Yeap, we were there!

They had about 50 trucks lined up along the track on display plus the ones the drivers were carried around the track in.

You would have thought that you were at a dealership with a two for one sale.

It just ain't right!

The Tundra created 4100 jobs in San Antonio alone. There is another plant in Indiana as well that created jobs. So you do the math. Next stupid question??? Go to Texas and call everyone on the line traitors for building a "Japanese" truck, and bring some friends too, so they can witness what happens when one messes with Texas.

PS:

It is fully an American truck designed by the same people who designed the 94 Dodge Ram along with people that used to work for Jeep and Ford. It was designed at the design centers in Ann Arbor and in Newport Beach. The engines are built in Alabama. Almost every single third party part is American made as well. If you're going to call something a POS, please explain, through your own extensive experiences, how you arrived to this judgement.

He's probably just refering to the core profit amount going back to their homeland. Some people (like me) just still think of Toyota as a foreign auto since they line thier pockets with American gold.
I agree and cannot dispute Toyota hires alot of workers and builds a fine product, but I still think of them as foreign.

As for the accident, the tractor trailers brakes look like what stopped that Toyota to me.

The workers in Texas are probably all Mexican. Wonder how many American's really work at that plant?

Well just thank you phucking unions for uping the costs for GM and making it near imposible to fire inept workers. They just finished with GM after a short strike and now they have Chyster in their sights. Go unions...yaaaa.......phuckers...their not needed any more.

Gm has already started assembling vehicles in China. Can you blame them?
