Everyone has their favorite and their hate list. As soon as one brand is recommended someone will be along to tell you it's a piece of [bleep]. I went with Tundra.

Last time I purchased I wanted a fairly basic 4dr pickup with just a few options. By the time I priced what I wanted and what I was willing to pay I ended up with the tundra. I was near the end of the model year so was a little limited in choices, and most of the big 3 trucks were heavily optioned and more $$ than I was happy about, Toyota gave me the most choices in lightly optioned trucks. Plus I've had very good experience with Toyota in past.
