Its also clear that they want to drive a truck that rides like a car. Now I'd like to see them convinve the 100,000 + customers that test drove Fords, GM's and Dodges that ended up going with the Tundra instead that they made a bad decision, cmmon. Reliability rating is "EXPECTED" to be less than average...what the heck does that even mean, how do you expect anything?
I was really surpised and upset by this news because I think it holds a huge amount of weight, simply because this is a big turnaround in the ratings. Consumer Reports has historically given Toyota high quality ratings - and now the Camry V6 and the Tundra have taken a surprising turn for the worst.
