Not all tundras are made in the US...

My truck was assembled in michigan.

Go in there and yell immigration and see how many run...j/k

Yeah tundras may be ok trucks, but they are no match for a duramax which is why this thread was started. (also their mileage isnt as good...at least my friend didnt get good mileage..so he got rid of it) I know of people that have had armadas (same engine as the tundra in it) and they would talk crap about being really fast...sure they may be a little quick but not like a diesel powered truck.

I kinda like the Tundras but at the time I bought my 2008 Dmax it was $5000 chaeper that a Tundra and could pull a heck of alot more. At the time I was pulling a 7500lbs tow behind trailer and the Tundra would have done fine but I am sure gald I got the Dmax caues I now tow a 12000lbs+ fifthwheel that would sink that Tundra pretty good I think.

My buddy at work has a fully loaded tundra that is nice and rated for 10300 and he has a 2500 GMC gasser work truck guess which one he always picks to pull his toy hauler that weighs in at 10000lbs?

Later
Phil

Tundras may be assembled in the USA in Texas...but the money is all going back overseas. Toyota is not an american company.
