How does it feel owning, driving or being seen in your Tundra?

I’m not a truck guy and in a tight spot at work (I work for an ad agency that works for Toyota).
I’ve been assigned the task of explaining what it feels like owning/driving a Tundra versus other choices — especially in “truck countries” like Texas, OK, LA.
As a New Yorker, don’t want to mess this up.
I’m responsible for the real emotions and not the feelings corporate people think. I've got to share what I learned in a meeting.
Mods... Is this kind of think O.K. to ask here or is it not cool? Just trying to be smart, you know? Apologies if this is out of line.

With that being said, the current Tundra debuted over a decade ago and, although Toyota has over the years added a bunch of modern technology as standard or optional equipment (LED headlights, radar cruise, blind spot monitor, lane departure warning, CarPlay, etc.), it is still outdated in a number of areas, the powertrain in particular. Ford's EcoBoost engines and ten speed automatics are much more responsive than the 5.7 liter V8 and six speed automatic in the Tundra. I'm hopeful this situation will improve when the Tundra is redesigned (coming in the 2022 model year, I think), but until then, I think Toyota's reputation for reliability and the killer lease deals available through US Bank are the main selling points for the Tundra.
