    Default Props to TOYOTA

    For Being the TRUCK[B] underdog, and coming out on TOP!

    Toyota's start throughout history was similar to Hyundai's just to let "you" know.

    Underdog? What are you smoking? Since when can the world's largest car manufacturer be considered an underdog?

    Also, why do trucks keep getting considerably uglier?

    I own a 2007 Toyota Tacoma myself. Even though I'm a nissan fan I'm glad I bought the tacoma instead of the frontier.

    Toyota has been making full size trucks for many many years. They haven't bothered to sell them in America because until recently, the market for full size trucks was dominated by the GMC/Chevy 1500 LD and Ford F150. Because both companies broke their mold and decided to create new models that were not at all what the consumers were looking for, Toyota and Nissan (The ACTUAL Large-Truck underdog of the bunch, though they cheat really.) slipped in their offerings, and made out like bandits.

    Don't assume that because something's not sold in America that it doesn't exist.
