I owned a 1981 4x4 pickup for 15 years (that's right, 15 years) and now I drive a 1997 Tacoma 4x4, and I can say the trucks Toyota manufacturers are very good. No major complaints. As a result, I do plan on buying a new Tundra soon.

love the Tacoma and Tundra to death equally... It's bugging me so much which one to get. So i buy both, Anyway you're very right Richard Toyota manufacturers are good and even always give their newest [url=http://blogs.iloha.net/toyotaparts/]Toyota news[/url] and update

They last forever. Tundra have a great track record for reliability,horsepower,ford parts information,more spaces.Like most of today's half-ton trucks, the Tundra provides a smooth and quiet highway ride, although trucks with the off-road package tend to feel choppy over rain-grooved expressway pavement.

Actually, I think the glory days of Toyota is coming to an end. GM and Ford were not really competing, for at least the last 20 years, but that has changed. Toyota has been given much more credit than what they really deserve and the news media should know this. GM and Ford will bury Toyota with new technologies and today, that has actually started happening. If only they can hold out financially until 2010. For example, take the two mode transmission from GM, it is superior in technology compared to what is used in the Prius, although not many people know this yet, because of it's high cost. It's just a matter of time, before this trans will filter in all of GM's vehicles. The Chevy Volt is another high tech product that Toyota will be behind with. Do a Google search and you'll find GM has lots of other high tech products which are coming out soon. The Chevy Cruze is another. The Cruze will be a non hybrid vehicle with a 4 cylinder engine that will get an EPA rating of 45 MPG. This will match the Prius hybrid and consider that the Cruze is not even a hybrid. If GM were to make it a hybrid, which I think they will, the gas mileage would even be much higher than 45 MPG.
GM also has a better warranty than Toyota. Getting to the Tundra, I don't know why anyone would buy a truck that has had so many problems. Ford and GM makes a much better truck! Again, Toyota goes for a free ride but in time that will change.

This is old inaccurate from 2008. Why do you keep reprinting it.

The Tundra has proven to be a failure both in sales and in the eyes of the public , and the poor sales that it did get was not at the expense of Ford, GM or Chrysler. There has been so many problems with this model that a complete redesign is in order , but that will probably not happen now that the public has a better view of Toyota trying to cover up their problems . The Tundra has had problems with its engines , frames, tailgates, suspension , 4wd systems, paint, fit and finish and safety issues.

Tundra sells are up 79%! someone must like them!

What a load of crapola.

The real truck people already know what a joke the Tundra is. Heck if it isn't blowing motors, transmissions, driveshafts falling off or tailgates bending, Toyota is all but paying people to drive it off the lot.

The Tundra is known for a frame made out of pipe cleaners and is consistently rated the worst in class.

The guy that wrote this nonsense better go back to the jerks at Toyota for more lessons in how to lie.

You can expect posting like the above when Detroit's lock on the pickup market gets shattered.
Luckily the other manufacturers take the challenge seriously, unlike the kool aide drinkers who think no one will ever buy a Toyota truck.

Toyota's market share has nowhere to go but up... they just jumped in, so compared with zero of course their market share will increase if they sell even one! And of course the pie is being cut in smaller pieces, so market share will drop for the others. I have to agree as a truck person that Tundras are junk (except maybe for light-duty applications?), but people will buy them to try them regardless... let the market stabilize and see if Toyota still feels it's worth the investment.

Damn Tony, you love that KoolAid comment and have hammered so may times on it you are trying to steal it.

Face it bro.

Even you can't defend the Tundra. Try to deny it didn't meet sales projections. it was close but heck a first year model with up to 8k on the seat, that sucks. And even Consumers Reports won't telll people to buy it.

Now tell us what's wrong with any of that or the other big problems that Toyota has had with the Tundra.

And we all know you won't. Because all those problems are real.

Sucks to be you don't it?

It is easy to post a 79% increase when your previous pickup truck offerings were not even in the same class as large pickups from the domestic brands. The real questions should be, can the Tundra meet it's annual sales forecast next year after failing this year? And can Toyota sustain momentum in this highly competitive segment without commercial-user friendly Diesel and cab and chassis configurations?
