Agreed. Thats not the only thing, Very flimsy = alota cost cutting and add to that a very very hefty price tag, Toyotas trying to sell tons of Tundras and wants tons of profits and doesn't care about the consumer. Not good. If I were them and I knew I was entering a danger zone like the full size pickup market, I would've made sure everything on this Tundra was like the old one, but this time, way better. I would pick apart the competitions trucks and see what makes them work, and then build the Tundra better than theres in every way.

Toyota has alot of experience in building heavy duty vehicles, this truck is a big exception.
