Looks kinda like a morphed Dodge 3rd gen. to me.

Hey, to each his own. But I gaurantee that a"full-size" truck with an oriental name won't be sitting in my driveway anytime soon....

With 120+ years of Chrysler UAW blood in the family, I'd be disowned for even considering buying. [8D]

Now, if I were given one on the other hand!

It's very sad to say it, but, depending on where it was made ( Canada, Mexico...), that Truck might be less of an import than yours. They should start calling them exports. Export referring to the cash leaving here and going to Japan.

These trucksare built in San Antonio, TX and I believe there's anotherTundra plant in MS or AK. Don't really remember at the moment. The San Antonio plant's not to far from where I live. They aren't imports anymore. To compete with US automakers it was better for them to come here. Yes they are a Japanese company but they employee thousands of US citizens. That not only includes employees of the plant but suppliers and many other support companies as well. They are considered a major US employer. I think the era of the big 3 is slowly coming to an end. Won't be long before it's the big 4 or 5. No need to flame me, I'm just stating the facts and competition only brings betterproducts to the public. Jeff.

I'f they had a cummins diesel I'd rather have a tundra than a 3rd Gen ram. 2nd Gen on the other hand it's ram all the way.
