Troll – Good idea on the commercial – I’ll pay, but only if you agree to drive one of the crash testers (I don’t care which one). Thanks for identifying yourself as a troll and saving everyone the hassle of getting mad, btw. No matter what anyone says, you’re not listening. Good work!

Great Idea for the safety that was brought up. Head on collision of a Tundra vs all of the big 3. Three head on collisions, that would be a commercial with some real world benefit for the consumers. Its on the line with the current toyota commercials. Cliffs, hammers and the crazy trailer sway. Oh by the way put it into a sway and see what happens, pulling slow with the fans is like driving across the plains, big deal. Show real trailer sway! Induce it your self and see if your truck can correct it. But the collision commercial idea, I should get paid for that. But wait a minute, bad idea. I forgot, whos the 4 star crash rating. Sorry I will sell it to the big three. Theres your SAFETY Mikey. If you so worried about safety buy a safe vehicle. Now change your story. -Troll

Jason, Long time listener, first time caller. I send my sincere apploigies, I thought it was standup hour. Im a upcoming act under the bridge. I under stand its a free country, and people need to lighten-up. The film and contruction crew had a sense of humor to ensure a Ford was in the Toyota making of the film. Point being if a truck is so good why wouldnt you supply them to the crew making the site, kinda a trial and error period of use them abuse them and get some feed back. One of the best ways R&D can get real world information. Mickey, 10,500 lbs Towing is on the line of entering the HD towing range. If towing within or at the max weight is a issue MAYBE you need to lower the capacity. You do understand one of the reason for the capacity limits is over the life of the vehicle it can sustane that limit for a long life of the vehicle. Oh if safety was a issue Mikey why would Toyota need videos done by stunt drivers with disclaimers. I guess using it for daily use is out of the question, stunt use only right (cliffs, huge hammers). So if safety is a issue clean up your own back yard, before concerning yourself with others. Jason think about the R&D, I think it would benefit your owners in the long run.

Troll – Thanks for commenting. I don’t see how Ford trucks being used in the commercials produced for the Tundra are a big deal considering that A) it’s a free country, and the contractors that work for Toyota are free to drive whatever they want; B) the Tundra isn’t available in an HD configuration. If you need a truck that can haul more than the half-ton Tundra, you have to buy one from the Big 3. If it’s any consolation, I would recommend the F-Series SuperDuty any day of the week. As for your points about the Tundra’s score on Consumer Guide’s website (which is ConsumerGuideAuto.HowStuffWorks.com), what are you talking about? Their buying guide for 2009 pickups says “There are no clear winners here, but certain priorities might steer you toward certain vehicles. ” Sure doesn’t sound like the Dodge got all the points and everything came in second.

TRoll it’s a matter of opinion and facts mixed for those Consumer guide or Consumer Reports etc. Not to mention the biased views too. Personally don’t give a hoot where the Tundra placed. I’m happy with what I got. Apparently you’re a lost individual who has nothing better to do than cry about his short comings. As for that commercial with the Fords in the background it’s easy for a fool to forget that Toyota people are responsible for their actions so to tow more than the truckcan do is wreckless but we know you have no sight so easy to say what you can. Cry about your handout when you go down in flames.

I almost forgot, ya opened this trend bashing Dodge so Jason post the fact. Consumer Guide Auto dot com has a very interesting road test on every vehicle. Lets say a 09 Ram ranked 74 points for a top of the line 4door 5.7l 4X4, 09 F-150 ranked 67 points for a top of the line 4door 5.4l 4X4. Any guess’s where the Tundra ranked, come on you all have jokes. Give up?? A 09 Tundra 4WD CrewMax Limited w/navigation, 5.7 V8 ranked get this, 57 points. But wait theres more, go to you tube and search 09 ram vs tundra, have some tissues ready. You all have jokes, well so doesnt the rest of the world it called a Tundra! Dont worry Suzuki said if Toyota can make a so called full size truck anyone can, so now they are dibbling in the Truck market so it won’t be long and people will focus on them and it will “Tundra, what Tundra”. Have a good day, your friendly neighborhood Troll!

Troll,

Your name says it all.

You are smoking a bad batch of crack. Your dealer owes you a refund.
