That would be FORD, then.

Plus, you just can't get serious SIZE or POWER with non-American cars/trucks (I am dead serious about that). Power is important in a truck! These people don't understand BIG. That could be seen right away in the 1st "serious" Jap truck, T100. Couldn't bear to build a full-size cab to match the rest.

You probably say "super size me" every time you get fast food as well, whether you need it or not. Power is important in some trucks, but not all trucks. It all depends on what you intend to do with it. If your only going to use all that power a few times over the time you own it, your better off renting a commercial truck when you need it. Toyota took their time learning about how Americans use their trucks. The last model of the Tundra was for the truck owners that do haul stuff, but also drive their trucks to get where they are going. Having all that power to go back and forth to work everyday is a waste of money pumped into the gas tank. Also, what good is the extra power when the truck it's attached to becomes a rattle trap after 2 years? In another month or so, Toyota is coming out with the new Tundra. It's bigger and more powerful than the last, but don't worry, you will still be able to go to Ford, Chevy and Dodge and say "super size me", and get something that's bigger, just not as good.

the new 08 tundra will have a 370+ HP 5.7l v8 option....

if they ever build a 3/4 to 1-ton tundra with a turbo diesel... I might just go out and get one
