Did I mention Cafe somewhere?.....hmmmm
What's the matter guys??? Don't like FACTS or PICTURES?????
Thanks.
good luck on this one now!
I've hualed loads of firewood in it, all the wood I needed to build my patio cover and even a few palm trees (big ones).
There hasn't been one instance when I wished I bought a different truck.
relax, there is more than one other that deserves the denial quote.
Tundra owners expect better. Chev owners think that 4 months being repaired is normal. Like I have said many times before - Chev owners have LOW EXPECTATIONS!
Meredith never said any such thing. Good try though.
Red's modus operandi - when confronted with his personal attacks - just lie.
when i picked up my truck yesterday from the service department for it's routine maintanence, i started talking to the service foreman. asked how the tundras were holding up. since my dealership not only sells chevrolet,olds,cadillac, and toyota, they also service the makes they sell. he told me that the tundra has been no less a problem than the rados. only difference is that there is at least a 10-1 ratio of problems, except the tundras have shown more severe cases. latest being the spider joints that are coming unglued within around 45,000 miles. thank god you guys paid for that extended warranty up front or you'd be eaten some expensive parts on this one now.
good luck on this one now!
I went to www.tundraSolutions.com and did a search on spider joints. It seems that there has never been a single Tundra owner that has reported any failures of their spider joints.
I never paid for an extended warranty up front.
And the lies just keep on coming.
Just be careful driving that Chev of yours. Poor brakes (two NHTSA safety recalls) and crashworthiness are a bad combination. It's too bad you didn't buy a heavy duty 1/2 ton like the Tundra. Now your raging case of Tundra envy is showing through!
How does it feel to spend all that money on a new truck and have it spend so much time in the shop?
makes sense though, cause if ya could read, you wouldn't be driven a vehicle with spider joints that are gonna fail.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Bama, a wager...if I find Meredith's post, you banish yourself forever from Edmunds....well maybe you could show yourself as F2jules or something like that. Tell me yes and I'll have the post for you to read good buddy.
Unfortunately, the line today is rather gray in colr and changes like the skin tone of a chameleon. Bama, I assure you that Meredith did refer to Attention Deficit Disorder in his posts. If you don't believe me....I put the bet down....now it's your turn to call or fold em.
If such behavior was true (highly unbelievable) it does not make your personal attacks correct.
You and Red have zero credibility. Now put up or shutup.
Apparently, the Chevy lovers attempt at damage control through accusations, false claims and smoke&mirrors logic has only successfully fooled the fools.
-
i think that someone would report the whole family if they don't agree with him. LOL
So you are saying that all Tundra owners have ADD? Couldn't you Chev owners come up with a better insult? Why come to a Tundra topic and start calling Tundra owners names? Don't you think this is a little childish?
And why are you stepping up the personal attacks? Is this what happens when the Chev owners inhabiting a Tundra topic are exposed as liars?
Why are Chev owners insulting Tundra owners and posting bashes? Could it be that they have a huge case of Tundra envy?
If you want to brag about how HUGE your truck is (Chev owners are very insecure about size (must be trying to compensate for something) - why not do it in the Tundra vs. Big2 topic?
Let's see Meredith's mythical post. Like I said - put up or shut up.
Sales of Silversado were down last month compared to the same month last year. Toyota will sell another 100,000 trucks this year, just like last year.
"GM's strongest results in May came from full-size truck sales (pickups and utilities), which in total climbed 24 percent. With Silverado posting its best month since October 1978, GM's full-size pickup sales rose 17 percent, full-size utility sales rose 38 percent, and all eight individual GM brands in those segments posted double-digit sales gains. Notably, all GM full-size utilities posted double-digit May sales increases in excess of 20 percent."
"Toyota sales increased 28% over last year, led by their record setting Tundra. The Tundra had the strongest sales of any new Toyota vehicle to date, while domestic trucks lost ground for the second quarter in a row."

Lively debate is one thing. Even heated debate about a topic is OK for a bit... but we're getting into the name calling and insults far too often lately.
Put a little effort into it and AVOID it.

"Detroit will likely take more casualties. Toyota, Nissan, and Honda, the largest Japanese automakers, are building truck plants in Indiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, respectively. Analyst Gary Lapidus of Goldman Sachs says the additional supply and stronger competition could cut the Big Three's truck profits by more than half by 2004. That would be a huge blow. Light trucks account for all the money Detroit makes in the car business, according to Lapidus, and help absorb some of the losses from passenger cars. "The profit margin on trucks is going," says Charles Fine, a member of MIT's International Motor Vehicle Program. "If that was Detroit's last refuge, I'm not sure what's left."
"The real shock is why Detroit, having lost nearly half of the car business to foreign competitors--30% to Japan alone--wasn't better prepared to defend its light trucks. "This didn't happen overnight," says veteran industry consultant Jim Mateyka of A.T. Kearney. "It took the Japanese an awfully long time. Why haven't people noticed?"

"Detroit is retreating on almost every front. Consumer Reports' 2001 list of the best vehicles in ten categories did not include one U.S. car or truck--not a single one! In California, domestic brands accounted for just 46.1% of sales in the first three months of 2001, vs. 43.4% for the Japanese and Koreans. Toyota, with 17.1% of car and truck sales on the West Coast, only narrowly trails Ford's 17.6% and GM's 17.9%, according to a California sales report by J.D. Power & Associates. "
"Keeping up with Toyota, much less Honda, Hyundai, Mercedes, BMW, or VW, has long been a losing proposition for Detroit. In April the Big Three's U.S. market share fell to 64.2%, vs. 73.9% at the start of the current auto boom in 1993. Although most of the shrinkage has been at GM, whose share has dropped from 33.5% to 28%, Ford has also declined, from 25.6% to 21.9%. Chrysler is just half a point lower than in 1993 but two points below its 1998 peak."
