More to the point is that there is more leg room without as much bed space taken out. That says something about the quality of the design. Add 6 inches of cab room, take 3 out of the bed -- better design. |

Replying to: belias (Mar 02, 2007 6:18 pm) Air bags? Please!!! the GM's are just as good, show me how they aren't? And DON"T tell me 6 or 8 or 4000 is better than 4. Look at area and "Smartness". Drive/Brake controls? Please elaborate. With facts please. The GM's have the same technology. Crush Zones? Um, they all have these. Why are Toyotas better?

Replying to: belias (Mar 02, 2007 6:39 pm) Don't forget, the overall length is increased too. That makes big difference since people (like me) have limited garage space. |

Replying to: jreagan (Mar 02, 2007 6:35 pm) Point is it isn't a big deal, but I mentioned it because it was mentioned that 3 inches on the short-truck bed was mentioned. Point is if you get a crew cab, you're more concerned with interior space anyway. The fact that it has a 3" shorter bed is not too relevent. Now if it was on a long bed, then I would agree with you. But we're talking a crew cab model. So I mentioned the depth as well to make the point. Either way, the Tundra gets the extra 6" of interior room - BMW charges an extra $6K for 4.7" more room in the back seat of their 7 series... this is practically free.

Replying to: belias (Mar 02, 2007 5:57 pm) That is your opinion. My defintion of strength also includes robustness and durability. ie: How good is a pro athlete (football player or any other sport where strength is required) if he cannot play the entire game? The 6.0 GM has 6-bolt mains, how many does the Toy have? 2? maybe 4?

Replying to: jreagan (Mar 02, 2007 6:47 pm) Nobody claimed that YOUR particular vehicle isn't reliable. What you claimed earlier was that GM trucks were more reliable than Toyota. Well, I wanted to give you reputable sources that definitely show otherwise. I don't wish for you to have any problems at all with your truck, I hope your experience is a good one. But we as consumers can't just depend on one or two individual accounts -- they vary so much. We have to depend on cumulative information to get an idea of paterns or weaknesses in design. That is all. BTW, CR does not get any PR or money from advertising from anybody. As far as I know, neither does the DMV.
