If you haven't sat in a 2008 Ford truck.. Go do so.. They are insanely nice for a truck.. They feel like your in an upscale SUV.

IMO, Toyotas just don't drive all that well. My family has owned 2 pickups and 2 4Runners, and they all bounced too much and swayed like crazy in the turns. Granted the build quality was fine, but the frames and bodies were just so light and flimsy compared to the domestic trucks I've owned. I wouldn't trade my Ford for any Toyota. I guess it depends what you are buying the truck for, i.e. a light duty utility vehicle, or a real heavy duty worker, since comparing a 1/2 ton to a 3/4 or 1 ton isn't really fair. Let Toyota build a 1 ton diesel and then we'll have something to compare, since the domestics own that catagory.
