Why drive a rice-burner P/U when you can drive one of these! :-]
Good. I hate Japanese cars.
Great story in 'Fast Times' (December, 2006) about quality philosophy at Toyota, and specifically the Georgetown, KY plant. It paints a picture of a relentless search for continuous quality improvement, as almost a cult like religion. It didn't convince me. I found it impossible to believe that every day Toyota workers are so inspired, just didn't seem in parallel with human nature.
Should read:
Six injuries, 11 accidents, and 17 lawsuits were reported as a result of the defect, Japan's top automaker said Friday.
Love my 2004 Tundra Limited!
This will offend the riceburner religion. You should know by not that the Jap car worshippers can't stand when anything negative insults there stinking vehicles.
I guess all these Toyota worshippers haven't heard about the oil circulation problems on the v6 engines between 1997 and 2002. My friend's automotive shop has replaced many of these engines for his customers.
I'm ashamed that my 95 Tahoe has been a reliable vehicle...I knew that I should have bought a Toyota
I've been recalled once for a rear taillight assembly where the bulbs dropped out because of a poor design of the little plastic wedge that locks them into place. Seems that Toyota didn't recognize the problem in most Tundras until people like me took them offroad where the bumps knocked the bulbs out. Almost as soon as the problem happened on my Tundra, I got the recall notice.
Only downside to my Tundra is that the quality of Japanese paint isn't the best.
I sure would like to see Toyota put a Cummings turbo diesel in the Tundra along with a heavy duty manual transmission.
How 'bout that Japanese QC.
OUCH!
