 Out the gate I will give you the only negatives (more like just OK instead of great) about this truck.  First, the suspension in the rear is stiff/tight (to handle the 10K lb tow capacity); it rides like a 4WD that tows 10K lbs.  Secondly, the gas mileage is below average.  The trade off gives one a responsive power plant of an engine.  This bad boy out accelerates the competition with and without a load.  Thirdly, Toyota has got to get on board with some more USB ports...seriously....1?  I've driven many trucks and managed a fleet of half ton to 2 ton trucks.  Really, the Tundra is now more like an F-250 or Chevy/Ram 2500s than the F150, 1500s.  Test drive all of the half tons and see which one makes you feel like you're driving a beast.  It's the Tundra hands down.  The other half ton pick ups really don't hold a candle.                                                                                                 Pros...you'll be on the side of the road with a breakdown 75% less than if you buy a Dodge , Chevy, or even Ford (best domestic in my opinion).  Resale value best of them all.  Turn radius is great for a 4WD truck this size.  Crew Max is ridiculously roomy.   This truck just kicks azz.  All you really have to understand is what you're getting...a powerful, roomy, reliable, SERIOUS truck that won't let you down.  If you're not going to tow or go offroad, and really just want a truck for the family and occasionally haul a piece of furniture...get an F-150.
