Well, most of my last F150s issues were related to hecho in Mexico. Line-x was independently tested and DID make a huge difference to strength of material underneath it. Patagonia had or still has some large military contracts, so they play both sides. I got pissed at gm too. I still prefer Toyotas, period. Gonna sell my cruiser and buy another tundra before I look at any of the big 3 half assed stuff again.
