The simple fact is Toyota makes a superior product. My Toyota pickup has 300,000 + on it and is still running great. By the time my Ford reached 100,000 it needed a new engine and tranny

Nice to hear that ---- we're looking a a truck for our son, and are wavering between a Ford Ranger and a Toyota...

Same with my GMC pickup - flip-off from GM after it burned through 4 transmissions and three clutches and got permanent, unfixable vapor lock, and 3 water pumps and numerous other junk after only 130,000 miles. Toyota produces quality product and stands behind it.

If you go to the Toyota website and register your car or truck Toyota will send you freebies as your vehicle racks up the miles. I have over 400k on my 1994 Toyota 4X4 pickup, V6, and I still am running the original brakes, exhaust system, everything. The only thing I do is change oil every 3k, put in new plugs every 72k miles, new tires every 70k and a little gas here and there. I have yet to own a vehicle, other than Toyota, that could ever run like this.

That used to be the American way - until the UAW became just another corrupt, money-grubbing front for organized crime.

I don't see why so many around here have such a huge problem with good, old-fashioned capitalism: make a good product at a competitive price, with enough value added to convince the consumer that yours is worth the extra money, then let the consumer decide.

The ones making these cars and trucks (my Tacoma was actually made in California), and the ones profitting from the sale of same are the ones who were LIBERATED during WWII.
