every year I sell x-mas trees. This job means helping the customer put the tree either in or strap it onto there car or truck. And I can tell you, There are far more suv's and vans being driven today than anything. I know because whenever someone comes to get a tree in one, I have to strap it to the top. Let me tell you, it is very annoying. I get maybe 3-4 trucks a day if im lucky. I am ford all the way!!!! unless its a 70-72 chevy. That being said, Im not a huge fan of the new style F series. They look just a bit too square for me. Give me a mid-late 90's f350. |

I know what you mean by the console, but I think it looks a lot like a Titan interior. And the only think I'm kinda iffy on is the new 5-link, coil sprung rear suspension. I hope there is an option for leaf springs. Last edited by 2JSC; 01-13-2008 at 09:36 PM. | ||

I do love that new Dodge Ram. Always liked their "Peterbuilt" stolen looks since they first did it. Now there Dakotas look like POO. The '09 Ram is refined just enough to be able to pull the current owners and new buyers, should do well. I also read about that 2010 Cummins Turbo Diesel...sounds like a great engine coming our way.

GM will soon be taken over by Toyota as well. but thats because of dumb ass Americans buying them like candy. Might as well give our last major industry over to the Japs too. We're handing this country over to foreigners in every way possible. We're basically killing our own economy. I consider at least 50% of Americans to be about as bright as a 40 watt light bulb. What the hell ever happened to the "Buy American" campaign?? Or "Made in America with pride? Our love of getting shit cheap, is killing us. Walmart and their Chinese made shit. I'm glad I'm old enough to be dead before I have to witness the demise of the USA. Now all we need to do is elect Barack Ossoma to run us down even faster. |

The Japanese unlike the lazy US manufacturers learned long ago people in the US market will pay more for a high quality long lasting vehicle. Japan has always fought with Chinese quality and thus avoids them like the plague in almost everything they make. Ask Honda or Toyota why they will never extend warranties past 3 years, because they make a quality product that will last more than 3 years, more than 7, and most Japanese (Honda, Toyota, Subaru) all rank lower in ownership costs for repairs and highest in customer retention rates. Wonder what all you "Buy American" freaks will be doing soon when the Ford Ranger is built and assembled in China, while all US sold Toyota Tacomas and Tundras will be assembled in the US by US workers. Is this a racial prejudice you have against this candidate? PS, his name is Barack Obama. Last edited by binaryterror; 01-14-2008 at 09:03 AM. | |

I build Tundras everyday.They are built in the US only and they are 87% American parts? Can Ford or GM say the same? The one guy was talking about the "Jap" companies...what about the GMs and Fords being built in Mexico and Brazil?Are they still American vehicles?You can say what you want,but as long as Toyota pays me and 5,000 of my fellow American workers in dollars and not yen,I don't care what name they put on it. | |

1. If you don't like how things are going in America,feel free to leave it. 2. Are you included in that 50%? Because your intelligence is shining through with your comments. 3. "Buy American" or "Made in America with pride" ....how many domestic vehicles are actually domestic now? Hasn't GM and Ford moved alot of their plants outside the US? You mentioned the Tundra,well they are built exclusively in Indiana and Texas. I don't think it gets anymore "American" than that. The "Japs" must be doing something right,because GM and Ford are closing plants left and right putting American workers out of work.Meanwhile,the "Japs" are building new plants providing Americans with jobs. 4. As far as getting things cheap....I wouldn't consider a $40,000 Tundra cheap.It's like binary said,we are just spending more money on higher quality products.
