They're nice to ride in, good ride and great power. I work at the plant in SA in quality engineering. Some money may go outside of the country but fact of the matter is, Toyota is building and investing more money in the US than any of the "big 3." I know it's about the best thing to happen to San Antonio in a long time (brought in quite a few jobs and pay is very good). I hope this truck does well, and i cant wait to see where they take the tundra in the future

It looks nice, and refined, but as others have said the lines look too smooth. The Tacomas, ive always liked thoes over anything comparable from ford, chevy or dodge. For full sized, Its the dodge. Iono, maybe ill change my tune once I see it in person.

I think they definitely look better in person. When should you get your crewmax? I didn't think they had those for sale yet (definitely could be wrong). I thought they just released the reg cab and access cab and crew was coming out later on. I know they're building them, just didn't know you could pick one up yet.

Well congrats on the purchase man. I love the way these trucks ride from what i've experienced. You'll like the backseat in the crew too! Just about full recline!

You should definitely like it. It's a nice truck don't waste your money on a diesel unless you have deep pockets to fix it after the warranty is out or you are planning to work it hard.
