I've seen the Tundra up close, small frame, thin metal, narrow leaf springs, tack welds and rivets underneath. Front suspension perches are between silverado and F-150, but the hardware is all undersized(typical toyota, minimize bolt sizes everywhere). Nothing special about it, other then the engine it is still about 10 years behind the current F-150 chassis. They only do what the specs on paper look good(i.e. large rotor diameter, but not very thick). Interior is cheap-people will kid themselves because they are somehow drawn to toyota's silver painted plastic like a crow to a bottlecap-but the materials are cheap.
