eventhough it is probably news to most posters, that is good advice.
a dually is better when hauling something that outweighs the tow vehicle by a factor of 2.

I will grant the controlled ride 'benefit' but such a stiff structure might also be too stiff for the rest of the truck. It could very well be bone jarring to the riders and it could very well create rattles and loosening in the rest of the cab becase the base has no 'give'.
We'll have to see.

Dave, you don't know a thing about what you are talking about. There are many ,many manager and top people working for Toyota who are not japanese. Jim Press is Presidnet of North America Toyota just for starters and he did not change his name. Toyota has gotten whrere it has even though they have been taxed twice as much as the Detroit 3 and held back from selling cars at Every turn.

Wow kdh, you really like to dwell on this whole side airbag thing, don't you? Is that all you've got? Funny, my GM has side curtain airbags, because I chose to buy them. Someday soon, 2010 at the very latest, ALL vehicles will have them, then what are you going to choose to dwell upon? How come the human race still exists today since side airbags are new and we drove all those years without them, shouldn't we all be dead and trying to call Onstar from heaven? Give it up already. I can hardly wait for the rest of the safety tests to come out, so I can hear even more excuses for why the Tundra did so poorly, especially after hearing that they are going to do so much better "next time around". We'll see...

Dave's rant with no data to support it is noted. Common misconception though.

OOOOhhhh....We are now worthy, kdhspyder "Granted" us the benefit. Let us celebrate!!! What qualifies you to grant any benefits? Only to turn it around and say it's "too stiff"? Bone Jarring? c'mon now, be real. Were talking about the best riding trucks on the planet for the past several decades. And let's not talk about rattles...Toyotas are all rattletraps.

Interesting that you had to pay for them.
The side/curtain airbag and stability contro issue is far more important than the 4 vs 5 stars. Let's just keep the subject in perspective.
Whenever anyone brings up the NHTSA test on one Reg Cab model I only ask why GM and Ford don't even offer S/C airbags and stability control on all their Reg Cab models.
The level of risks aren't nearly the same. So by 2010 the the others will finally reach the safety level of the Tundra. I accept that.

'Scuse please. The best riding trucks on the planet for the past several decades had open C-channel frames.
Let's wait several years to see how these new structures react.

And Toyota gives them away for free?? Wow, impressive. Hey, wanna buy some "land" in Florida?
By 2010, the Tundra probably will be dead and buried, right next to the T100.
