Really? The "profits go back to Japan line is getting old" Better keep a close eye where your big 3 are investing their profits....its not here, except for Ford who took note of the pressure from the AMI.
Here are some facts about Toyota America.....stop being an uninformed redneck
Consider that Toyota’s direct investment in the U.S. so far totals $17.08 billion. Right now, as this is written, 36,632 people are directly employed by Toyota, and nearly 400,000 other people are employed in what are called "spin-off jobs" – jobs that were created as a result of spending generated by Toyota’s direct employees, dealers and suppliers.
We have pretty much been in a constant expansion mode in the U.S. for more than 20 years, with plants in California, Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Mississippi, West Virginia and Indiana, an elaborate proving ground in Arizona and a new technical center in Michigan.
Here’s my point: Our U.S. spending never stops.
For 2007, the last year for which numbers currently are available, we assembled 1.3 million vehicles in North America. And I’m not talking about production lines that assemble parts made offshore. Current domestic content for vehicles built in the U.S. and Canada averages about 68% and in some vehicles – our Sienna, for instance - it’s as high as 85%.
So money is spent here for parts and components that are bought from domestic suppliers. Those parts and components are used here to build vehicles that are sold here, and the people that build them are paid wages that they spend here and bank here.
And what of the profit? Some of it goes to shareholders as dividends. A lot of it is plowed back into the business to build plants and equipment, and to conduct the research and development that is so essential as we develop products like plug-in hybrids and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. Eventually these advanced technologies and products will come back in the form of new, improved vehicles.
Bottom line? Toyota continues to plow a significant chunk of the money it makes here back into the U.S. economy. And when our employees here spend what they earn, they spend it in their local economies. That’s good for us all. I just thought that you should know that.

Yes it is true. All profits from Toyota America are paid to Mr Toyota himself, who then gives the money to the Jap government to build bombs to take over the US. The profits from the big 3 are spread evenly to all hard working Americans. no matter what your job. If we don't buy more cars from the big 3 all our paychecks will go down.

Yeah the new Rams are amazing trucks overall. We really have enjoyed our 2010 and 2013, along with the many other previous ram trucks.
http://www.ramtrucks.com/en/#ram_3500
Right on the first page of the Rams Website states "Best in class max towing weight of 30,000lbs" "GCWR 37,600lbs"
The 2500 best in class towing 17,970lbs"
Most on here know that I would tow a 47 fountain with a properly equipped newer SRW 2500 or 3500 as long as the boat trailer was also top of the line, but no need to drag this thread on...............
Lets all just get a Tundra Medium Duty and enjoy supporting America!
