Detroit versus Japan
Who makes the better 4wd drive truck these days? And who gives the best bang for you dollar? Has Detroit improved in the last 10 years? What about the last five?

Detroit automakers have really improved their quality over the last several years. Though (in general) Toyota and Honda are still the leaders. When it comes to trucks though, the US manufacturers are still the industry leaders.

Re: Detroit versus Japan
Dodge and Ford have the truck market under control, GM makes lame trucks in comparison.

However Toyota trucks will always be the most reliable, just ask all those African farmers with thier 1 million Km+ Hiluxes...

It largely depends on what you intend to do with the truck. GM full size trucks are the most car like, and the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks are really the only ones worth looking at if you have to work. Dodge and Ford own the towing category, but GM is right up there with them with the Isuzu built Duramax motor. If I had my choice, It would be a Cummins Dodge 4x4.

Ford find a pickup that will out pull a powerstroke diessel and I will shake your hand.

Imports don't cut it in the pickup market sorry!

maybe in italy the tundra is a big ol workhorse, or if you put it next to a "ute" in austrialia(sorry bout spelling) it would look like a tough truck, put it next to any fullsize american truck or the titan it looks like a car.
