I’ve got a 2010 Ram 1500 Hemi and I can’t ever sell that truck because it’s been darned near perfect. 200k miles.

Oil, brakes, shocks, wiper blades, battery, alternator, PCV and gas. That’s about it.

Bought a 2022 Ram ordered without etorque just the way my 2010 was put together because of my reliability experience with the 2010.

I would do a search online for problems that people are having with the Ram. Your current Toyota will have the need for parts to be replaced, and that's only because of wear and tear, and age of vehicle. If you add up the cost of a rear end rebuild and other miscellaneous things needing to be replaced, it's still cheaper than buying a new truck. I'm a little biased because I have a 2012 4Runner which is still going strong.

You're correct in that the cost to rebuild my Tundra is significantly cheaper than buying a new car but Im not sure its wise to drop almost 4 grand into a truck that's 15 years old and just over 120000 miles. My concern with repairing my Tundra is once I get it fixed will I be faced with another costly repair a year or two from now? I got lots to think about and need to weigh all my options before making a decision.

You only have 120k miles on the Tundra? Absolutely replace the rear end. You would be doing yourself no favors going to a Ram or any other pick up for that matter.

If you are at all mechanically inclined you can easily remove your center housing and take it to a shop for the rebuild and reinstall yourself saving you a decent chunk of money.
