Since I'm a member on here, this would be the place to discuss. I'm still driving my Frontier, but I've outgrown it, particularly with a family. While the Ram is on the Short list, I wanted to see what the Tundra was going to offer before I made my choice. I really didn't expect that they were going to do a full ground-up build. To me, that means it could be one of the best 1/2-ton platforms, at the moment. For me, I just don't like Ford, I'm not impressed by GM. Nissan Titan makes a good work truck, but it's just plain old and not great for daily use. For an all-rounder, the Ram is the truck to beat, IMO.
Reasons I would want the Ram 1500.
EcoDiesel fuel economy and longer range fuel tank.
Better looks
Front Tow hooks/anchor points
Better storage
I don't yet trust the long-term reliability of a new V6 twin-turbo engine.
Reasons I would want the Tundra:
CrewMax + 6.5' bed + RWD (don't want 4x4), is my ideal setup for a family and towing.
TSS 2.5 is pretty damn good. I'm not the biggest fan of nanny features, but I do want driver assists, nowadays, especially in a big truck.
Pretty well laid-out center console.
I don't really care for multi-use tailgates, but I think the easy access button is pretty dope.
Since I've already convinced myself to pay $50k+ for a mid-level Ram, $50k seems to get me more with the Tundra.
