Care to discuss Toyotas entry into the 1/2 ton full size truck market?
5.7l, 381 horsepower engine. FYI, not only is that more HP than the Hemi powered Dodge, it's more than the Ford or Chevy offerings also. And they are keen to point that out in their commercials, not MPG.
Why? MPG takes a back seat to power and payload in the full size truck market, and Toyota seems to think that there is plenty of money to be made in this 'doomed' US only market.
Wait, reliability, correct? Read the recalls, Toyotas truck line has its fair share of problems.
Kool aid? Toyota RDF? Hypocrisy? If you're going to bash Detroit, better start slamming your sweetheart Toyota also. Don't forget Nissan either, even though they admit their Titan is no competition to the Big 3.
Toyotas other vehicles are irrelevant, this only has to do with their entry into a market that everyone bashes Detroit over. And the focusing on marketing catch phrases.
