If Toyota is so great, why all the massive recalls? If late I might add.

And it's not just Toyota; we had trouble with a newer Honda as well. Worse being transmissions. Our models from the 70s and 80s from Toyota suffered from severe rust during the very period you mentioned.

It's odd that you bring up everyone driving Pintos. Pretty selective. During the same period you had exceptional domestics, such as Impalas, Delta 88s, Crown Vics, and large Buicks that were trouble free and still in the road today.

Everyone driving LUV trucks? Come on. The number one seller in America for decades is the Ford F Series. That and the Silverado models were on a recent survey for vehicles to buy for over 200k of service.

Lastly, the Rangers are simple and used for businesses for decades. And not overpriced, with high mileage capability easily achieved. I don't think some of my import rust buckets are on the road. You can put an engine or trans in a decent unibody, but mine no doubt ended up on the pile. Unsafe.

If you love your imports so much, then why are you knocking the Chevy Luv?

That particular truck was built by Isuzu, a Japanese company AKA "import".
