Agreed, QC has gone down at Toyota. Partially due to diversion of QC staff while the other part is due to American production facilities. Sorry, we just can't build it like the Japanese it seems.

I thought for sure that the 1700lbs was tongue weight as well, and it very well may be. But the places I researched the old models at indicated those numbers were direct comparison!

I didn't choose to haul that much steel in my bed, I was strongly encouraged to by my boss at my former job. Bad idea, yes. Risky, yes. Was I young, foolish, and in my first real job, yes.

Supra could take a same year vette, mustang, etc. Not the viper though... its a breed apart. Supra was so over-engineered and production costs were high... thus cost was high (though not more expensive than a vette). Toyota couldn't afford to keep offering this car. Agreed.

Hemi = sales gimmick... agreed. I said this more in reference to previous post. Diesel has amazing torque... agreed. I sure wish Hino would get their emissions under control to meet US standards so they could pop those engines in the Tundra/Tacoma/LC/etc. They do in every other country!

Okay, you're right. I did mean to pick on you! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />
What I meant is that I didn't mean to cause you offense. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Explain loader to me... I may have a picture for you. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

And if you don't want to keep your T100, sell me your TJM extra bumper parts to make mine winchable!
