[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1461262, member: 35543"] Toyota trucks are far from tried and true; they're just old and outdated. Frame rigidity is not a performance feature, it is an expected attribute of any truck and defines both capability and durability. It also has nothing to do with being elastic; the Tundra is simply poorly engineered with cheap materials. Under the conditions in that test, the Tundra's bed contacts the cab, resulting in severe damage to both. It's been well documented in real world applications as well, under conditions much less severe. Tundras are not "good at durability" either; they have widespread pattern failures and are the most expensive pickups in the industry to repair this side of a 3/4 ton diesel. The early 5.7 engines were snapping camshafts, and all model years also have a massive problem with cam tower oil leaks. The cam tower mounts to the cylinder head and houses the camshaft journals; their unique 2-piece design is sealed with RTV and develops an oil leak at this mating surface, resulting in oil dripping down the sides of the engine and on to the exhaust manifolds. The issue affects 2007 models (first model year) to current 2020 models; Toyota never revised the design. Must be "tried and true". Here's a 77+ page thread on the issue for some good reading: [URL]https://www.tundras.com/threads/cam-shaft-tower-seal-leaking-please-read.20102/page-77[/URL] Don't get me started on the $3500 Air Injection Pump (AIP) failures or frame rust lawsuits. Toyotas are junk overhyped by fanboy brand loyalists. [/QUOTE]
