  New Concept truck I want one

Thanks for the link. Some neat features, but why does Toyota always have the ugliest grills in the industry? They need a diesel too.

  New Concept truck I want one

I agree that domestic automakers have a long way to go quality wise, and I won't be buying another Ford or GM anytime soon if I can help it. But the Toyota Corolla we had in the late 80's didn't impress me much either. It had some of the most boneheaded engineering of any vehicle I've owned. For example, the front wheel bearings were NOT sealed and could not be removed and packed without removing the steering knuckles and having the bearings pressed. So they'd go out every 20k miles and it would take a day to remove the knuckles, take them down to get new bearings pressed in, and then reassembly. I could do this in 30 minutes on most vehicles. Didn't impress me much.

My brother went through four auto trannies in his GM in the first 30k miles and he drives like an old lady. I'd much rather have a stick since they're cheaper to buy, cheaper to fix, and you don't have to wait for the stinkin thing to downshift but in some trucks they're getting hard to find. Mark, I think on the Tundra you have to take an auto if you go for the V8. Is that right?
