buying a non american pick up truck is probably the MOST UNAMERICAN AND UNPATRIOTIC THING YOU COULD DO. Just think about how dumb you have to be to buy a tudra.

Im guilty of buying an "un american" pick up. Back in '98 I bought a brand new '99 4x4 short cab Tacoma. That truck would go anywhere. Especially after I fitted it with 32x11.5 BFG KO all terrains... I drove it for five years, only thing I replaced were those tires and the engine oil. It had 70,000 miles when I sold it.

Needless to say, Im back in a chevy. 4x4 s10 blazer, most likely wont go 1/2 the places the tacoma would, but at 212,000 miles shes running strong.

Take it easy, my friend. Owning a Tundra doesn't make one dumb.

Easy on the Toyota hate, people.

Nothing wrong with buying a tundra.
Hey, if the Japanese make a better truck, than why SHOULDN'T you buy it?

They don't make a better truck. That's why.

That about sums it up.

Add to it that the Tundra is easily the ugliest full-size pickup on the market.

It's very humorous to me (and I'm sure others) that Toyota is all set to debut their beloved Tundra, but when they see what GM is putting out, they postpone the debut for some redesign. Mostly they were talking about the interior, but seriously? You take something "back to the shop" for a little makeover because you saw the competition and this is what you come up with? How does anyone sitting in a "final design studio" step back, look at that truck and think "yeah, that's nice...build it". I'd say based on the slow sales and the fact that Toyota has to put some serious cash on the hood to even compete in pricing that the general perception about the Tundra is average to poor.

I will give them this....at least they finally made it a full-size and not a 95% full-size pickup like the previous generations.
