I don't really think anybody is trying to say Toyota is crap but that there is no reason you should be totally against American made TRUCKS. It's all a matter of personal opinion and which truck you like better for yourself.

Who ever said Toyota was crap? I didn't. The first person to use that word in this dialogue has been you. If anything it's been Toyota people denigrating the RAM.
 
If Toyota people are going to be so critical of other people's machinery, please be prepared to have Toyota's performance and record be fairly and critically examined. Toyota most certainly does not have a unblemished record with respect to recalls. Furthermore, recalls are only half the story. Our Avalon was not officially recalled until long after we had a severe sludge problem, which I might add, Toyota profusely refused to believe was anything other than our fault. We received the recall on our '99 last November.
 
How about sharing where the numbers you included in your last post came from. Some your numbers in the previous post don't make any sense.

Well . . . I like . . . no I love my Dodge and I wouldn't trade it in for any other truck. My family loves Toyota seeing as to how they're hispanic and that is all they like but I'm all American. I'm Getting a sticker for my truck that says: " My truck was made with tools not chopsticks" HA HA HA. J/K

How exactly does that works ? You are all American but your family is hispanic?They like toyota because they are hispanic? WOW,..That explains why you choose a Dodge Ram that gets recalls 8 times in one year,Yea! Good luck with your contraption, you will need it, Feel free to go to Forbes.com for proof,....my truck was made with tools not chopstick ? It probably made it through one year without all those recalls,

Since you're such a stickler for facts (but not so concerned about math or accuracy), that would be seven, not eight recalls. The suspension recall was against the aftermarket manufacturer of the pitman arm, not Dodge.
 
By the way, my company has over twenty RAM pickups (2003-2006) and not one of them has ever been recalled. Neither has my son's 2003.

Why do you get so offended when it comes to Toyota?

Tundra was designed and is built in the US by Americans.

But is still a Japanese company, so bye-bye profits, they go right back to the Land of the Rising Sun to support the Japanese economy.

I knew there was a reason behind the failing camshafts and trans. Built in the U.S. that would explain it...something like in the movie Gung Ho.

#50 of 333 Global Economy by bugchucker

You guys whine because the Tundra is built by Americans for a foreign company. Wake up, this is a global economy. There is a reason that the Tundra was awarded the most significant new vehicle for 2007 by Edmunds. Big 3 are left in the dust by this beast.
