Hmmm...curious about the room in the backseat of your Suburban! What has more room? Been awhile since I had a bench in the back though. Mine has the captains chairs and I have friends in the upper 6 ft range that are comfortable back there!

The cams breaking were limited to a few serial numbers. From my gatherings toyota has corrected these issues on the models that were in the deal, they were replaced with new engines, even the ones that were still running and had not had any issues. I don't really like the looks of any of the new trucks to be honest with you. I however will stay in the lines of a ford or dodge diesels from here on out for work trucks. I don't even think we'll mess with any more d-maxs after this year, cummins is the way to go.There is no doubt the toyota is probably a nice truck, but with the weight we tow and abuse they catch as a farm truck, the toyota wouldn't be able to produce, but then again....its really not designed to as well. Good light duty truck though.

Does anyone know if Toyota fixed the problem they had with camshafts breaking on the new 381hp motor? I heard some rumblings about that on ls1tech.com...
I'm also not sure if the sales guys at Toyota are telling their Tundra customers with that motor about their pricey 30k mi service... Heard it costs roughly $1000... ???

It test drove a Ex. (Eddie Bauer) before I bought the Burban (LT).. Although the Ex. was cavernous I couldn't stand the harsh ride, crappy turning radius and didn't like having a flying projectile (spare tire) in the cargo area of the truck... Maybe they've updated that since...
In a pickup truck...Ford is the only way to go in my opinion...SUV Chevies Rule!
