Hope they don't tow too far with no bow stop.... Straps.... And a Toyota... Great idea... Haha

I will always tow with a super duty Ford.... Toyota will never have the long term hard use durabity... No way

Insurance company would deny a claim real easy with a 10,000 lb tow rating and a 38 ft boat... Be careful... I would at least have a 3/4 ton....

Toyota USA is a USA corporation based in California, the are currently providing 37000 jobs right here in the USA.


The auto world is a global industry. Our good old American car companies have moved jobs an factories over seas or other places in north "America". Toyota, Hyundai, Mercedes, BMW, even Kia have all RECENTLY built plants HERE, and made jobs HERE.

Now you will counter that it is our fault for not buying American, and I will counter with how the American companies got greedy and forgot to add quality to there "name" therefore they lost customers to "jap" companies. BTW the jap and euro cars now cost more, and still outsell.


I am an American, I work for an American Petroleum company, but our auto industry is sad and they should be ashamed of themselves. Now we just have good ole boy's pointing the finger saying jap scrap and pearl harbor....Times have changed, maybe not on this site but inn reality they have changed.


My tundra 5.7 crew with the tow max package pulls my 38 just fine. Just put the first set of tires on it at 66,000 miles. That is the first and only thing it has needed. I did notice the brakes are half worn. My friend noticed the brakes are larger than his 2007 3500 Chevy diesel. He also noted that there was no rust anywhere, and the rear diff was larger than most 3/4 tons. I'm done buying junk cause it is "American" junk

My check list was even signed by a guy name John Williams at the factory in Texas....doesn't get more American than that

My insurance would not deny a claim, that is hear say as far as I am concerned, we have never seen proof of this.

Plus with my tow max package, and 4.30 gears I am rated for 11,700... I'm ok.


On another note me and the locals are looking to make a trip to west Erie this summer. Do a little Cedar, Put in bay and the casino. We are thinking July are August, any big parties those months?

Wow. Takes an impressive set of nads to post that. But I agree 100%!!! Personally I refuse to support the UAW among the other reasons why I will not buy new from the big three.
