And what rock are you living under???????? Toyota trucks have more American parts in them than Ford, Dodge, and Chevy. FACT! And how many TENS OF THOUSANDS of Americans are putting food on their table, clothes on their children's back, money back into the American economy with their earnings from working in Toyota plants in the United States? Man, duhhhhhhhhhhh! And don't give me that crap about Japan making money from selling their vehicles made in America and sold to Americans. They are a Japanese company for God's sake. They sell vehcles all over the world. And oh, by the way, so does the U. S. Do you think they take about NOT buying U.S. vehicles in Japan? Probably not, and could care less. Toyota is no. 1 in sales world wide (because they sell a good product) and 2nd in the U.S.,(soon to take over no. 1). And with an unmatched reliability record like Toyota vehicles, why would anyone with 1/2 a brain not think that their trucks couldn't hang with the inferior built, unreliable Big 3 vehicles. Hello!!!!!, they already do. Wake up boys!!They are just built better. FACT! What proof do YOU have to new, big engine, Toyota trucks not getting good gas mileage. You don't. Well, here is some proof. I own a new 07 Tundra with the big 5.7 l engine. With 2500 miles on my new truck, I'm averaging 17 mpg all around. On a trip last month to West Virginia, I got 20.7 mps. FACT! Try that with a Hemi. I have friends with Dodges and they are getting about 10/12 mpg. I sold my 01 Tundra to a guy who had a Dodge Dakota. Boy did he take a step up. He was getting about 12 mpg. He couldn't believe the power of my 01 Tundra (with a smaller engine) compared to his Dakota. He was happy to have my 01 Tundra with more power and was getting 18 mpg with it too. And try getting $17,000 out of your used, 6 year old Ford, Dodge or Chevy. This is my 3rd Toyota truck and my wife is on her 3rd Camry. They have all been bullet proof. I've owned Ford, Dodge and GM produces. Never again. BUY TOYOTA, that's a no brainer. I am tickled to death to have a 381 hp, stock, hemi eating Tundra getting 17 mpg on the average. You big 3 owners just need to escape your tunnel vision mentality, take your head's out of the sand and face the music. Toyota is in the truck business big time, and here to stay. And the big 3 are feeling it too. Any you guys just cant' stand it, can you? I can tell, as your comments confirm. Truth really hurts, doesn't it boys! Toyota hit a home run with their new Tundra. That truck is overbuilt in every way from bumper to bumper. Get used to it, and GET OVER IT. Respond with all your redneck negative comments. Fine, bring it on. I don't care, as that won't bother me at all. I only know when I drive to work in my new 2007 Toyota Tundra, and pass guys with their Fords, Dodges, and Chevys, I'm in envy of NO ONE. Go Toyota.
