Default Re: Ridgeline, Tacoma, Tundra?

I wouldn't go ruling out domestic trucks just yet -

GM makes some really tough trucks for relatively cheap compared to the other guys.

The newer big trucks use the duramax engine & allison transmission, which are almost indestructible. I think those are only available on their bigger HD vehicles though - anyone know for sure?

Big trucks (big tow capacity kind) are the only place I see the US leading, mostly because nobody was making them but the US prior to the redesigned Tundra. It'll give them a run for their money if it even remotely approaches the quality of Totota's other vehicles.

However, it'll take a lot to change the opinions of many of the blue collar boys that are driving those things.
