I don't know how we got to Semi designs etc... it doesn't matter... If you compare this truck to a Ram... You wonder WTF? It doesn't mirror the Ford or Chevy... They never have had the fist shape like Dodge has...
And it's not just the fist shape that mirrors the Ram... It's the side Badge, the fog lights, the head lights, the line on the bumper, the ring around the grill, adding 20 inch wheels, introducing 5.7L and 4.7L engines...
Who cares what companies base their designs off of. The fact is, this isn't just a basic design that was taken.

This is what I really hate about Toyota. I hate the way they do business.

The whole fist shaped front end is not exclusive to Dodge. Ford has used it. So to sit here and compare it exclusively to Dodge is a load. Also, the whole 5.7L engine part is also again, not exclusive to Dodge. Nissan has a 5.6L, which is basically the same thing. Chevy has a 5.3L and a 6.0L engine and Ford has the 5.4L V8. I mean, if borrowing the same engine size were a crime, well, you better arrest every car manufacturer on the planet.
dont forget pontiacs 5.7

This truck is really going to be something to compete with though, towing over 10,000lbs, and that 5.7 is putting out 335hp and 375 torque I think? No denying they took alot of styling ques and engine choices. Lets hope dodge comes out with something.

Ya, that's pretty pathetic. It's looks like a Laramie Ram (a hideous one). It's got the same front bumper style. Stinkin Japs!!

I showed my Grandpa this 07' Tundra and he said "Looks like they tried to make a Dodge Ram."

I thought the Titan was ugly when it came out, but this new Tundra, is the ugliest truck I've seen. Given a choice of Titan or new Tundra, I'd take a Titan.
I agree the fenders remind me of a Ram, but the lines are different on this truck than a 3rd Gen. Ram. I think Toyotas have always been plain and ugly, so this won't keep people from buying them. The real news is in the powertrain. 335 hp and 375 ft. lbs of torque isn't bad.

What is REALLY crazy is that Toyota dealers are having problems getting rid of their inventory of their current trucks. Seems as though people are waiting for the new model to come out......

We all will have to wait for the next Ram body. I'm sure it won't look like anything else out there. Dodge does not follow industry truck design, they lead it!
That's rather funny, considering their current look is from a damn semi....
I don't know what semis are or what they are abbreviated from, but whatever a semi it, the Dodge makes it look good    lol.
I'm not worried about them copying the ram, the next gen ram body will probably knock their socks off. I don't know about looks but we have been diong a good job of leading the truck industry so far...
Imagine, if it wasn't for the HEMI, Nissan and others wouldn't have the big engines they have in there now because tehre would have been noone as stand-outish to compete against. It's dodge that is setting all the benchmarks. Well maybe I'm being a little too "assuming", but as far as i know, The toyota and other future trucks are not looking like the ram by sheer coincidence.

Well, as the owner of a Durango, and former owner of a Toyota T100, I can tell you this; the Toyota is a MUCH better vehicle. I agree that the new Tundra stole a few styling cues from the Ram, but that is where it ends. Any comparison in motor displacement is superficial. The Toyota will be what all Toyotas are...reliable. The Dodge? Not so much. If you question this then you just don't know anything about cars. I invite you to look at Consumer Reports for verification. Oh, and whoever it was that said that Dodge is the best selling full size truck in America is clueless. According to what statistics? Ford is, was and will be for a long time the best selling full size truck in America.
Anyway, all anyone in this thread talks about is how ugly the Toyota is, and how good looking the Dodge is. I'm sure your mechanic will appreciate having your really nice looking truck in his shop as often as possible. I'll stick with reliability...especially since the Toyota is now a legitimate full size truck.
Scroll to the bottom to compare full size trucks.
Peace

toyota is number 2 # for the most recalls ford is number 1# chrysler is number 4# i had a 2002 toyota tundra no miles when i bought it. well ill say this much i could wright a damn book on all the shit to go wrong with it. bad breaks, bad rotors,tranmission troubles the 4x4 ****ing up all the time want me to go on???? traded it in for a 2002 dodge dakota reg cab 4x4 i still have it a strong hard running truck alot better then the pos tundra i had. my dakota has over 90,000 miles on it and it still runs like the day i drove it off the lot. now toyota redesigns its tundra to look like the ram even has a 5.7 engine as dodge. its just like what viper for sale said a few months ago. toyota is trying to play in to the dodge row.they want to be the dodge on the import side. my point ill never own another toyota as long as i live i think ill take a 06 hemi ram next month.
