So much for the Tundra being a full size - sales people can't even tell the difference.

Accord coupe is better)"
What's wrong....doesn't chevy make any quality cars? Wouldn't you rather have a real car like a vega or citation....made buy GM. Quit chasin' them fad cars like the Accord and Camry. Their quality be a big myth now!!!;)

Comparing GM quality and Toyota quality IS like night and day
"right now my rear seat when someone rides back
there bangs against the window and GM hasnt got a
clue what to do..they told me it was a design flaw
so until they redesign the back seat there will
always be a bang against the window..."
This sounds like a real safety issue. How flimsy is this seat? How would it fair in a crash? Now, along with it's marginal brakes, potential for sudden uncontrolled steering loss and flexing cab, the Silverado has a faulty rear-seat! Normally, I'd give chevy owners some grief about quality....but these problems too serious to make light of.
Look at Chrysler - just before the bailout - their quality was horrendous (some would argue that it still is). Chevy ranks 26th as a manufacturer in initial quality. Down there with the Hyundais.
Toyota is having one of their best years ever. People when given a chance will choose quality. Now they have a choice in full size pickups.
GM is notorious for trying their new designs out on the unsuspecting truck buyer. The '99 Silverado is already ranked as a used vehicle to avoid. 4WD versions are even less reliable.(If that is possible)
Why is Ford tromping Chevy in sales? Because Ford is a better quality truck. The cream rises to the top. Now Ford has been one-upped by Toyota.
Truck buyers in the past were stuck with abyssmal quality(Chevy). Now they have a choice. It will be interesting to see what happens to Chevy sales this next year.
but damn the real numbers sure are night and day eh?....How DO toys get so low of sales numbers?
babble on....you make good entertainment...

Once inside, the rear seat is tight on knee room, rear seaters get to face forward. This mostly full-size stretch cab yields about as much knee room as the Nissan Frontier crew cab, with four full-size doors but a smaller truck. Sitting in the back seat with the front seat adjusted for 5'11" me, there is essentially no room between knees and front seat.
Front seats are slightly contoured, although they don't provide much lower back support. If you like mysteries, try the Tundra's steering wheel. It is vinyl and slippery; okay, we've seen that before. But it also has six screw holes in the back, where your fingers go, so when that wheel is passing quickly through your hands, it catches your palm or your gloves. That is not logical, Captain.
This be my favorite tell on em here:
The Tundra looks bigger than it is. Without anything around to compare it to, it looks like a full-size truck.
These aint my tells, so ya tundra folk dont be gettin all huffy at me now. Facts is facts. Go pick ya out a nice yellow one down at that lemon grove now. Good luck on this one now!
An almost full-size truck, the Tundra carries a full-size load of contradictions. For now, the Tundra is confused. Is it a truck or a car, a working vehicle or a play vehicle? In some ways Toyota's Tundra is not a truck for the better; in some ways, it is not a truck at all. Price can be a concern with the Tundra. So, too, can character. But at base, we come back to the question: Is it even full size?
Good luck on this one now!
They call that one the HD for sure. If ya fad chasin, ya may not be gettin this one, but them the works em knows what this one means. Good luck on this one!
Oh RWELL remember that guy i said that has that tundra that never leaves the garage??? Guess what i seen yesterday amazed the heck outta me. It was in the driveway with a small bass boat hooked up to it. Must have went camping there was a bunch of stuff in the front yard.
Oh and the backseat comment - I have heard no complaints from anyone about this. The tundra should be listed as a regular cab. The space behind my seat in old S-10 (reg cab) had more room to put stuff

I sure do hope this kind of ranting stays here. It be sad to find out if some of us folks here actually spit and rant and rave in real life when they see a truck on the road that's different from they are driving.
Similarly, your "folksy" regional dialect purporting to be that of an undereducated, crass and crude "farmer" (met any real farmers lately?) has perfectly spelled regionalisms, clearly typed and carefully formed. Your roughness is too smooth to be believed.
Also, since I have no interest in such cutesy deceptiveness, I have taken to skipping over your posts entirely (nothing useful there anyway). I'm certain you won't care much to find that out.
Even so, I did want to take a few minutes to tell you that I think you are wasting your writing talent, your intelligence, your (and other peoples') time, as well as a goodly number of bits and bytes with these postings. I encourage you to look around to find something more suitably productive with which to occupy your time. I know you have the intelligence, ability, talent and time to do much better than this....
The rest of us drop in a quarter, turn a crank on
the music box, and feed peanuts to the primates, all in the name of good, wholesome entertainment. Bama and Rwell have been providing us plenty, lately.
*applause*
*raucous (i'm sure bama will verify my spelling and proper usage on this one!) laughter*

funny, the edmunds folks found that the only advantage toyota had over chevy was the braking distance, which pretty much makes sense. lighter vehicles will stop shorter (generally speaking) and so tundra did. but not by much.
the rest of your post...worthless heresay.
keep tryin'...maybe we should call you "the little engine that couldn't..." LOL!

Facts is facts. Go pick ya a lemon at that grove now! Good luck on this one now!
Hmmm so 2000 tundras will soon be on the used vehicles to avoid also.
Toyota also has problems and not immune from them when will you realize this???

oh, i was the DD this weekend for college football on saturday and we hit a local sports bar. buddy of mine that i work with has a '99 F150 that he bought last october (clearance as the 00's were arriving). after riding in my 'rado, he mentioned how he was having second thoughts about purchasing a ford. i asked him if he'd considered tundra when he was shopping and he laughed out loud before asking me if i was serious.
