Honestly, what are you people thinking? Toyota's latest entry into the truck market and trying to be as American as Chevrolet has been a failure. Toyota never will have the same emotional investment in American's hearts or mind like Chevrolet has. I tend to drive more American cars. But honestly the Tundra is one seriously ugly and poor excuse for a truck. Yes it might be powerful and have a 6spd. automatic. But alas by the 2009 model year the Chevrolet/GMC trucks will have them too. If you want to talk about selection the Silverado has a configuration to fit you and your lifestyle/budget. The Silverado is a much more solid choice proven dependablity and excellent fuel economy with the AFM V8's. It even can run on E85, Toyota being so "green" can't offer that on there Tundra. Chevy offers two interiors and has won comparos at Motor Trend and Car and Driver. I think the MT Truck of the Year Award is enough for me. Any moron that actually reads this mag anymore and BELIEVES what they say is an idot. The bias here is so crazy. I stopped getting it in 1991! If you need to tow then get a Vortec Max Chevy or better yet get a 2500HD or 3500HD with a 6spd. automatic. Toyota is not serious enough to build a real HD truck, and can't. For some reason the cam-shaft snapping and the big face I am not finding the new Tundra a compelling choice. Before you buy one do you homework. Please realize that the Toyota should have a had a different axle along with the smaller 4.7L or the Chevy should have had a 6.0L. What is the point if your not comparing apples to apples? Oh that would be like comparing a BMW 328i to a Lincoln Town Car L and saying well the each have RWD! One if body on frame and other a uni-body. This makes me sick, the Tundra is hardly an Ameircan truck when the profits go to Japan. How fast we forget who bomb pearl harbor? Oh thats right we forgot...
This is sad that this world is coming to this. The even more depressing part is that the new GMT-900's are GREAT and lugit trucks, and for one to get screwed over like this is sickening. I think GM has done a good job, Toyota is also now fleeting vehicles to sell more. Watch what happens to Toyota resale value... What resale value. They should have been more like Honda focus on quality and not just cranking out Corolla's for Hertz or Avis. Oh well another thing that will help GM and other compaines later. They certainly will pay for there mistakes. It is clear Toyota is not the "green" brand they always claim to be! They can't have there cake and eat too.
