The "average" chevy, ford, ram owner probably puts half the milage/year on it (for personal use) than i do on my tundra (for work use). So that $700/year i'm paying more for in gas is more like $300-400 more for the average driver. So it's not inconceivable to think that over 8 years of owning/ driving the tundra maintenance free, that i'm at least breaking even with maintenance costs on other vehicles
You're not getting it. I'm telling you that I don't spend $700/year on repairs and maintenance on my Silverado.
And yes I put at least 20,000 miles per year on my truck.
It is as maintenance free as your Tundra. I promise you that.
That statement trying to justify spending an extra $700/year on gas is dumb. You could just say that you're a Toyota guy. Or you like the way that they look. But surely you're smart enough to know that other truck owners are not spending $700/year on repairs/maintenance.

I owned a chevy 3/4 ton 6.0 L before the tundra, a silverado 1500 before that, and was about as gung ho chevy as someone could be...in 2010 when i figured i would try something different by trying the tundra (based on my dad's lack of maintenance on his 2001 tundra as it exceeded 200k miles), i was well aware of what my maintenance costs were starting to run, especially after passing 100k on the odometers of the chevys. I was between buying another chevy and trying something different with the Tundra. I went with the Tundra and couldn't have been much happier with the choice. So if i'm a "Toyota guy" now...that's why. So if you're just a Chevy guy because you like the way the look (or for whatever reason), and can't follow/respect my reasoning for buying Toyota, just say so. Probably deserving of another board or thread, but Chevy/GM running their business into the ground and having to take taxpayer handouts/bailout is something else that didn't sit too well with me.
