Oh, a stupid truck? I'm not a fan of Toyota trucks either....say what you will, but there's a reason Toyota is 10 times the size of GM.

Company grew too fast, just wait and see. They're get their share of recalls!

"Toyota is viewed as the pinnacle of quality. That isn't something they established in the last year or two. They did that over 30 or 40 years, and it doesn't go away overnight."

Thats the truth right there. Regardless, they are still quality cars.

We're not talking about the Ford, GM or Chevy here, which have done nothing but build unreliable junk for the past 50 years. Toyotas are known to be the most bulletproof cars on the planet. In the Early 80's the US Government placed a tariff on any car who used Toyota's 22R engine because it was "too reliable", often surpassing 350,000 miles with no issues. What kind of bullshit is that?

I guess it's because Toyota made the domestics look like the true pieces of junk they are.
