Toyota Tundra launch worse than expected

Oh yea !!!!!!!

The dummy head hit the steering wheel THRU the air bag!
Gee..........Only suffered "minor" head trauma !!!!!

And only broke its foot too !!!!!!!!!

Seems like 1 safe vehicle !

No doubt the NHTSA test results ARE correct .........

But the toyota zealots will put some kind of spin
on any negative result.

#39 of 45 Pretty good launch so far! by belias

Well, I gotta think that the Tundra is doing pretty well so far considering that the whole industry itself did pretty poorly. I imagine that sales will continue to increase and level off some where around late summer. Maybe 20K to 24K per month is where they will get eventually. Now that manufacturing is picking up and they're getting more 5.7l engines and the proper proportion of body styles produced, maybe they can start to keep up with demand.
Gas prices are digging into everyone's pockets though... it doesn't look like $4/gal is too far off...

Just for credentials... currently drive a 2006 Toyota Tacoma 2WD Crew cab. (No great shakes. Ho Hum, Gets the job done. When time comes to trade Toyota will still be my 4th choice)

I RV. I've logged about 5,000 Interstate miles (Il-TX, TX-FL-IL, Il-FL, IL-OH, IL-IA) since April and I like to do "windshield surveys" as I drive. Question is where are those "fantastic" 2007 Tundras? You don't see'em! My dealer has a dozen sitting on the lot so I know production is ongoing. In a typical day of 400 to 500 miles, I'll see M-A-Y-B-E 1! Some days ZERO. Drive around Decatur, IL, where my dealer is, and you might see 1!

Not long before 2008's come out.

It seems like they have more problems than just the Tundra, but recent monthly Tundra sales figures are not looking good for a truck that's supposed to be "changing it all."
