I ALWAYS bought American trucks early on but there were always major expensive problems within the first year or right after the warranties were up. Plus, they had alot of road noise and the fit and finish were never as good as what I paid for.
I bought my first Toyota truck after seeing all my friends drive theirs 100-200K miles with very little maint or problems. My Tundra was assembled in San Antonio. That’s good enough for me.
Please.
I don’t know what “early on” means to you. For decades GM trucks have been industry-leading in quality and comfort. For decades foreign trucks were pretty crappy and didn’t measure. Those are proven facts, with sales figures to boot. The current numbers are driven by the same kind of media hysteria that has whipped people into turning on their once-precious Toyotas.
Go ahead and send your money and your neighbors’ jobs overseas. But don’t pretend it’s the domestic automakers’ fault.
