Tundra or American pickup (F-150/Ram/GeneralMotors)

[GoldPanther]

Hello forum!

This poll is beacuse it kinda bother me that Toyota wants to make the Tundra look like if it was American, I guy at work told me that Tundras are made in Texas, I dont know that for sure but to me it is still Japanese, I mean Tundras are good and I don't want to sound communist but the Toyota name in it kills me, if it had a Dodge decal on it I would love it.

Is there supposed to be a poll at the top?

 

[Yaj Yak]

you sound communist [MENTION=11263]GoldPanther[/MENTION] .

 

[Yaj Yak]

for the reasons of this thread though. the argument's of foreign/domestic cars to me is silly... more hondas were exported last year than imported. most fullsize gm's are probably made in canada or mexico anyways.

buy the best truck because it's the best truck...

Poll updated!

The Tundra is assembled in Texas. Does it get more American than that?

I LOVED my Tundra. The ONLY reason we had to get rid of it was child number 3 at home, 2 in car seats. It worked, but it just wasn't practical. My poor big girl always in the middle. Needed a third row. However, DON'T miss that gas mileage, but I guess the new ones have improved on it, but then again, it was a 5.7 V8. That bitch had power and WAS intimidating. Towed a lot. Bwahahaha, once I figured it out. Right TCG guys? (Inside joke from Cordova)

Will be interesting to see what the aluminum body does to the F-150's domestic parts content next year.

 

[RICH17]

This is a silly poll. I honestly doubt anyone on this page would look at a tundra over the the big 3

 

[MikeyLikesIt]

I would do a Tundra. I can get it supercharged just like the Tacoma and keep the factory warranty. I would have spend more on the Tundra than I did on the Tacoma with the Supercharger.

Chevy Bud, their trucks are The Best.... Never mind my not so stock engine blew at 44,000....Hahaha

What ya going to do when the cam breaks in half? Or the seat heaters light the truck on fire? Or the tailgate falls off?


The reason I'd still buy american is the fact that the money stays here

 

[SRT41320]

RAM... FTMFW and they are made in Detroit (unless you get a 2500 or larger - those are made in Mexico)

Why?

Not every post on the universe is going to be what you expect! This is why we're here for TO DISCUSS trucsk.

I've read tundras have an issue with frames rotting but they may have fixed that by now

 

[Ear Rak]

Tundras are junk.

Smog/air pumps go out frequently.

If you dont do the proper procedure when switching from 87 to e85, the computer will go haywire, default to safe mode and only way to fix is completely reflash the whole truck...not under warranty.

Brakes dont last as long as other available trucks.

Eats through steering racks.

Doesnt have as much power as comparable models.

Tows less than comparable models.

Its huge over all. Damn near as big as a 3/4 ton but has less ground clearance than a chevy.

Very common to have a seat frame break.

And im sure theres more i cant remember.

 

[Spivitz]

Ford Raptor.... Sexy

 

[Ear Rak]

Eco boost with raptor suspension and body parts.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Yes, that!
