2019 Sep build Raptor:
Not sure when y'all last checked but The 2020 Tundra interior has been redesigned. Push button start, keyless entry etc. The only reason that I didn't go Tundra was because of the 0-60 performance of the Raptor and, secondly, the older design of the Tundra prior to 2020. If the Tundra equaled the performance of the Raptor (like it did with the Tundra Supercharged), I likely would have gone with the Tundra (but then would have kicked myself not getting the Tundra 2020 and the new design).
That being said, I think the Raptor has more and better features. The 360 camera is great and unique. Once you get used to it, it's very handy (specifically for parking). Though, it would be great if you could press the cam button and have the 360 view be much larger on the screen.
I love the height of the Raptor. With the giant KO2s its very quiet inside and out and looks great. Tundra, for me, looks great too.
Raptor performance is unparalleled. Put it in sport mode and floor it... hold mother of pearl!
Some downsides: when I close my driver door, the whole truck shimmies. Not a very safe feeling. The ride is pretty bouncy. I'm told this is a "truck ride". I'm used to it now but I expected perfection due to the insane Fox suspension setup. Can't speak for the Tundra.
In the Raptor, I do have the 2-4 hour warm engine hesitation (or trans slip whatever) issue. Annoying and can be dangerous but you can't really bring it in to fix it because it doesn't throw a code. It happens once during a ride... maybe
The Ford 10 spd transmission is jerky all around. I feel it clunking when hot and more when it's warming up, as others have. Not unexpected with the number of gears over 5 or 6, as found in contemporary transmissions. Under normal driving conditions the transmission seems fine. In sport mode, even when hot, the trans is very jerky on deceleration... to the point you feel like the rear wheels may lock up. My Lexus has a 5 speed and is flawless up and down the gear tree hot warm or cold and is 20 years old with 190K miles on it (as all prior trans in my vehicles have been). Can't speak of the Tundra trans but it's only 6 so I'm going to assume it's normal and smooth all around.
MPG: I don't really care about this anymore but, the Raptor gets a stready 16MPG on my indicator. My Dodge Charger scat pack (V8 6.4L) got 16 and my Lexus GS400 (V8 4.0L) gets about 15. So all performance and all around the same. Of course that's just me and mostly city type driving.
For me, the SCAB was a good fit and makes the truck length several inches shorter so fits well in the garage
. Another issue for me with the Tundra is all models are the same length. The bed and cab will change length but the overall length is the same and may be uncomfortably long for the garage.
I look at it this way: yes all manufacturers have issues but with Toyota, the chance of getting an issue is much lower.
I suspect that Tundra owners don't care much about performance and features. They use the truck for doing truck things much like your standard F150 owners do.
Raptor owners enjoy a more fun ride and performance. The Raptor is still a truck, but it's very light and more sport car like.
If quality is your main concern, go 2020 Tundra Platinum. Army Green is beautiful.
If performance and fun factor is your main concern, go 2020 Raptor 802a.
If you're going to swap out in a few years regardless, get the Raptor.
