How the hell did we go from talking about trucks to discussing bailouts, stock shares, investments, engineering, patriotism and bangin' cougars? Oh, yeah, we're on the 'Fire.  That is the standard progression exhibited on a consistent basis. Goat roping should be next.....

Behind every Toyota is a Ford or Dodge ready to lap that piece of crap!

W. Bill LOL! Let me give you an example. The ball joints on my Taco went at 13 years and 300,000 miles. The front end of my 2006 Dodge Cummins went at 3 years and 105,000 miles. Sample of one, but illustrates the point pretty poetically. Well, lets make that a sample of two - my 2006 Dodge Cummins is getting new ball joints and front diff. bearings next month to the tune of $1300 and I'm just about to turn 100k  I will add, I'm quite satisfied with the truck and would buy another. Not surprised a bit on the ball joints, but the front diff. bearings kind of has me wondering what's up...

Go look at what 10 year old Tacoma's and Ranger's or S10's are selling for, Craigs list, NADA used values or anywhere else.

My 2001 International 9100 weighs 11,800 lbs on the front axle every week coming back from B.C. and has 985,000 miles on it. It's still on it's original front end. It's not the weight, it's the way it is built.

Checked out a long bed Tacoma today. Found out they are making those like Chevrolets, in Mexico. Guess I'll go back to a new Tundra made in San Antonio. Was kind of excited about a Taco, but I just can't like the short beds, and am not buying Mexican. My wife has a Ram 1500 built in the US, my 2013 Ram 3500 was built Mexico, in fact all the Ram 2500, 3500 line is built in Mexico now days. The Ram 3500 was the only SRW on the market that could handle the payload I needed without going to dually, or I would have bought something made in the US. I have to say the quality has been good on both trucks, no complaints. I looked at the Tundra, it's a nice truck but almost 10k more than the RAM.

Walt,
I'll buy you a beer at the VFW in Blaine, MN. Just try not to get so excited over a truck dealership running a sale.

and my US made Ford: ![[Linked Image]](http://imageshack.com/a/img707/4070/6e9r.jpg) Now lets get back to the shaming of Toyota owners from guys with Mexican made vehicles.... My Taco wasn't made in Mexico and neither was my Ford.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o222/CharlieB401/Picture264.jpg)

I looked at the Tundra, it's a nice truck but almost 10k more than the RAM. OK  The most popular setup of the Tundra and the Dodge Ram both come with a 5.7 liter V8 engine. The Tundra's engine outputs 381 HP and 401 torque while the Ram's manages 395 HP and 410 torque. Even though the Ram manages to beat out the Tundra in raw power, it isn't capable of towing as much without a towing package, and can only manage 7950 lbs. while the Tundra is capable of 10,000 lbs. standard.
With such similar power figures the only number that really stands out is the towing difference, and that could be a big deal if you need to tow something in the 8,000 to 10,000 lb. range. But on the plus side for the Ram it has a 15 and 22 MPG fuel efficiency and the Tundra only manages a 13 and 18 MPG efficiency.
When you take into consideration that the Ram's MSRP is around $3,000 more than the Tundra and you will probably have to spend more on additional packages as well, the Tundra is just a better value overall.

That and your Toyota will use twice as much fuel as the Ford EcoBoost.

That's what keeps North Dakota in business. Do you hate America? Travis

I think I could drive a Ford and appreciate it having the highest number of US parts. Still leaning Tundra. Do you drive an EcoBoost?
