Re: Which V8 fullsize truck best? Dependable?
Jeez!!<br /><br />All this anti-Toyota stuff is getting deep.<br /><br />My son-in-law's Tundra is rated for 7,000 pounds and tows his 3,000#+ package like it isn't there. Heinz asked about towing and transportation, not hauling plywood.<br /><br />As for 100% foreign owned. Bull. I am an owner of Toyota, just like thousands of other Americans. Corporate Management is in Japan, yes, but they answer to the stockholders.<br /><br />Unionization is determined by the employees who would be members, by vote. Closed shop is a feature of unions in some states, others have a right to work law which forbids a closed shop.<br /><br />If you want a Ford, Chevy, Dodge, etc. They are good trucks, particularly the Ford. Buy one. <br /><br />Let's leave the urban legends to the naive.

<br /><br />No urban legends being portrayed here. Actually, the US is not the largest market for Toyota. Worldwide, the USA is a smallish percentage of their market.<br /><br />Hey, I'm not a Toyata basher. I used to be a Service Manager in a Toyota dealership. They have their issues too. <br /><br />The fact is that consumers have a different mindset going into the ownership experience of a foreign vehicle, no matter what country of origin. The vast majority of foreign vehicle owners are willing to METICULOUSLY maintain that product. The same rule does not apply to what is perceived to be a domestic nameplate. <br /><br />Been there, know that!!
