From Tundra solutions: “The following photo was my Tundra towing one of our Powerstrokes to the Ford dealer for warranty work. Got plenty more photos of it today as it tickled me once I got it loaded and considered the whole situation. The look on the Ford dealer service-adivsor’s face was priceless.” ![http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t238/jliltd/TowJob2.jpg](http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t238/jliltd/TowJob2.jpg) ---

Any truck in the buffalo rust belt is going to rust. I have seen older toyota compact pickemups and they all have more cancer on them than domestic trucks of the same year. I dont know why there full size trucks would be any different unless they are undercoated or galvanized which I doubt. The germans should make a truck, they always galvanize and undercoat all there shit. I bet they could make a kickass truck that would piss on all the jap trucks. ---

Nice Truck!! BTW - For those of you who don’t know much of anything about the truck market… There isn’t a single 3/4 ton + import truck on the market worth a damn. WORK TRUCKS are not F150s, Tundras, Silverados… Dakotas… or any of that mini-truck crap. If it isn’t a 2500, 250, or come in Diesel… it isn’t a work truck. The new Tundra is one of the best trucks ever made. Does it tow like an F450? an F250? Nope, and never will. Another reason you see more of the domestic crap on the road is because of people (like those in this thread) that are Brand humpers, that will stay with a given brand no matter how shitty. Also, there are way more Fords in the resale market and at auction than any of the imports combined because there are millions of these things out there. If you sell 10 F150s for every Tacoma sold… doesn’t make the F150 a better truck, but it does however mean your going to see 1-x as many on the road. Toyota is picking up its share of the market though. As far as that pic goes, that Tundra is fucking ugly. I love them for what they are, but get some decent body lines. ---
