Besides, it'll snatch that puny-assed Toyota all over the place. 3500# towing limit? That's not a towing limit... it's a warning... to not try to tow anything! Give it up dude. Any Toyota truck will put ANY GM or Ford truck to shame. |

Engine manufacturing tolerances are quite a bit wider (polite term) than what Toyota considers acceptable. The American trucks, right out of the showroom, smell like 30 year old vehicles. Not smoke. "Other". If you need a really clear demo, focus on what Dodge/Chrysler mini-vans smell like when they're more than a couple of years old. By the way, my comment on manufacturing tolerances comes from a dubious source: A friend who works on site with car makers, setting up their CNC machinery. The level of precision is specified by each manufacturer, which blows off any comments like "CNC machinery is capable of amazing precision". Yeah - but the user of the machinery has other issues to address, like production speed. |

Any Toyota truck will put ANY GM or Ford truck to shame. Really... And just what do you base that little piece of data on? Don't you ever talk to anyone who's owned Toyotas, Tom? With rare exceptions, the vehicles simply do not have mickey mouse bull**** problems that make you wonder what the designers were thinking (if in fact they were). My '92 Taurus had a fusible link in the wire to the starter motor. Not unusual, except for one problem: It was located under the car, with no means of protection from the elements. One day, it simply crumbled. No ride to work that day. My Mercury wagon's stick shift was held onto the tranny by a threaded plastic collar. Great idea for a part that's 4" from the exhaust pipe. I downshifted from 3rd to 2nd approaching a traffic light, and the stick shift came out of the tranny. The collar had melted. Ford said they'd never heard of this before. Even better: The only way to fix the thing was to remove the gen-yoo-ine leather boot. That was attached to a frame which bolted to the body, not to the console. So, the carpet has to come out. That meant the seats had to come out. Bull****. By contrast, spend some time looking over a Toyota, imagining how you'd access various things for repair. They're brilliantly thought out. |
