Give em time, Steve, give em time..... I still support GM as the Silverado is also assembled in Indiana. Last survey truck we bought was a 2500 crew cab, got over 100,000 miles on it in 3 years and still doing ok.

Actually, my bad on the Ford recall of the tires. Let's talk about my buddy down in Atlanta who lost his friggin house because the ignition switch in his Expedition, which was parked in his garage, started a fire that burned his house down. Luckily, neither he nor his family was in the house at the time. Still, to lose everything you have, every stitch of clothing, because ANY manufacturer hasn't yet issued a recall on faulty equipment and/or workmanship, is just wrong in my book.


Those fires were/are the result of a defective brake pressure switch for the cruise control and Ford's assinine wiring setup. The switch is "hot at all times" and brake fluid leakage through the switch contacts could start a fire, even with the vehicle turned off. Pleasant thought, that your garaged Ford could take you & your house out without any warning in the middle of the night.................

There is now an active recall, got a recall notice a few weeks ago for my loaner vehicle, a '94 Grand Marquis. Nice of Ford to step to the plate so promptly crazy......................

A bad ass truck indeed, If you're not pulling anything with it. Lets face it, 1/2 ton trucks were made for the people who want to look important and park a truck in their home development driveway. Texas is the biggest suv.truck buyer and look what they have down there. Paved Highways!
To put it simple, Most who buy 1/2 ton trucks dont even use them.

And many people that own 3/4 ton or 1 ton diesels,don't use them to their potential either.There are a large number of them that never see anything in the bed besides a quad,snowmobile or some groceries,and that never tow more than a quad or double snowmobile trailer.Most of the owners would be better off with a 1/2 ton.Then again,if you had ever been to rural Alberta or Saskatchewan,you would see many 1/2 tons that are worked hard on a regular basis.And a great many of the roads are not paved,with some being no more than unmaintained trails.
However,the fact that many people do not use a truck to it's potential,does not in any way make the Tundra(or any other truck) less of a truck.

Spoken like a die hard Toyota owner. Toyota's trailer being towed around by a Chevy must really put your panties in a bunch. Any way, a real original comeback. wink

bigblock455, you are correct with your assessment of some truck owners. It's the "in" thing to do, so they jump on the bandwagon. To make things worse, they see ads on tv and they become convinced that their truck can out-tow and out-haul anything on 4, or 6, wheels. Reality is much different though. For example, see the Chevy truck towing Toyota's trailer.

At least Toyota knows who makes the greatest truck going. The just drop in at their local Chevy dealership when they need a truck that will flawlessly pull their stuff.

Well put. That is why Kings have their slaves do their work. As if a 5.7 l, 381 hp Tundra with 10,700 pound towing couldn't pull anything. What a bunch of azzholes. What stupid logic. I can't believe some of these guys. They think all the Toyota money goes to Japan too. I went to the mall the other day and saw tons of Dodge Hemi trucks, Chevy and fords. Lots of those 'shopping carts' parked in the lots at the grocery store too. Oh, and I found out what mivhntr stand for too. Mindless, Idiotic, Vacant-Headed, Nauseating, Tacky-thumbsucking-testicle-licking-toilet-training, Rodent. Yep, that's mivhntr. A child trying to live in an adult world.

Any legitimate hauler will use the proper designed vehicle for the task at hand. This includes using a tow vehicle that has the required weight ratings to comply with local laws and insurance requirements. The Toyota brand doesn't currently offer such a vehicle for towing these trailers. Hino does.

In my area we are blessed with one of the best heavy duty truck manufacturers in the world, Peterbilt. I know several of the top executives and engineers from Peterbilt. To a person, they all keep a close eye on Hino. They feel that make some of the best trucks in the world. According to Peterbilt, they are fortunate that Hino does not have a large presence in the US.

Hino is a division of the Toyota Motor Corporation.

A king usually had a court jester and you sure fit the bill as a clown. wink

Does your mommy know what comes out of, and what goes into, your mouth? More than likely, she doesn't. Otherwise you might get your mouth washed out with soap, instead of using mouthwash in between jobs. Of course, everyone knows what you've done for the last 29 years and getting an education isn't one of them. The name thing must have really kept you busy for quite a while. Then again, it must be difficult to get your arms out of the restraints and then get permission to get out of your little rubber room in order to play while hiding behind a keyboard and a monitor.

The Chevy pulling the Toyota trailer around must have really caused you to become more unbalanced. Ask for some extra Prozac and it'll all be better soon. wink
