2013 Dodge ram or 2010 Tundra?

Am in the market for a new truck. Currently own an 01 GMC. Looking a 2010 Dodge Ram. Any opinions regarding pros and cons. Its a 4.7 ltr. engine. Also considering an older, 2010 Toyota Tundra. Any thoughts appreciated.

Are these rust-belt vehicles? I would give the Tundra's frame a close examination.

Thanks,

Twalgamuth - no towing, just everyday driving, short commute, hauling whatever fits in the bed, nothing heavy.

Oldsinner - Think and hoping it's a chain.

PC, - both tx vehicles

Enga - Gas

My son owns an 07 Tundra limited. Great engine (5.7) Nice ride. Very prone to rusted frame and bed. I believe a recall just came out for rust. Also look for front drivers side differential bearing failure. Needed to add airbag helpers in the rear.
Still better than the dodge for comfort. Dodge might be a better work truck.
