If you want to talk about the durability and reliability of domestics compared to Toyota then come talk to me. I can tell you that my last Toyota was far superior to the domestic I owned previous to it. That's just one case, but my odomoter was not far from the numbers you said you wanted to see. I now have a new Tundra. Maybe it will be a great truck. Maybe not. Time will tell. If I do have a problem, I'll say so in this forum.

I think the point made earlier is that the new Tundra wasn't just a new vehicle for Toyota, but an entirely new manufacturing model, using U.S. parts on a scale never seen before, and in newly-built U.S. assembly plants. That again cannot be disputed. It's not that anyone wants to bash anything American. In fact, I have seen Toyota owners on this forum proudly hailing the fact that the new Tundra is as much an American truck as the next one.

Which is exactly why I DO NOT buy the first year of a "new" truck. Tundra was out a few years before I bought my 02. All "new model" vehicles have bugs in them and they have to work them out.
