But it says "Off Road©" right on the side of the trucks. Isn't that the
absolute truth?

Warning: That might've been a sarcastic statement.

Toyota used to have a disclaimer in their sales brochure that the Tacoma was
built to be used off road. GM used to market their losers as light duty,
which I take to mean station wagons with a bed.

You are going to need to define "off road" My trucks are off road all the
time - checking cattle fences, chasing cows, hauling supplies to the
planters, pulling equipment out to a field, etc.

Now if you are talking about riding around in the mud for fun, well, that is
just playing and of no importance to me.

I actaully have a lot of problems with people who like to play off road.
More than once one of the boys haa had to leave their toy stuck out in the
middle of one of my fields. I've had to pull more than one Tacoma out of the
mud becasue the idiot driver thought his paly toy could go anywhere. I
should start taking pictures.

The way the pick-up bed flexs on a slightly rough road. Tundras beds flex
like crazy.

How many Tundras have you driven under those conditions?

It's just not what they are designed for.

Comparing a Ford F150 to a Tundra is like comparing an Explorer to a
Land Cruiser. They look similar from the outside, and those that go
solely by appearance are the legal prey of salespersons that don't
disclose the vehicle's limitations.
