Common Takeda, -kids should be trained from birth, and perhaps this won't happen. For instance, Ford T-shirts and Tiyodee diapers, so that it's born into mind from an early age. Nowahdays and from what I hear, -Tundra diapers were recalled,-it was a safety hazard. They completely separate over the washboard. Right, -wobble all over the place, then freak the nasty. A pot hole could initiate something as catastrophic as well. Yea, what a mess. It was called they're "rubber glove" recall.

Regardless, I wish him luck, -he's going to need that... - Now.

BTW- Great photography! Something I envy and plan to learn in the future. I know I can find MUCH better subjects lol.

I love all the people that chastise others for buying “jap crap” trucks while they 90% of the crap in everyone’s home is made in China.

Takeda – Until someone else offers to pay your truck payment for you buy whatever the heck you want. It is a free country after all…

It's quite the opposite here.

To the OP....since i have nothing positive to say about that truck, i best not say anything about it. All i will say is,...i had a roofer pull in my driveway with one of them to give me an estimate and he was told why he's not getting the job and might as well leave right away.
I'll also say this...
Yes, it's still a free country, right up to the point where Obama hands the USA over to the UN on a silver platter. It'll take some time to see and feel the full impact of this deal. But that's another subject.
Some time in the near future, we all will pay a lot more attention to the "Made in ...." tag on everything we want to buy.
No such thing as a all American made vehicle, but i choose a American company to do business with when ever possible on everything i buy. Excluding APPLE. Since this American company makes nothing here...nada...ciltch...I buy nothing from them. No PC no I-phone, no I-pad. I have my flip type Motorola phone.
Sorry for rambling on....

BTW, to the OP, nice looking truck.
Ever work in a manufacturing plant that produces parts for cars? Ever have the Japanese tour your place of employment where you have to hide or cover up most everything because they will steal your way of manufacturing? You may be at a loss for words but I'm not. I've experienced how "American" they are. Buying one of those things is nothing more than selling out. Shameful and disgusting.

I don't shop Wal-Mart for that very same reason. At least I'm consistent.

Better to be more specific...

An american car maker or an american company ranges from Canada to Chile, and everything in between the continent, just an FYI.

Your interior is much nicer than the interior in my friend's 2010 Tundra. His interior looks like it belongs in a '94 Corolla.

You would utterly be amazed at what I know about automotive manufacturing. (About 36 years worth.) And I'll leave it at that.

I buy what I like. I buy what caters to my needs in a vehicle. Ford built the Lightning, and I had
my first desire to own a pick-up truck. If I were to buy a vehicle based primarily on it being American
made though... 80% USA built and non-union labor would get my vote every time. Toyota just doesn't
do it for me.

Not a bad looking truck, really.

It does, however, remind me of this story:
