Excluding the current body style, the Tundra has had a lot of similar design cues with the F-150 since its inception. When you're #1, everyone wants to be like you.

LOL. Actually, the folks at "Mythbusters" did some scientific testing on whether or not you get better aerodynamics....better mileage....with the tailgate up or down. Their testing PROVED that you're better off leaving the tailgate up/closed.

So I get a good chuckle every time I see some Moron driving down the road with his tailgate down, thinking he's gaining some sort of advantage.

I saw one the other day, the think looked huge! It was a 4-door long bed.... yellow, so you could't miss it.

Long bed or 6.5 foot bed? Only comes in 6.5 I thought.
