They must rate the design highly. They rated the Avalanche the highest at times in the past as well with the previous generation.

I think they consider safety as a high priority and it hurts the domestics when certain features such as side air bags aren't standard. They also rate fuel efficiency high also. The Toyota was the most powerful and the most fuel efficient at the same time. Other magazines have seen the same results with fuel efficiency compared to the Chevy.

I'd buy a Chevy first of course, but the Toyota is a very impressive truck.
