guess he's saying that because of the optional Diesel motors that will be available in them.

Aren't you a mechanic or something?
Or am I thinking of someone else?

I wouldn't give you a cup of squirrel piss for a GM 1/4 ton diesel truck. What's the point?

I own a transmission shop. If everybody drove Toyota I'd have to start selling tires or something.

2008 Tacoma, double cab, TRD OR with the towing package. Too easy to work on and do everything myself. Wouldn't have a POS Colorado or the like.
Great thread

Damn near all Toyota trucks, vans & SUVs I've seen overseas are diesel. Not sure why they don't use them here.

my 2007 tundra crewmax limited has 107k miles and other than oil changes, I've had to do 0 work on it.

they've been talking about a dualie tundra since the remodel in 2007, but still nothing.

Meaux, I got a 2000 Chevy Silverado that need some maintenance work on it. You got a contact email or phone number? I'm looking for a mechanic (other than the dealership).
ETA: Needs 100K mile tune up and such.

Actually their long model life cycles make them appear dated and thus less appealing. I think the Corolla from 2013 was the same basic body style that they sold 12 years ago. Their enhancements to the 4Runner look terrible, and their least hideous models are older, bland designs.
There's actually not a single Toyota now whose styling appeals to me except for the Land Cruiser, which itself is kind of bland. I like the Tacoma but I am not paying $30,000 for a 10+ year old design...especially when there's a brand new Tundra in the same showroom and new mid sized trucks out from GM.
Looking at the Lexus lineup on their website......why on earth did they think those hideous hour glass grills make them look more attractive? I know the LS is a fantastic vehicle, but they ruined it with that speed racer looking styling.
I think Toyota's design-by committee methods are definitely a weak point of the company.

Well, my purchase decision is to provide safe, reliable, cost effective transportation for me and my family in a manner in which we have become accustomed. Some Toyotas fill that need, regardless of body style.
