At least Harley is building a better product these days, hopefully the '09 Ram will be a major improvement as well. BTW I own a '87 Dodge with almost 300K on it that is a great vehicle. It's a shame Mitsubishi had to build it in Japan for Dodge. (Raider/Montero).

Just because you mass produce a product doesn't make it good. Ohh by the way I do have an American job and I do own a Tundra. Never once would I have consider a dodge. I see too many vehicles of that logo alongside of the road. You also have the gumption that dodge makes the only first time version of a truck without any problems. If that was so then they wouldn't have ford, chevy or anyone else. Since that's not the case you need to wakeup from that nightmare you're having. When you do smell the B/S you're shoveling.

I don't race my truck. I just bought a 26' travel trailer and have not pulled it yet. I have a 2007 Tundra 5.7 reg cab 4X4. What I can tell you is I get 20mpg cruising at 65 with no trailer. If I run 75-80 I will get 15mpg. I am calculating this by hand which is more accurate than the computer. I am not interested in wasted conversation about other brands of trucks. I feel I made the right purchase for my needs. I do feel that Dodge, Ford and GM build good trucks. I also would like to add I have 15,000 miles on this Tundra with absolutely no problems. I have talked to owners of 5.4 Ford 4X4 and Dodge Hemis and from what I gather the fuel economy seems to be about the same. I say drive what makes you happy. Enough! I don’t race my truck.

With the Tundra in TC mode and the Ram with OD off, the Tundra usually wins by a couple of car lengths. With the TC off, and in Tow/Hual mode in the Tundra, it wins by about 80-100 ft. I love both trucks and both have served me very well- I just wanted to clear up some of the drag race "what if's" that I have seen here. Both trucks are extended cab, 4x4, 5.7L V-8's, with between 60K and 90K miles on them and completely stock....if either one of them were modded- who knows ???

Well.. I recently traded in my '06 Tacoma Pre-Runner Access Cab with the 236hp V6... And I'll tell you that I whooped V6 F-150's and also beat V8 F-250 duallys'. With the Pre-runner my 0-60 time was just at 7 seconds. I now have an 08 Tundra Doublecab SR5 with the 4.7L V8 with 271hp and I have no issues with this truck. It will tow up to 8100lbs and has a 0-60 time of 7.5 seconds, and thats without using the triptonic shifting. I haven't raced anyone yet, I just hit 747 miles. But after I get my dual exhaust kit, K&N aircharger, and when the supercharger comes out I'll be happy to race anyone. On another good note, I recently took a trip down to south east florida towing my boat. Averaging 17mpg doing 75 miles an hour while towing a 2300 pound boat is awesome in my book, and that was 100 miles each way. So props to Toyota for building a good truck, that fits my needs perfectly. I have no problems with Fords,Chevys', GMs' or Nissan...I just feel that toyota fits my needs better than the others. hmm.. racing huh? Well..

Now what does that do to your so called american made. When you have to mass produce parts for a truck that breaks down so much so the fools can afford it I guess that's why the suckers or dodge owners.

HA HA HA. I wonder who toyota s going to pay off to get out f the rust problem. I don't think the tail gate will rust, because it most likely fell off.
