It's more a red state blue state thingy. Real Americans live in red
states, buy GM or Ford, and support their country. Them leftists living
in blue states allowed to drive make payments on foreign tinkle toys.
Bottom line...the Looney Left does not support their country or
traditional American values. They weaken American at every turn.

I guess I'm just confused: I own a Ford Truck made in UhMurkuh and a
Toyota made god knows where and a Sea Ray again made in UhMurkuh.

In 200,000 miles I've had fewer problems with the Toyota than I've had
with my truck in 50,000 miles.

I wouldn't trade my truck for anything, except another truck, but damn I
wish my Ford had fewer problems.

I buy American when I can, but not to the extent of buying a lesser
product just to prove I'm red white and blue through and through.

My heart goes out to anyone that loses a job. And there's no politics in
that.


I've got 70,000+ miles on a 2001 F150 SuperCrew with the 5.4L V8 and I have
had zero problems. I just get the oil changed every 5 to 10 thousand miles
and I've replaced the tires once.

We real Americans must carry the freight for hoards of leftist
freeloaders clinging to the teats of this great society.

...and just how do you accomplish that with your Wal-Mart greeter job?

70k miles is nothing. Also, I know there are exceptions to the rule, so
to speak. But, if you'll go somewhere like kelly blue book, or J.D.
Powers, etc. and look at owner satisfaction numbers, repair frequency
numbers, etc., you'll find that in most catagories, Japanese cars fair
much better than U.S. built vehicles.

Care to point me to a Japanese vechicle rated to tow a 15,000 lb fifth wheel
and I'll consider it.

I say the amount of money you will spend on fuel towing a 15,000 lbs fifth
wheel, you are better off sleeping in a fancy hotel.

That's a comment you really love. But, it's pointless because you're using a
rarely purchased specialty vehicle* as an example. It may as well be a
Caterpillar payloader.


* Don't even comment on the statistical meaning of this. Just don't.

I won't, other than to point out that RV'ing has had a dramatic growth curve
in the past few years and the market for products continues to be healthy.
I am willing to bet that Toyota or some other Japanese company will, within
a couple of years, introduce a truck that can compete with Ford's 250/350
series or GM and Dodge's 2500/3500 lines.

What is dangerous is seeing people trying to tow a 30 foot travel trailer
and all their gear with a Tundra.

Oh boy. At least some state campgrounds are kind enough to segregate these
monstrosities, far from the tent areas, so we don't need to listen to the
damned generators that are cranked up at 7:01 AM when quiet hours end.

That used to burn my ass in some California state parks, they'd give me
a tent site right in the middle of those land yachts with their
generators running constantly.
