Ha cool videos... those slightly older model year videos, not 07... anyhow... In any case the answer to the question: "Which company do you think designed/manufactured the better of the two frames?" When talking about the current F-150 and Tundra offerings from Ford and Toyota, requires no knowledge of frame specifics, nor does it require the evaluation of the actual frames. Regardless of which is better for what reasons(which is subjective anyhow) the answer is Dana Corp, which designed and manufactures both frames. Just another reminder that shopping/comparing vehicles by brand in 2008 is a grossly inadequate practice if you are concerned with more substantive detail than the badge it wears. In any case, I bet the video like those links posted helped push Toyota to realize that the dana frame in the video(F150) was better than what it had, and it should let dana build it's frame too... which it now does.
