Well I actually bought a Tundra Stepside a few months ago instead of the 8. I did it because I can write it off as a capital expense.
I really do love the Tundra though. I've had about 8 sports cars in the past and 2 SUVs. The Tundra is far better than any SUV I've owned (2 4Runners).
It's got gobs of power and is actually quite fast. Mine is a TRD (street) version and I almost bought the supercharger and headers which can boost hp and torque by about 45%.
I also got a killer deal on it. 1k under invoice and another 2k off. I highly recommend the Tundra.
Plus the Tundra seems to get better mileage. :p

So many roads to ride...
I was thinking about getting a dog, or a snake. Then I decided on a dog. The snake had no legs...then I thought maybe I'd pick up a guinea pig, but I didn't.
Tundras are not like 8s.
Do you catch my drift????:D

It just so happens I work at the plant that builds the Tundra.
I must agree with mxmedina the Tundra does handle great
especially with the optional Sports Suspension Package.
If you do add a supercharger alone it makes H.P. around 353
but..... They are two completely different vehicles

I know they can take a 40mph turn, because I have had them on the test track. And yes it handles great for a truck. I think you are thinking of a SUV on the rollover thing.
I think the RX-8 was built to handle great, and the Tundra was built to do what a truck does, but has the ride and agility of a sports sedan.

I have both. I have had a 2000 tundra since Nov 99. I just got my RX8 Sept 26. The Tundra is a great riding truck and with a rear sway bar really handles well. I use it mostly to tow my 17 Lund fishing in Canada. I have towed it 12,000 miles so far. I love my 8 so far and I due get better gas mileage then in the Truck.
