In your heart you know Jedi jksunkist1 is correct.
Only when Silverado you buy, delighted you will be.
The force is strong with Silverados.

Then you must be talking about the Tundra, as their engines are labeled as "I-Force."

belias:
 
I agree. The Tundra sales will increase in the future, if for no other reason that the population of the planet and the U.S will increase, thus providing more potential customers. That said, will it cut substantially into the Big 3 sales in the foreseeable future? Not if the current Tundra sales figures are any indication.
 
"Obtuse" tests? You mean such as the commonly-encountered teeter-totter "test"? Or the equally common giant-slamming- door-at-the-edge-of-the-Grand-Canyon "test"? Of course, we all know that pickup drivers face those kinds of real-world tests every day! Heck, I drive up several giant teeter-totters and through several giant slamming doors every day, and that's just on my way to the drive-through dairy to get a quart of milk.
 
On the other hand, we have NHTSA crash test, that no one ever experiences, where the Tundra placed...hmmmm, let's see...
 
...DEAD LAST.
 
So, belias, I guess we all agree with you. The Tundra really IS better than its rivals in tests that really matter. Tundra ads use absolutely no "obtuse tests", as you say, and the Tundra passes with flying colors the real-world government-conducted tests such as front-end impact.
 
Once again we are forced to acknowledge belias' superior logic and intellect.

Tundra is built for and by a hidden cloned Dark Side Imperial Force of the dismantled Galactic Empire. It is now learned that this cloned Imperial Force(I-Force) has set up shop in areas of the Virgo Supercluster, one shop unfortunately began in Earth's Japan in 1934. George Walton Lucas Jr. is making a movie which shows the importance of not giving power to the I-Forces Toyota, most notably the Toyota Tundra I-Force Ground Vehicle.
The 75' - 83' Toyota Hilux ground vehicles appeared to have gone astray from I-Force for good cause.

crash rating and the camshaft issue, it must take someone really special to go out and buy one today.
 
Fortunate for Toyota these individuals exist today....

"Special", indeed. As in "Special Olympics".

Dismal is a strong word.
 
See: http://www.iihs.org/ratings/rating.aspx?id=800
 
Not too shabby. Still waiting on the Silvy/Sierra to be tested or maybe I just couldn't find it on their site
 
The only thing I did find on the Silvy/Sierra was from the 99-06 ( & 07 Classic models) : http://www.iihs.org/ratings/rating.aspx?id=4
