The Tundra uses an open C-channel frame, which is much weaker and prone to flexing. When driven on washboard surfaces, the Tundra's bed has been known to make contact with the cab due to the flex in the chassis. Its a pile of shit.

I thought the C-channel was supposed to flex. Don't models of F250s, 2500s and even semis use this same design? I've seen that video of the frame "strength," but I can't help wonder if there is a certain MPH that it will produce the opposite results.

I don't understand some of Chevy's comparisons like this
one. If you watch the infomercials you can see Chevy advertise fuel economy. They compare a 315HP Silverado to a 390HP Ram which one gets one less mpg on the freeway according to EPA estimates. Why not compare to the 6.0 VortecMax? In my opinion, it doesn't really make sense. I'm not bashing GM but I question them.
