Gentlemen, I happened to watch this video last night while researching possible replacements for my 2013 Ram 1500. Given the snowy conditions, like you, I was impressed with TRD Pro Tundra's performance running all three stages of the route successfully. It's actually even more impressive when you consider that you managed it with an open rear differential. You mention the Tundra's Auto-LSD at one point as one of the traction control aids the truck offers in addition to a 2-speed transfer case. However, unless something has changed recently (as in the year or two) the Auto-LSD feature wasn't a factor in your success. The Toyota Auto-LSD operates only in 2WD mode, not in 4WD. While it is a traction improvement tool situationally, on slick highways or on a wet boat ramp when in 2WD, it's not helpful in the situation you guys tackled in the video. I see lots of comments to the effect that it doesn't have a "true locker". In truth, when in 4WD mode, it has no locker of any kind. I also see comments about the on-road biased on-road/off-road Michelins. Both true. But abra cadabra, you got where you were going and it actually looked kind of easy. Well done. In the larger context, all modern (I use "modern" charitably in the Tundra's case) full-sized pickups are handicapped off road anyway - they have big breakover angles and substantial width. I'm reminded of that fact every time I lose a side stirrup to a boulder or listen to the nails-on-chalkboard sound of creosote branches removing long stripes of paint from my doors and fenders. If my main pursuit was off-roading, I would not pick a big truck to do it. When I off road it's almost always to get someplace hard to reach to do some other activity like archaeological surveys, take a backcountry hike, photograph something under just-the-right light, observational astronomy, etc. For all of these things big cargo capacity is a must. The Tundra has big second row cargo space and with a shell, big enough bed cargo space. It has slowly crept up my list from the very bottom (on account of the usual gripes - no locker, horrendous fuel economy, last-century gear box, etc.). For my intended use it's better than my current truck - better ground clearance, fancier factory suspension with the Fox set-up, LED headlamps and fog lights, much better range-per-tank with it's 38 gallon fuel tank (my Ram has the stock 26 gallon, but even if I swapped in the optional 32 gallon, this Tundra would still have more real-world range as my Ram averages only about 14.5 mpg in mixed driving with a 5.7L Hemi and a 3.91 rear) and for those LONG highway slogs getting from home here in Napa Valley in California to the 4 Corners region to play, it has radar cruise-control for those 12-14 hour driving days. I also think the price is actually pretty good when you compare apples to apples. Ignore the marketing that would have us think this Tundra is Toyota's answer to Ford's Raptor or the Ram Rebel. It's not. The Tundra TRD Pro at ~$52-54k has a feature mix you can't match with Ram or F-150 for anything close to that price. Try it. Price a Ram or F-150 (haven't tried it yet with a Silverado/Sierra) with the following: 4WD, crew-cab, SB, leather seating surfaces, LED headlamps and fog lights, fancy factory performance exhaust, V8, auto-LSD or alternative, sat-Nav, auto-cruise, stock skid plates and a big fuel tank. A comparably equipped 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Cab short bed 4x4 lacks a fancy suspension option (unless you want to treat the $1800 air suspension as a Fox suspension alternative, which pushes the Laramie price even higher) and comes in around $58k in MSRP, about 4k more than the Tundra. F-150? Ha, ha, ha, ha. Overpriced compared to alternative in any apples-to-apples trim comparison - You're just over $60k MSRP. Toyotas tend to have better resale value than Fords or Rams (or Chevy/GMCs), so economically you pay less going in (apples-to-apples in feature terms) and get more of what you paid coming back out after 5-10 years. No decision yet, but as I said, the Tundra has slowly climbed from "almost didn't consider it" to "I could see buying one to replace my current truck".

Tundra is a money printing press. Toyota makes 3 times as much per unit on Tundra as any of the big 3. Tundra sales are still solid. It's looking like 2020 for an update, probably moving to a twin turbo v6 and 8 speed like the Lexus vehicles have. 416hp 450 ft/lb. Pretty similar to the Ecoboost. That's my bet of what we'll see in the engine bay. Otherwise it'll probably be pretty similar. Nothing meaningful has changed in truck design otherwise.

My Camry went through 2 engines and needed a 3rd so I sold it back to the dealer under the lemon law with less than 25,000 miles. My Tacoma was the worst. Couldn't keep it running more than a few weeks at a time without something going wrong: tranny lost 4th gear, rear axle went out, transfer case burnt up, it was only 4 years old and there was rust showing on the rocker panels, not to mention the piddly shit that kept nickel and diming me to death. I live in the South, no where even near the rust belt! After it left me stranded on the side of the road for the umpteenth time, I had had enough. Went out the following week and bought an F150 and have been happier ever since. That was over 20 years ago. My F150s have had their issues over the years, but there's 1 important thing they've never done: Left me stuck on the side of the road. I've always been able to drive it home.

I was told by the dealer president of my Canadian prairie Toyota dealer the reason they don't put a more aggressive tire from the factory on the Tundra was because the fuel mileage is a touchy subject and would be even worse if it had bigger rubber. The individuals father owns the dealer and he has worked at the dealer for over 25 years and even built a 2014 Tundra with air locker, lift kit, big lights, winches, running boards and custom front and rear bumpers and possibly more stuff. True or not Toyota position is that if you are truly a off roader you will adapt the truck or buy a Tacoma. My personal thoughts are that the Tundra is already a big truck and if you are in the bush or swamp with a new truck you are going to scuff and scratch the clear coat whcih is kinda stupid. Carry a trailer and build a custom offroad vehicle to have fun instead of a quad that you don't care if it gets scratched or rolled so that you can go mudding or bashing to your hearts content.

Edit: I want to clarify, the Aisin A466ND in the Titan and the Aisin AS69RC in the dodge 3500 are similiar in the fact that they weigh approx the same (400lbs) and they share the same gear ratios. The AS69RC is said to be able to handle up to 950 ft-lbs of torque, while the A466NND is said to hold around 700 ft'lbs.
