I guess toyota decided the tundra couldn't deal with the real thing.

Hah, first thing I thought of when I saw that pic was that plywood looks a lot like steel girders.  If those were real the tundra would be on its bump stops easily, and the tailgate would crumple just looking at all that weight.

I can't remember a time when motortrend didn't just pick the new shiney model of truck as their truck of the year.  It's nothing special, Dodge will probably get it next year.

That's the truth.  Next year dodge will win and then we can put the fake steel girders in the box.  Or maybe we wouldn't do something like that to begin with, it's false advertising...
