    Good move on ditching the Ram, I owned 2 new HD Ram trucks and both were lemons. You'll be happy with the Tundra, I know I wish I had never strayed.

    @SR5TRDTUNDRA i like it way more. I had 35's and an exhaust on the Ram but it was way too loud. The Tundra is smoother, more features and way more tourque I feel like. I'm probably a Tundra owner for life, lol
