If I were replacing my truck today with a 1/2 ton, I'd look hard at the Tundra but a GMC would be my first choice. I've liked the Tundra for a long time. When I bought my truck, I needed a 3/4 ton and bought a GMC 2500HD with a Duramax Diesel. Mine is a 2011, but the current model has some very nice upgrades. I get compliments all the time. In my opinion, the new interior of the GMC blows every other truck away. Also, they put the same Duramax engine in the 3/4 ton that they do in the 1 ton, so I have lots and lots of power (and way more torque than the competition). Personally, I love having a diesel engine (which the Tundra doesn't offer). It gets better mileage, and has power when I need it.

My BIL has a Ford F150 and likes it. I do not buy Fords (had so many issues in the past that a Ford rep suggested I buy someone else's product, so I"m glad to oblige), but will say his has some nice features. Ford's diesel engines have not had a good reputation overall though, which may not be a consideration for you.
