Compare your measly 43k to the domestic truck purchases. Your Tundra sales compares to a single ant among a colony. Very insignificant in number comparison, and for a good reason.
He likes the Tundra for its styling (his bad taste), but was disappointed in it's truck-like features.
Kinda blows the Tundras towing tests against the even bigger V8 competitors. Sounds like the ratings have been a little "over" rated.
Also, I liked the F-150 supercrew when I looked at it at the dealers. The only thing I didn't like was the top of the truck (cab part) seemed to long making the back of the cab look boxy.
I give it much more respect than the Tundra. It least the Tacoma is very close in truck and cost. The Tundra is way off course in the amount of truck and in the cost. At least when you place it in the Full truck catagory. Compare it to the smaller mid size Dakota and I would say it compares about the same.
For instance you pay thousands more for a Lexus ES300 than a Toyota Camry. Or an Infinit I30 versus a Maxima... but they are pretty similar.
Anyway, DID Toyota fix the head gasket problem with the Tacoma, or is it still an issue?
Also, I hate to ask you a question because you are so bias - but I remember you saying you had Tacoma's also, what problems did you have that left you stranded?? (HONESTLY)
"In Greek mythology, there are two versions of the story of Pandora's Box. In one, the box is a jar containing all kinds of misery and evil. When Pandora opens it all the miseries and evils escape and fly all over the earth. In the other, the box contains all kinds of blessings which were subsequently lost to humans when she opened the box."... from www.cybercomm.net
What is the deal with the hidden responses. How do you do this? Just curious.
By the way, I have said it once and I will say it again, Consumer Reports is full of [non-permissible content removed]. They are always biased in every so called "consumer rated" vehicle report.
If you havn't caught on yet also, they always rate the new model vehicles high every time, anything else gets poor ratings. Hmmmmmm.
Maybe you have been the geek that wears shorts that crawls up your [non-permissible content removed], and probably a pocket protector and some of those fancy horned rimmed glasses too, but I havn't had that problem so I can't say I can understand your comparison.
I long left my mommy and daddy when I went off to the Marines at 17 years of age. Fought in my first war at not quite 18 years of age. Was married at 19. Had my first child at 21. My boy is now probably the same age as you, or at least so it seems by your post. He is 10.....)
Take a hike chump. Come back when you have a full deck of cards and your shorts pulled out of your [non-permissible content removed]!
I'm off to a good site without the cry baby / "Deliverance" crowd. After all when I grew up I gave up childish things. If anything, you not-so-big 3 are just making us stronger. . .keep it up, after all look at what we are comparing ourselves to!
Too bad about the snow. My inlaws live in Tuscon. They love the warm Summer weather, hate the monsoon season and no snow during the so called Winter. I am surprised you bought a 4X4 for where you live. Do you make it to the foothills or mountains frequently?

"I just drove my buddies new Mercedes and my truck rides nicer than his Benz! What did you sell me?"
He loves the truck and still can't get over just how nice it is on the highway. When you go for a test drive, make sure to get it onto some open road where you can cruise at 70 MPH. Getting to that speed will be fun but once you are there, you will not believe how quite and smooth it is.
Just letting you know I'll be watching you, so mind yourself.
The T100 got a little over 13 when towing a 3000 pound boat. I haven't had a chance to see what the Tundra does while towing and I sold that boat. The new one weighs closer to 4000 so I wont have a one to one comparison.
The results were:
Rock walk - Dodge
Downhill descent-Chevy
Hill twist- 4 way tie
hillclimb - tie Chevy and Toy
Interior - Chevy
On road - Toyota (even though "From a pure numbers standpoint the Silverado leads the day")
I think they were a little biased, they just picked the Tundra for truck of the year so they had to go with the Tundra.
They see only what they want to see.
Most of them don't have a clue about how their truck works or why they claim this false superiority. They bought their truck to keep up with the Jones next door. Even if what they say is true, a Yugo can carry groceries, which is all they use their trucks for anyway. Could have saved 15k and bought a Focus wagon!
To all, The flying season is here and the urge to commit aviation is strong. I'll check back in the fall. Bye
