Nah, Dodge looks like a Toyota.

I don't like the way it looks, but it is a Toyota, and it does fit all the specifications for a 1/2 ton. Meaning that "Domestic" 1/2 tons are going to be hurt badly. The only thing in their favor is price; Toyota's are expensive as sin recently.

Toyota is a great company, and I have nothing against their whipping the Big 2 1/2's butts. They deserve to.

5.7l engine. thats good. the 4.7 is so anemic. toyota was definately bringing up the rear in full size trucks. toyota does make a great product, but when every other full size has at least one 300 hp engine, a little 250ish hp 4.7 sounds less than appealing

toyota tundras are built in us does that make them chevys?? plus it says "ALL NEW 5.7 l engine" that size engine is very common. chevy has had 3 different block designs that are 5.7 l, ford had the 351 which is 5.8, the new hemi is 5.7 and the old 340 equal about 5.6 and nissans v8 is 5.6, so its not uncommon to have and engine that size

GM doesn't have one anymore--Dodge does.

It looks like a bigger version of the new Tacoma. And it looks like at least something to the effect of a HD model, as it indicates towing capacity over 10k. Also, I believe that it is and will continue to be the best build 1/2 ton. I am anxious for an HD diesel with a manual tranny though.
