Home Forums Gear Hunting Trucks and Four-Wheel Drives Toyota or Chevy?

The profits go to Japan and contribute to the US trade deficit. toyota is still has its headquarters in Japan.....

They have a headquarters here and the trucks are made here.The profits go to the stockholders, of which I am sure many are Americans. Irregardless, I bought Big Three junk for years and I am done. Screw me once, shame on you, screw me twice, shame on me.

Nah the Dumbphuck is off his meds again..he drives a lincoln town car what the [bleep] does he know

Your reply explains your toyota purchase, among other things. As far as me buying foreign trash vehicles, NEVER going to happen.

You just have to ignore MIVHNTR. He's the biggest azzhole on the Fire. He's got his head so far up his azz, he can see China from there. He doesn't have the foggiest idea about what he's talking about. GO TOYOTA.

P.S. Now just sit back an watch what kind of stupid comeback he has for this post. I know him sooooooo well. He just can't help himself. The Azz...hole.

Avatar says all I need to know

Toyota

( yeah, that left number is a 5...)

Absolutely no question.

On third Toyota truck plus own a Toyota car.

ZERO problems with Toyota and Honda in 30 years

Phug OBAMA and his schitty auto company.

I bought Toyota stock a few years ago during the false warning used to boost GM stock. Made a tidy sum on that one.

After the Marxist Obama's union tug GM moved a good portion to Communist China I see no reason to support GM

The commies killed 1000 times more innocent people than the Japs

Put that in your pipe and smoke it

So much that is supposed to be American Made has parts built elsewhere............I can't waste my time tracking down where this was made and that was made!!!

Taxpayer dollars and they move Truck production to mexico. That makes sense

I grew up in the Flint area and most of my family was employed in the auto industry in one form or another. I too thought like you, but them I realized how many of the vehicles I bought had issues. The last straw was a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 I bought new. That POS ate expensive parts like injection pumps, front ends and auto tranny's like it was going out of style and it rusted out in short order. Of course it was built in Mexico with a Cummins diesel engine block cast in Brazil....

If you need a job done, you need a truck that will do it. Neither Toyota nor Nissan make a 3/4 ton.

True. However, not everyone needs a 3/4 ton truck and from the examples the OP gave he does not need one either. My Tundra will tow and haul all I ever need....as would the other 1/2 tons.

Had F-150's for the last 2 trucks. Ran each to about 180,000 with minimal complaints. Always buy slightly used - couple years old, under 30K. Bought the Tundra this time. Everyone I know runs a truck of some sort and I couldn't find a complaint on the Tundra.

Glad to hear so many of you are happy with your Tundras. I just bought a 2008 model yesterday. Looking forward to dumping my old Dodge and all it's problems.

I no longer have a need for a 3/4 ton truck. I would however kill to have a diesel in my Tacoma.

You may want to check on that. What I hear is the opposite.

On another note, don't mess with a guy driving a Dodge. He's already mad...

Just thought I would post a pic of the truck that I wound up getting. It's everything that I want, and need in a truck. Fuel economy is so so, between 19 and 20, mixed highway and town driving. But I knew that going in, otherwise I would have gone with the 4 banger.
All I can say is, I really love this rig, I hope to keep it for a long time and I hope Toyotas reputation for dependability won't let me down. This is my fourth Toyota 4x4, and I had very minimal problems with the other three.

Looks nice and probably rides pretty good with the long wheel base.
