"the Big Three actually had to recall more cars than they had actually sold"

Well, times have changed, today Toyota has the pleasure of doing the same thing.

Simply replace the door hinges and you are good to go. I just changed mine in a 41 year old GM. I was in an Eldorado 2 door and noted they had a rear seat door handle as well as front on the same door. Neat idea.

OK, sagging doors I can understand, but there is a big difference between a sagging door as opposed to an entire sagging body. On a full frame car it is impossible.

Let me clarify the point I was trying to make. A vehicle like a Prius is bought for one reason. A manufacturer would have to design a lightweight aerodynamic body and fuel efficient drivetrain, and there you have it, a benchmark vehicle for people only interested in fuel mileage.

A full size truck may be bought for a variety of reasons, and producing a benchmark in this class will take far more effort than a small car. Judging by the mainly carry-over 2014 Tundra, they're not getting any closer.
