I would also tend to support a truck made in America, rather than a truck made in Canada (GMC & Chevy) or Mexico (Ford).

Oh, Yeah you would like to do that, but than again the Toyota's are bolted together in whatever plant in Alabama/Tennessee/Carolinas? and after the bills are paid in the USofA all the profits are sent straight to Toyota's Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan>So much for new generation of domestic cars/trucks. At least the profits from the cars/trucks bolted in Canada or Mexico are flowing back to Detroit, not Tokyo, or Seoul!
