So I reply" OK...so If i buy a entertainment center from Target that says Made in Chine,but I assemble it in my living room,does that make it Made in America?"

They timed when the doors close in reference to the acceleration of the truck and the distance the truck has to stop at the end of the road going off the cliff at THAT point. The Toyota Tundra commercial basically proves that someone took a high school physics class, nothing more. You could do that same thing with a ******* Yugo, which would be hilarious.

You are the second person that I've heard from that the new Tundra engine is costing near $20K for a replacement.

I got the new issue of Car and Driver and the new Toyota comes in 3rd, then the Nissan and 1st is the Silverado.
I guess GM stepped up because C&D usually loves imports over domestics

. Don't see too many Toyota's hauling boats or trailers because they are POS. They are good for the guys who want a badass Chevy truck but can't afford one, but still wanna pretend to be a badass.

Yeah you might be right, just by cruising around both companies websites I built my own Tundra and Silverado. Only way I was able to make the Silverado more expensive was by going to the turbodiesel option. Makes the Silverado more expensive but a far superior rig!
