"Destroys" is harsh, but for what I need the superior towing MPGs and range of the Tundra's 38 gallon tank does destroy the competition. From what I've seen, only the 3.0L Duramax Diesel bests the Tundra in towing MPGs in the 1/2 ton market. But with the Sierra/Silverado's 24 gallon tank and the need for DEF, the regular unleaded octane of the 38 gallon Tundra with a 4.30 rear axle beats the Duramax too.
In a short time, we should know if Toyota keeps a 1/2 ton truck for buyers like me, or if they've gone the way way of the mall-crawling big 3, and produces a bunch of mall crawlers, because 1/2 tons have become the new American sedan. In the meantime, if you need a 1/2 ton for towing long distance, nothing touches the current gen Tundra when it comes to mileage and range.
