RE: Pimp My Ride Red Neck Style !!!

I hope this worked, this is my “new” truck, my old 79 F250 died after 270k of rough towing and mudding. I live in a truck community and I have only seen one Toyota pulling a trailer. The foreign trucks are all crap.

RE: Pimp My Ride Red Neck Style !!!

Just post your truck. Buy what you want and dont tell others what to
do with their money [:@]. Here is the exact reason why I bought my truck, forget about the fact that it was "truck of the year" and that since Toyota has been producing trucks (20-30years?) they have NEVER had 1 recal with their trucks.

This is just and example and if you look at your local auto trader or sales you will find similar results. The F150 new is about 5 grand more than the Toyota new off the lot. Look at the vehicles year, mileage, and resale value. now if you were spending 5-6 years worth of car payments wouldn't you want, what you believe is the best purchase for your money.

Just keep to posting pics and or stories about our vehicles and quit with the attacks. Dont like a foreign made vehicle then dont buy one and while your there dont buy a forign made T.V, camerea, stereo, clothing, food, and then don't purchase gasoline becausse that is from overseas as well.

RE: Pimp My Ride Red Neck Style !!!

I drive a white '97 TOYOTA T-100 extended cab. Built in Los Angeles.I would post a pic of it but, if ya seen one, ya seen 'em all.

Why didn't I buy American? Well, the last "American" car I bought was a Plymouth Voyager. It said Plymouth anyway. Under the hood though, it was all Mitsubishi.[:-]

I'm a big guy and I have to buy cars and truckslike I buy shoes. I gotta try them on. So,when I needed a pickup, I went to the Dallas Auto Show and tried'em all on.

My knees were up in the dash on an F-150. [:@]

In the ChevySilverado, My head was touching the ceiling. Same thing with GMC, of course. [:@][:@]

Walked over to the Dodge.... then came to my senses and walked away. [8D]

Couldn't slather enough butter on my buns to squeeze into a Nissan. [&:]

Sat down in the T-100 and - holy smokes! - I had plenty of head room, plenty of knee room, plenty of elbow room.The Toyota was the only truck that I fit into comfortably so I left the show, went straight to a dealerand bought one. It wasa LOT more money than I wanted to spend for a pickup, but it's been the best darn truck I've ever owned.

RE: Pimp My Ride Red Neck Style !!!

Come on guys this is plain stupid. The origional poster didnt desirve this. Does it really matter to you what I or someone else buys or drives? Foreign cars and trucks are here to stay like it or not. 99.9% of ALL electronic items are from overseas. Do you own a TV? A camcorder? A DVD player? How about your computer? Where was it made? Sounds a bit hipocritical to me to blast someone for buying foreign when your own house ifFULL of foreign products. Buy what you want and shut up!!!

HeckI just wish I had a truck again. I sold mine a few years back for a mini van. How stupid was that?!?!?!?

Sad to say, but just about everyone I know buys Toyota, Honda and Nissan to get a better quality, period. It has nothing to do with "jealousy."

That is one of the lamest excuses of all of them. I have owned nothing but American cars and trucks........so has everyone in my family. Never had one single vehicle I would consider poor quality. My dad had a F150 that had some fuel injector problems that was fixed immediately. Poor quality is nothing more then a myth taken in by gullable consumers hook, line, and sinker. Funny how when a foreign care goes to hell it doesn't get someone riled up but if an American car gets a flat tire they whine about it to everyone who will listen.

When I think of how long a Toyota, Honda, or Nissan will last, I think of 250,000 - 300,000 miles. I know there's going to be tons of examples of people on here who have a GM or Ford who made it much longer --but when I think of the average lifespan of one of those, I'm honestly thinking it's 100,000 miles.

My point exactly..........pure myth. My truck isn't even scheduled for anything other then normal maintenence for 100,000. That's right......first check up is at 100,000 miles.

Didn't you say you did a LOT of research before you bought your truck?? All that research and you still think Toyota has never had a recall??

Where did you do your research??........www.Toyota.com??

I live in Michigan and I see it everyday. My parents both lost jobs in the auto industry. Luckily for me they put both of their kids through college first with their GM wages. The other day I saw this lady driving a Kia with a big American Flag sticker right under the Kia logo. It kills me to see stuff like that whenso many people in my area losing their jobs. Like I said, sorry to get all “political” but I LIVE this everyday. I see the effects firsthand when people don’t consider the consequences of how they spend their money.

LOL! Ihave a guy at my job that drives a toyota pickup with american flags all over it. I laugh every time I see it.

I have to admit, I work at a toyota dealer as a mechanic and although I do believe they are excellent automobiles, I still drive my Dodge.
