[QUOTE="Dan Otto, post: 534555, member: 62128"] Don't get me going on american VS. foreign. I do have a problem with american cars and trucks. 1st foreign, Yes they still have not made a real heavy duty pickup. But that will change and U.S. manufacturers should start putting quality into the picture. Not just strong as an ox. I have trouble with longevity and thoughtfulness in design. I went 70,000 miles with a japanese pickup (not the tacoma, the T100) without a squeak, tie rod, ball joint, brake rotor or pads, broken interior trim, or any of the other possibly 100's of other complaints or fixes necessary on american engineered vehicles. 2nd. Sure my Chevy 2500 HD I had could pull the little truck to pieces, but I didn't have to put $2600 into brakes on the foreign one. American manufacturers need to make the needed changes to produce good stuff. grease fittings on my trac. Too much to ask. T100 had them! I throw out to the metal bin about 15 sets of rotors each day at the Ford dealership I work for. I used to check the milage on them when I was a parts man. Most low milage 15,000 to maybe 40,000 Why 70,00 on the T100? [/QUOTE]
