Not to shabby, Im not one for the looks of those trucks (they have the look of a 4wd pavement princess) but to each there own.
A kid at my work just went and bought one of these, paid 6000 more for it than the other ones because it has a level kit and 33's on it


The whole made in america buying thing, I totally understand where you guys are coming from ( I try to buy domestic too) but to be really technical, the big 3 start out in Canada. The steel plant I work for is one of the suppliers of steel to Ford, chevy and dodge and also your military ... Just saying :P

Misguided nationalism.

Short sightedness at its peak on some of these forums.

I'm not fond of Toyota appliances.

But I do have this to add to the debate of "where the profit goes"

Name any American company and follow the profit trail: billionaire and millionaire investors plus fat bonuses to executives (even when they lose money)

As much as we challenge the profit going to Japan, even if it stayed here it's going to people we don't want it going to.

We on the bottom are pooched either way

Exactly the reason I won't buy Scamsoil products, or any other pyramid marketing scheme companies.

And just what are these people investing it? Most of the time it is other companies or goods and services. If you are like most of us and have to work for a living someone pumping lots of money into the company you work for or buying what you make is a good thing. Also, speaking of investments how are they bad? Before you answer, look at your 401k or other retirement fund. Unless your retirement is funded through scratch-off tickets from the gas station you're also an investor.

I've always liked the way the new Tundras look -- not sure what it is about the styling that rubs folks around here the wrong way?

All of the Toyota trucks down here have a sticker in the rear window that reads, "Built In Texas By Texans" in an obvious attempt to combat the foreign manufacturer perception. I wonder if they use a different sticker with a similar message on the trucks they ship somewhere other than Texas?

Maybe you missed this, think it pretty much sums it up.

Because its a Toyota and this is a Ford website. If it had a Ford logo on it I am sure opinions would be different. But because its "jap crap" its the worst looking truck in the history of all mankind
