I brought my trailer in to the dealership to tow it on my test drive. They didn't even blink.

I've actually read that the bigger, higher, and wider your vehicle, the more you "test" it.

vfourmax said:That's great and we need to see much more of our manufacturing base for many products that have been sent offshore over the last 3-4 decades come back and be American made and provide decent paying American jobs again.
Back in the 60's and 70's a person could finish high school and get a decent manufacturing job that paid enough to comfortably buy a house and raise a family and have no need to go to college and pile on tons of student loan debt. The sad part is today many of those piling on all that college debt are not making even the equivalent amount of money these working the manufacturing jobs did back then and they had 0 college debt and started work earning a living 4 years earlier in their lives.

JNG said:"ifs" is independent front suspension. Fords version of this could be problematic at times on older Broncos and ptrucks.
onthewater102 said:Jethro - that frame rot was covered by Toyota. I know two people who have had the entire frame of their Tacoma's replaced by the dealer at no charge. One of them had over 350k miles at the point they swapped the frame out. Admitedly, it wasn't the best advertised program, but it was available and might still be.
I repeat...THEY SWAPPED THE FRAME OUT - removed the bed, the cab, the powertrain, cooling system, suspension, braking system EVERYTHING and moved it to an entirely new frame.
Find an INSTANCE where an american company did such a thing for a SINGLE customer and I will eat my shoe.
