The Tundra is a niche vehicle. And it simply doesn't have the range of vehicles to get anywhere near the others. It will never be anything more than a bit player.

The Taco is different, because it's been a market the US manufacturers have only ever been luke warm at. The Ranger was off the market for years. And only recently brought back. I think GM pulled out of that market for quite a while too.
Toyota has virtually 0% market share in the commercial space in the US. They don’t market to fleets, and there is no chassis cab version. That being said, Toyota knows who its customers are, and they seem to be comfortable with the market they do have. I’m sure this new gen Tundra will be great.
