I agree. But a 3/4 ton truck or a 1 ton truck is also going to have more towing capacity as well. I think sometimes that Toyota and Nissan are missing the boat on trucks when they haven't offered a larger truck yet. Any by larger I mean a diesel powered 1 ton truck. I'll admit, as a Ford guy, that I think that Nissan and Toyota both have trucks that are just as good as what ford offers in a F150. Performance-wise, they kick the living shit out of a Ford F-150, IMO. But their advertising is only based on kicking the shit out of a 1/2 ton truck in HP, torque, and most of all, towing Capacity.
I guess they realize that less people are buying 3/4 and 1 ton trucks,and diesels, and that most of the companies building a fleet are going to stick to Dodge, Ford, and Chevy primarily, so for now, it may not be a good financial decision to build anything other than what they have now.
I'm not downing Toyota, I actually do like Toyota cars and trucks.
