2002 Toyota Tundra SR5 from North America - All Comments

"It bothers them, so they like to attack Toyota for having the gall to be a higher quality auto manufacturer and still be FOREIGN at the same time. I have gotten a kick out of reading it all though."

I hope you "get a kick" out of seeing 10% of your friends and neighbors losing their jobs and homes because people decided to turn their backs on American industry.

I agree that the domestic full size trucks are built better as well. I still will test drive everything again when I buy another new full size. This is not a car comparison.

What other myths do you believe?

Original reviewer says:

I don't know what these guys on here are debating. I don't really care. My original review must have angered a few die hard GM/Ford/Dodge fans. Fact is, this now 7 year old light duty Japanese truck serves me well. It would not survive long on a construction site, I concede that. That is work reserved for 2500's and F250's. But for this homeowner, this little truck has done all I have asked of it, and without a quality issue or breakage. That cannot be debated. Debate all you want about how great the bankrupt GM is. But vehicles like this Tundra are the reason people never go back to U.S. auto companies once they have tried a Japanese product.

"I still will test drive everything again when I buy another new full size."

Not me. Buying a foreign vehicle is not even a consideration.

Besides, while people can believe any myths they want about the grass always being greener on the other side, I see far more people having trouble with imports than I ever have domestic. I have never had a single problem with my American vehicles and have no intention of buying anything else.

Furthermore, the import fans can ignore my experience and that of countless other happy domestic owners, call me naive or whatever they want. But my purchasing habits do not contribute to the destruction of my country like theirs do, while they pretend there is no reason to be ashamed as they drive down the road in their imports.

THANK YOU!! It's good to see a few true patriots left besides ME. When our citizens buy a car made by a foreign-owned company they hurt 91% of the people in this country who work in auto-related jobs. Choosing to help only 9% while hurting 91% does not seem very patriotic to me. I've owned imports. They were crap (including one German car). I've owned many domestics. NOT ONE ever had a problem before 100,000 miles. 90% of the cars I see broken down on my way into my office are Japanese brands. Usually Nissan, but quite a few Civics and Camrys.

I have saved enough from selling our late model import to upgrading our domestics with the repair savings.
