I also include reputation, hey, if they screw other people they may get
around to you. GM fails this one.
Ditto waranty. If it is really so good, why not 6 years and 100,000 miles
for full drive train? Because it isn't so good. In fact you can buy such a
waranty at extra charge, which is a good indicator of how many problems to
expect.
If I got the same equipment on a GM, it was clearly a price loser. Saw a
Chrysler add for a 300 the other day, $6000 off, then looked up the sticker,
like GM a grossly over priced piece of crap. Looks to me like GM & Chrysler
are price jacking, up the price $10K and then $5K off. Sucker bait.
Better off to buy the Toyota Tundra, they will be around in 10 years.
Another consideration.

Perhaps, but the fact is it costs 205 to 30% more to drive home a Jap
vehicle than a domestics if the same size and with the same equipment. you
can buy a Tundra if you chose, it's your money.
Far more buyer are choosing Ford and GM trucks however.

And they will all still be brand new since Toyota can't seem to be able to
give them away.

You are full of it...The Tundra sells very well here. And I have talked
with
a number of owners who are very satisfied with them.

You live in a minority then HLS. Check out the stats. "Dave" is totally
right, Toyota can barley give them away. While Ford moved 215,959 F-Series
trucks, and GM moved 177,566 Silverado's, and 60,532 Sierra's (same truck),
and Dodge moved 112,239 Ram's, Toyota has moved a wimpy 42,419 death-trap
Tundra's. As for the Nissan Titan, they are doing even worse, with only
10,271. I'll give Toyota credit with some cars, but there trucks are
complete garbage, and most know that.

Perhaps but they are selling at a rate of less than 5% of US truck sales.
As to owners being satisfied with them, you might do a search of the number
of serious recalls.

One might note that ten years is not a long life for a truck. ;)
