Since 2007, this truck has overachieved. It was so advanced AT THE TIME, that Toyota did not have to radically update the mechanicals. The 5.7L has 9 throttles: a main, and one for each cylinder. It has variable induction, a forged crankshaft that is three times stiffer than a cast one, and of course, they debuted the Triple Tech frame/chassis. Ford has copied that, GM copied the damped tailgate, and no one has offered STANDARD 4-piston, floating caliper brakes (MUCH longer brake life and even pad wear). All of this adds up to a truck that lasts, is less expensive to maintain, and has tremendous resale value.
