I wonder who employs more nonunion workers here in the US? Toyota, Ford, Chevy, or Dodge? My money is on Toyota. It's not the '40s anymore and almost every Toyota sold in the US is made in the US. Not to mention the people that deliver them, sell them, work on them, etc. My grandfather was in the Pacific and drove Japanese made vehicles until the day he died. If he could get past it, I don't see how somebody in 2014 can't. Travis

You probably scream like Rambo when you reach your hotel.
AHHHHHHHH!
Leg cramps are a bitch. Yeah, and I am 6'4", 285 lbs in a Taco. My 2011 Taco has more legroom than the 1991 Ford f150 had. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

I went to the Toyota page and tried to build me a Tundra this morning, but kept getting stymied. I would go to an option and click on it, and it would tell me that I couldn't have that option in that truck, after telling me it was an option. I think you can only get a full size bed in a regular cab, even though it says that you can get one in an extended cab and the option is on that page. I gave up. miles

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.
And both front ends weigh the same I assume? WTF is your point? 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. So your International is 3x's better than your toyota based on the 985K on it? Or is it just built better than your Toyota? PG, is the mental spooning with Walt501 intentional?

It's incredible how many people that don't want a Toyota respond to a thread titled "If you've been wanting a Toyota."
Travis Since it's a toyota thread and since it's December. Lest we forget... �A Date Which Will Live in Infamy� On December 7, 1941, Japanese planes attacked the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Territory, killing more than 2,300 Americans. The U.S.S. Arizona was completely destroyed and the U.S.S. Oklahoma capsized. A total of twelve ships sank or were beached in the attack and nine additional vessels were damaged. More than 160 aircraft were destroyed and more than 150 others damaged. toyota. From the same nice people that brought us Pearl Harbor, the Bataan Death March and other atrocities against the American people. This sure makes me want to go out and buy a new japanese POS vehicle. How about you? Walt501 eagerly accepts your request for a skype chat.

No V6, no manual trans, no cruise control.

I would like to have a full 8' bed with a camper since the shorter ones are too short for me at 6'4", but it seems that when you do, you can't get much else to go with it. miles

Why don't you ask the sailors entombed in the Arizona if they'd buy one? How about asking the Americans killed in the Bataan Death March if they'd buy a one? Ask the Americans killed in the Pacific theater if they'd buy one. It's no big surprise. You won't get an answer. Their lives were stolen from them while they were in the prime of life by a cowardly attack. Now the apologists come out and attempt to justify buying the foreign POS vehicles. They are the same ones that look down on a jap motorcycle when riding their Harley. In the meantime, they've got foreign vehicles parked in their driveways. Hypocrites to say the least. One more thing for the rump rangers screaming union, union. Nope, not in any union at all.

My father's brother took a round through his leg and lost a couple of toes (they stayed in his boot) to a straffing run from a Jap Zero. He LOVED his Toyotas. He even liked Japs, a LOT better than he liked africans.

How about you? Yea, but we fire bombed Tokyo and nuked them twice in addition to kicking the crap out of them on the ground.. I'd say they are paid back in full and then some. Has Toyota ever built a turkey of a motor as Ford did with the 6.0 diesel?

It's long past time to not let Pearl Harbor determine choices. The British burned the Capital in Washington and we moved on past that. The Japanese are some of our best allies today. My dad was a WW-2 vet and lost several cousins to the war. One in the Pacific. If he was able to let it go, so can I.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Ask the Americans killed in the Pacific theater if they'd buy one. We Southerners bought a lot of them over the years that was made in Detroit. miles
