Ahhh. The new Toyota will easily beat the Dodge Hemi in any race. 0-30, 0-40, 0-60, or the 1/4 mile. Loaded and unloaded......
Towing Comparisions - Toyota came out on top.

Easily? Don't know about that, but let's find out. I only know about the ones I've come up against. THEY were no problem. I'll even run it without the headers. Oh BTW, headers will be available for the '07 hemi in a few weeks from Doug Thorley. Final dyno results to follow.
Anyhow, bring your Toyota around Rivercrazy and let's see how easily it'll beat the hemi at anything.
i have an 05, 1500, hemi, quad cab, 4x that just went over 40,000 miles and i have never had a problem with it. i don't hammer it and it gets serviced every 3000 miles. been a great truck for me and does all i need it to do.
3. Dodge Ram, 5.9L gas. What a pig, horrible gas mileage, but tons of torque. Lots of room, but made in mexico. Paint faded fast.
I don't know about the other models, but I had a 2001 long bed quad cab with the 5.9l, and it WAS a pig. I had no problem with the paint fading, and the mileage was comparable the other gas hogs of the time (bad yes, terrible not so much). I had heard of people complaining about trannies, but never had a problem with mine. Regular trans services every 20k miles. Half of it's 80k miles were towing, so apparently I got lucky, or maintenance really is the key. The most annoying thing about that truck was the plastic dash cracking at 4 years. Look at any manufacturer and you'll find problems. Just depends on how well they spin it......
i have an 03 ram quad cab hemi and love it. i have a 4 inch lift, kyb shocks, 456 gears with lockers and a rocking sound system. has never givin me any problems. just turned 53k. tows like a mofo.
I forgot to add, my dodge gets hammered on a pretty regular basis. When it was first new I was known to smoke the hides a few hundred feet on a fairly regular basis. I haven't lost a race to any truck that wasn't a deisel...Escalade and lightning included.

You lost a race to a diesel?
Don't plan on pulling 10k with the Toyota it may be rated for it but it sure isn't safe. I pulled my boat with one once, never again.
I'm amazed at the two ratings all the manf have on there half ton trucks.
