Replying to: 1offroader (Oct 08, 2007 5:41 pm) You're not debating the trucks... your problem is with the person giving their opinion. And as I've pointed out many times, that's not what these forums are for. A salesman's opinion is just as valid as anyone else's here. Again... stop making this personal. kcram - Pickups Host

The desperation doesn't lie on that side of town. But the sales records do! Oh, there is no joy in Detroit. No, there is not. DrFill Replies to this message: anythingbuttoy (Oct 09, 2007 2:55 pm) kdhspyder (Oct 10, 2007 3:02 pm) drfill (Oct 10, 2007 3:59 pm) and 2 more...

Replying to: drfill (Oct 09, 2007 1:53 pm) Oh, how profound you are Doc, So, tell me doc, in detail....Why should someone choose a Tundra over a GMT900, please back up your reasons. Maybe this will get this back on topic. Let's talk about the trucks, not Toyota's sales records. I don't care about how many Camry's or Prius's or even about the measly 144K Tundra's sold this year. Pretend I am a customer that just walked into your showroom and am looking at the Tundra (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit just typing that). Tell me why I should buy it. Fair enough?

#298 of 333 Like you'd wise up? by drfill Oct 09, 2007 (3:36 pm)
I don't think so. If you want a test drive, or a walkaround, head over to your Toyota dealer! And form an orderly line (no cuts). I know your game, it's old....and lame.

Replying to: drfill (Oct 09, 2007 3:36 pm) Afraid of a good, clean debate? Maybe you are wiser than I thought!!! I just wanted to get back on topic and debate the trucks, but I guess you'd rather stick to your profound little riddles.
#300 of 333 1/2 ton REG Cab 2WD short bed by gasman1 Oct 09, 2007 (4:12 pm)
I'm considering a 2008 1/2 ton regular cab 2WD short bed pickup. It's been real tough to find a decent review of this type truck. Most reviews are in the extended or crew cabs with 4WD. I've been to Edmunds, KBB, Intellichoice, MSN, and the manufacturer sites. Where can I find objective reviews of this truck type? I've either owned or regularly drove company Ford, GM, and Toyota pickups. No experience with Dodge or Nissan pickups. I won't tow anything or haul heavy loads. I'd like decent MPG, comfort, power, reliability, and resale value.

Replying to: 1offroader (Oct 08, 2007 5:41 pm) Ridiculous? Really? Why? Would you like your stockbroker working for the company whose stock he is touting? How about your doctor prescribing you meds you may not need, while he's getting a big fat check from the pharma company? How about your lawyer working both sides of a lawsuit, without telling you? Is that OK too? OF COURSE we have biases, that's fine, and it's what makes the posts interesting and informative. But when someone is BEING PAID by the company whose product he/she is promoting, that's a whole different ballgame IMO. It's an entirely different dimension. It's so important, in fact, that there are LAWS against it in almost all areas of the economy. It's called "conflict of interest" and it's against the law in most areas of business. You seem to think it's OK, but it's not OK with me, and I will question anyone's opinion who may who may be motivated by money. Geeeez, dude. You are really taking this seriously. We're not talking about insider trading here - let's stick with reality. Why should I care if someone sells Toyotas or Fords or whatever? It doesn't put them in any better position than you or I to win a debate about whose truck is best if we are being objective. What is your motivation for saying so many negative things about the Tundra? No one is inferring that you or anyone else stand to profit from your posts. To take the position that everyone must take some lame oath that they are not a car salesman or in a position to profit from the success of a car company is completely ridiculous and totally disconnected with reality. I really don't care if you own stock in GM or if you sell GM's for a living. In the end, the reality is that the products speak for themselves.
