American ingenuity over Japanesse engineering any day!!

 

Go ahead and be a trader and by that jap crap I would have had some respect for ya if you went with Chevy or Dodge if you didn't want to buy a FORD as they both are American made. Go ahaed and be a trader and sell out to the japs.

 

You ask for an unbiased opinion and then quote from CR... one of the most anti-american product review groups out there. I can point many a thing wrong with what you posted.

Only truck that i have driven at 80mph that you can talk to someone in a normal voice and thats with flowmasters on my truck.

I trust all disc brakes than the disc/drum brakes still common on a lot of toyota products and frankly best braking truck ive driven. I tested trucks from the big three and toyota before deciding on my truck. You can't expect a 3 ton truck to stop on a dime.

Im 6'1 and just under 200 and I have no problem getting in or out of my truck. I have sat in the back before when my dad was driving it and there was leg room for me unless the seat was all the way back. I drive a Supercab. If they had probelms here, they are either using a 6'8 guy or someone who is in their 80's and walks with a cane.

Can we say contridictions.

You see that, That is a incomplete list of all the awards the Ford f-150 has won. Think Ill trust that over one report from a company that is very biased towards jap cars. Have a nice day and dont let the door hit you on your way out.

 

take your whatever and have a nice day...dont bother us blue bloods again...and dont let the door hit you on the way out...zap!

 

umm...actually he is referring to the day that Japan attacked us at Pearl Habor.

ummmm don't know what was the significance of that date? Oh I know... that's the date thousands of American citizens were rounded up and put in internment camps because of the way they looked.

Bro get real.

 

I know to which day he is referring.

But 60 years after the fact... thats some pretty sad thinking.


Oh and FWIW, Rams are made in Mexico. Yep. Buy American.

F150 engines made in Canada. Yep buy American.

In today's global economy, that Jap crap argument wears thin. I don't see too many people avoiding Chinese made goods. The same China that America fought in Korea. Much closer in recent memory than WW2.

 

That's right. Let's all get real and stop the Jap Crap argument. Most of the executives at Toyota and Honda weren't even alive when Pearl Harbour was attacked.

I still wouldn't buy one of their vehicles... but not because of an event that happened over 60 years ago.

 

I'm not getting into this again.

 

Have fun with your Toyota. If that is your choice so be it. You can quote Consumer reports, Consumer digest, Consumer whatever, again, it is all personal preference about what truck you like.

Now personally, I don't want to look like a soccer mom going to pick up the kids as I drive down the street. I am keeping my FORD. Could be worse, you could be getting a Chevy Alalanche.....er wait a minute

 

Toyota trucks are just way too fugly.


Avalanche, rofl. Gotta love those plastic trucks.

 

heard on the radio that the Tundra has a recall.

brake fluid leaks causing loss of hydraulic pressure...

nice.

 

While this may be unpopular, it is true.
I read this article in either Motor Trend or Car & Driver- I forget which one... I don't like long beds, nor do I use my truck as....a truck. It's my car- so you won't catch me using it like a truck very often.

Everything is a matter of opinion...
I love my F-150, but- I gotta tell you- if I wre in the market today, I would not buy a 2005 F-150 without first test-driving a Titan Crew Cab and a Sierra Denali Crew Cab; and I'm pro Ford; I'm just not blind- or single minded enough to think there's only one nice truck..
The truth is, there's only one right choice, and that's whatever you choose to make 36, 48, 60 or 72 payments on. As long as you can live with it, so can we...

 

Peeps, this thread was brought back from the dead. Having said that, buy American.


"American ingenuity over Japanesse engineering any day"

Right on. Anyone can reverse-engineer (japanese) a vehicle from something already created (American, German engineering.) Truth is a biotch.

 

I will continue to buy American... but for a different reason. To me, Toyota is doing to cars what WalMart is doing to retail. My feeling is that they will soon dominate and then call the shots like GM did in the 60s. They will operate US plants as long it is beneficial to them. Once they have 20% market share and GM is bankrupt... you will have even less choice than you did in the 60's under GM.
