so i'd like to change my vote from chevy to toyota.after working in an automotive repair shop for the last 2.5 years i'v seen all the troubles that happen with certain vehicles.i work as a service manager for this repair shop part of my job has me running VIN codes with tells me everything anyone would want to know about that vehicle.its amazing how many of the "American" vices are built in canada or mexico,and those American vehicles all seem to have ongoing troubles in certain areas like chevy is known transmission and front end problems dodge seems to have some serious front end issues es pically with there front axle u-jhoints and ball joints, and ford has issues with there brake calipers and steering racks.all that being said the toyotas(tundra) that come in seem to have few problems.1 customer who is a contractor and hauls a trailer every day just put his first set of brake pads and rotors on and he is at 133,000 miles that seems to be unheard of on anyother vehicle a few other toyota customers have replaced tires so far and thats it other than oil changes and air filter.last year i bought a new 2010 tundra and i will say that i'll never buy another chevy truck! my toyota deff could out haul any other 1/2 ton truck and will keep up with any 3/4 ton truck,and believe me i'v put it to the test the ride is better than the 08 chev i had and the gas mileage is about the same.if you want to owen a truck and haul a load or whatever than u really shouldn't be to worried about gas mileage anyway its a truck don't expect to get 30 miles to the gallon.oh yes and so far most toyotas i'v come across were built right here on american soil buy an american tax payer and shipped by an american shipping company all of who pay taxes spend there money here in the states

2001 F250 7.3 Diesel bought the truck 4 years ago used with 60K on it. Love the truck no series issues and plenty of power

90 % of the time-  Welsh Farms in long valley nj , also went to Readington farms periodically . clover farms once or twice {Reading  pa} farmland in wallington nj when they were low  we wont talk about the cheese plants when the counts were too high .   i ran an early truck ,went down @ 4 am loaded and then picked up the next load on the way back ,parked it and did it again the next day.
