth: it feels like a 1 speed.  This truck will turn tighter than my 1992 x- cab Tundra.  Fuel mileage is dead-on 18 mpg as rated, however, I drive 28 mi of a 30 mile commute on the interstate.  Even with the 4.30 rear diff. gears this truck turns only 1900 rpm at 70 mph.
