Btw I would go for the Tundra. I owned a Chevy Z71 years ago and it fell apart at 80k. I have owned 4 Toyotas and each has been very reliable and all but my current one had over 200k miles.

6.0 is not a VVT or AFM engine. We have 2 that are, a 2015 6.2 truck and a 2017 5.3 Tahoe. We have not had an issue with either AFM or VVT on either. I have never had an issue with the other parts mentioned on these, or previous GM products.
Everyone is aware that some early VVT/AFM 5.3's would eat a cam. I really have not heard of it happening in a newer LS based engine. If you buy used and are worried just go ahead and delete it.

Tundra has horrible mileage. If you're considering Tundra, don't compare it to a half ton domestic, compare it to a 3/4 ton gasser. Not because the Tundra is more like a 3/4 ton, but because its' FUEL EFFICIENCY is like a 3/4 ton. I'd rather have a 3/4 ton gas guzzlin' Chevy than a 1/2 ton gas guzzlin' Tundra...

2017 Tundra SR5 4x4 automatic with big V8 and I get 16-17 hwy and 12-14 pulling 21' Bassboat. Worst mileage ive gotten is 10-12 in 4 wheel drive climbing hills at deer lease. Pulls like a champ! Mileage is better than my 2013 Tundra and bigger gas tank. That saying I have Pro fishing friends driving the Chevy 2500 Duramax and swear by it!!
