"Don't give me that. GM alone employs more Americans than all the riceburner companies combined."

Wow. That's irrelevant.

Chevy pickups are about 80% made in Mexico.

But, hey justify your support of the Democratic party via the UAW, anyway you want.

Me, I just but the best pickup for the jobs -- which are, alas, no longer Ford or Chevy --- and I've literally bought over a thousand Ford and Chevy P/Us over the last 10 years.

The Titans don't fall apart when abused by roughnecks.

That all I care about.

And that, in the end, *is* the ultimate question for trucks, isn't it?

Oh, quick question on those GM trucks if you can recall - how many of them had 5.3L V8s, and how many had engine failures? (Not making a point in context here, actually just a bit curious as to how the CSK issue played out in a fleet like yours.)

The Titan has actually been blamed for Nissan's low quality ratings lately....
2006 Nissan Titan Quality ratings
2006 Chevrolet Silverado Quality ratings
2006 Dodge Ram Quality ratings

And how about the fact that Consumer Reports labeled the Titan as one of the least reliable vehicles?

As much as I oppose unions, they are Americans and the company they work for is American and the corporate infrastructure is American.

I really love the part of the Charlie Daniels song, "In America" with the part about us fighting amongst ourselves and the Pittsburgh Steeler fan.
