You sit here and completely trash Toyota so please by all means explain this entry you made:

joshua Said in December 14th, 2009 @8:57 pm I just bought a 09 Rock Warrior and can wait, I figured with people making such big deals out of normal stuff I will never have to do anything. I already know how to get my first oil change, wait on the light. What is the plan for when the brakes wear out? Any idea about the tires. Someone need to start thinking about this now. I don’t want to buy those things if a little complaining will get them to take care of it for me. So when is the frame of the 09’s going to be extended to 15 years. Put me on the band wagon. The american way right, I deserve it, it a right, we should have to work for it. Didn’t somebody say somthing about the future and current workers of this country?? Read what your writing, wonder where they got it from. Does anyone understand what is going on? Who monitors this?

“If your truck won’t last for very long the frame never get a chance to rust. If your truck won’t accelerate very well you won’t have issues with stuck accelerators”
See the ridiculous recalls and someone wants to talk about a frame issue, why should I pay for it if someone else can!
LMAO??? What does that mean? Wait and I will ask my kids. Who all here owns a truck, not your dads. Who does bumper pulls and you wonder what’s wrong with the world, lack of parenting!

You talk about the money going back to Japan. The emissions that Japan sets well what do we have here? About the parts they are talking strictly about what this website is (Tundra) not any Toyota. This is more than the pot calling the kettle black. This post is on the thread 3 Reasons why Toyota is ramping up. Go check it out for yourself since you posted it there. Now the way I see it you’re talking out of both sides of the mouth. You’re arguement is totally moot no matter how good it is. Creditability is out the window. Either you own a Tundra or not. So “To be or Not to be”. Ohh yes you stated “Let’s get back on subject”. The subject is “You’re Busted”.

So there is no issue with the Tacomas frame, you may want to tell the Tacoma owners that. Apparently that rust is spose to be their. Now what about the FJ crusier? Your right one doesn't case a epidemic but two going on three does. Now you never answered the question what constitutes a series as in the F-series. You posted it and seem to be the all knowing and the link doesn't tell explain, that changes everything easy for Toyota they only make one and can't get it right, right Jeremy there is no frame issue, let wait and see. Don't be so upset Jeremy, if you don't like the troll parade stop posting stupid articles. You should be as mad as anyone else they took U.S. Tax payers money, but then again you must not work and be part of the new generation.

The U.S. has a similar loophole, but no major auto manufacturers take advantage. Japan's inspection process is incredibly expensive, which is why most importers (i.e. GM, Ford, Chrysler, and some euro companies) skip it. Again, READ THE LINKS to see this explanation for yourself. ### The Cars.com "made in America" index is weighted by sales. So, if Ford builds 10% of their F-series in Mexico and 90% in the USA, and if the vehicle has 90% domestic content, then the "made in America" index score would be about 80%. You don't have to take my word for it - Cars.com explains the methodology in the article (again, a link is provided). ### I have to agree with Jeremy - you need to read the links before you comment. You're obviously a smart person, but you're taking a shortcut and hurting your argument.

The only people crying are the 2 domestic brands and the French one. Oh, and the tardo Troll parade here.Also, lets think here. If Toyota was REALLY having a wide spread frame rust issue, they are not.....one model not does a epidemic make, then sourcing the frames with American workers would be the solution so they don't have to be carted across the ocean. That is what Toyota did. I now go back to an earlier statement. READ MORE, LESS BEER. If you are too dumb to click the link I can’t help you.

The GMC Serria is actually 3 vehicles (1500, 2500, 3500) and the F-series could be a F-150 thru F-350 or thru F-750 so what constitutes the series and the serria?? Did you see the 4runner with a 0% with a lot of other Toyota's to include the FJ the Tacoma was 50%. See any resemblance here? Tundra has a frame rust issue along with the Tacoma and FJ. Making one so called american does mean that you know what your doing except their sewing machines saw a awesome Toyota sewing machine in the mall, you should be proud. Now can we get back on subject? Ok I seen the Goverment page and there are a couple questions as for the rating of all domestic trucks.

Where’s the link, is it the cars dot com american vehicle countdown #2 was the F-150. Where was the Tundra?? Now that you mention it, there are a lot of Toyota’s in the top 10 but jason said “Consumers wouldn’t have understood why one Corolla (made in California) got the cash and the one sitting right next to it (made in Canada)” so is that list even right?? Or is it the Japanese standard? Still waiting on the explanation of the Japanese standard for emissions. So while we wait on it why don’t you share your link Jeremy.
