My 2006 Tundra was recalled in 2007. The Toyota dealer notified me
and replaced the front ball joints. And then, sometimes the Toyota
dealer can be a pest, trying me to trade for a newer model. Geez, my
truck is barely broken in at 16,000 miles. Overall, it's a good
solid truck and hope to take it to well-over 100,000 miles.

I hope you out last the truck... At the rate you are going you will have it
25 years before you reach 100K.

At 6k a year, my Tundra oughta outlast me, too.



If at the
time I was truck shopping, if I did not cut a good deal, I was ready
to look at Ford 150s where there are more choices and high demand. I
think Ford makes a good truck, certainly better looking than a Tundra.

Ford certainly makes a good looking truck but IMHO they are spending more on
looks than dependability and that is probably the single reason why the
imports are starting to gain on the big truck market. I absolutely hated
the looks of the new 07 Tundras. I shopped Ford, GMC, Chevrolet and Toyota.
I have only owned GM trucks and was totally turned off by both GMC and
Chevrolet. The backs seats were to up right to be comfortable and the back
doors wiggled visibly on the highway. Our 97 Chevy was great but my wife
could not get comfortable in the 07 GM trucks. I had about decided to not
buy a new truck but went ahead and test drove the Tundra. I almost knew
before getting out of the lot for a test drive that I would probably but the
Tundra, it felt that much better. I wanted quality for a change, so far no
disappointment.

Dittoes on all the concepts and realizations you stated above, 'cept
I've never owned (and never will) a Chebby truck. insert Robatoy
Raspberry here for GM
