Toyota trucks are designed in the US, dumbass...
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.

The engineering and many components come from the japs who started world war 2 and killed and tortured many innocent people. I see no benefit or pride to a patriotic American to buy jap made goods. Picture of the little japs surrendering their rifles to the US-Army. So, are you also proud of your great grandparents that slaughter & killed innocent indian women & children in their camps too! History is history...get over it, your showing your true color, & it's not a pretty sight Nah the Dumbphuck is off his meds again..he drives a lincoln town car what the [bleep] does he know

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.

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 The engineering and many components come from the japs who started world war 2 and killed and tortured many innocent people. I see no benefit or pride to a patriotic American to buy jap made goods. Picture of the little japs surrendering their rifles to the US-Army.

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.

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.

The Tacoma would likely get better mileage. I think that both brands are pretty reliable and driving the miles you do that either will do the trick. I think it's more which style do you prefer. 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... DF

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.
