Traded a 2007 Tundra and the 5.7 in it was a beast! Also had a 2003 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 put 285,000 miles on it! Got ran over and off the road by a tractor trail, flipped it four times (survived because of the quaility build), got $4500 out of the insurance company and watch the guy drive the "totaled" truck until the flatbed wrecker at the impound yard...Yea their garbage!! LOL....
You're right on here. I don't see how anyone can even pose an arguement other than one strictly based on opinion about how Toyota is bad company or even criticize someone for buying one vs. an American named one. I say named because that is the main difference.

The 5.7 in this truck is a monster. Don't forget they basically used a Chevy 350 block and tweaked it with DOHC and other internals. I'm running it at the local 1/8th mile track and I'll compare my timeslips with my best from the Camaro.
