If I had never driven one, the Tundra may have been it. Let's see what Toyota does with its 2022 Tundra and I'll decide if I should trade or not.
This Duramax is my first diesel I bought and it is so quiet inside and so powerful and comfy that I may be hooked. Oh, the cooled seat are amazing but the torque is insane. Dragging a travel trailer up the steep mountain passes is nothing, even though I like to keep it at recommended (65 MPH) speeds.

The data is from a major auction system for used cars and they collect data on the repairs necessary to the auction vehicles before selling. I like it better than any other source I know of because it's objective and has millions of data points. I think for example it had about 60,000 F150s and 10,000 Tundras. It's not all cars, but enough to get a representative sample.
Driving my Sierra was great. Comfortable. Quiet. Pulled like a train. In fact it pulled better than a GMC 5500 we had at the same time. But it didn't stop a trailer nearly as well. I don't know how safe it is when I see people pulling 20,000lb trailers. The 5500 has a lot bigger brakes. Incidentally - the 5th gen 4runner actually has bigger brakes too. So I'm not sure that's saying a whole lot.
