A quick google search suggests Toyota Motors market capitalization is approx $180 billion, plus another $60 billion or so in other Toyota companies.

Look's like G.M.'s market capitalization is about $21 billion.

Comparing Toyota to G.M. is like comparing a cat to a mouse. The cat has just not decided whether he wants to eat the mouse or whether he wants to toy with him until the mouse dies.

For those who completely missed the point (and that seems to be a bunch of you).

Freightliner doesn't race on the Nascar Truck circuit.

Chevrolet and GM do.

Yes, we're all aware that Toyota doesn't make a diesel, a duelly, or a big tow vehicle.

Won't suggest a sign for you.
A bunch of people on this site have confused 'racing' with 'towing' for a long, long time.

The Toyota dealer out here uses a F-350 crew cab 7.3 two wheel drive to pull his 700 HP dragster Supra.

So how did you find that truck????

Were you rubbing elbows with your fellow goat herders or just looking for new stock? I heard they take checks over there.

Its kinda hard when the RAM has so little US content in it that many sources now consider it an import (going by parts content), or the Silverado is made in Mexico or Canada while the Tundra has 80 percent US content and is built right here in the USA with American hands.

So according to you... instead of eating the rice that is grown and processed here in the US we should buy the beans that are being shipped here accross the border?

I'd rather eat beans than eat rice any day of the week.

So when's that thing is your sig gonna be ready for takeoff? Look's like a moon-rover.
