Go drive one with the 5.7 and see for yourself how much power the truck has. Its a different animal to a ford or chevy.
Eh...not really. Maybe vs. the 5.3 Chevy, but the GM 6.2 and Ecoboost blow it out of the water.

Fwiw I drive 2013 crew tundra and I will never buy another brand unless they just completely stop manufacturing
According to these guys (links below), the 2013 is noticeably slower than the 2014.
I suggest watching some of these videos, they are really well done IMO. They take all of the half tons and run the same route towing the same load and compare them all on the same factors. It's obvious the Ecoboost is king...the Ram does surprisingly well and the Tundra and Titan hold their own. None are a bad choice, but some are definitely better than others.

I like the fact you link pretty much a ford fanboy site for your numbers. Lol.
They also are at altitude where the turbo on the ecoboost will have the greatest advantages.
My buddy just got an ecoboost 4x4 lariat and he pulls a cargo trailor. He will be the first to tell you the ecoboost has shite on the tundra. His gas mileage goes to shite while pulling and its always searching for a gear
As far as the 6.2 chevy motor, if its any thing like the 6.0, what a joke.
I moved from gmc to Nissan to toyota.
Hell, real world driving and pulling I would take the titan over the Chevrolet engines. For being unchanged so long, that engine performs better than most.
Apples to apples and taking all the bullshite numbers that the big three throw out every other year with outlandish claims, take the body off the frames of the trucks and put them side by side.
Nearly everyone will take the tundra frame and undercarriage if chosing on that alone.
The rear differential to suspension to brake calipers and transmission, the tundra is heavier built than all where it matters
Take all that shite I just posted as opinion. Lol
