Quick one for the Toyota Haters



If the Yotas are such great trucks, how come they have a Chevy pulling their race trucks?

I don't think Toyota makes a diesel.
That's too much weight for a gasser.

Yeaah....

Maybe it's just me, but I haven't seen many Tundra duallies around here capable of handing a 35'? enclosed triaxle gooseneck race trailer loaded to the brim with race trucks and equipment.

Tool for the job.

Come on Raoul, you been here since '98. You know you can't use common sense on dumbasses. You got to with something like......a..'cause the Ford was in the shop with injector problems again, and the turbo went out.

I would imagine the owner of the race team probably owns more then one dealership and most likely owns a chevy dealership as well as a Toyota dealership.

Yea...that's a tad larger than 35'. If they were smart they would buy a small truck made by Freightliner made for pulling large 5'th wheel trailers and such...

Doesnt matter if they make one of not, it still looks bad to have a direct competitor pulling your trailer. Love the picture, too bad its not a ford though
