    Yep, this is the reason Ford isn't even going to be making passenger cars anymore.
    Still the highest margin vehicles to produce by a lot.

    Ford and GM may be bowing out of the car market because they couldn’t even give them away anymore. I’d bet my life savings that if Toyota would license them the Camry, Prius and Corolla they’d be happy to sell cars again. Hanging your entire corporation on a single product line Ian a single market just doesn’t seem like something TMC envies.

    They’re still making SUV’s, cuv’s, and muscle cars. Trucks and SUV’s alone make absolutely insane profits.
    Also as mentioned above, nobody wants to buy a car from those two and especially ford. Those have to be the cheapest made piles of shit I’ve ever driven. I know basic economy cars aren’t fancy, but they were just terrible

    SUV, CUV, muscle cars and trucks. Remember how hot those segments were the last time gas was over $4/ gallon. Any bets we see those prices again during this administration? Fool’s errand.

    All motor vehicle sales were torpedoed by unemployment, but only during the height of the great recession. $4 fuel prices is certainly plausible with this admin and congress. But, high fuel prices didn't stop people from buying big vehicles, the lack of employment did. High fuel prices during the George W admin didn't stop truck and SUV sales. Even the ridiculously high prices that lingered after the advent of the great recession and throughout the Obama admin did not stop truck sales.

    For two years in a passenger car, it's done great. Who is to say how it will do in a truck or long term? My guess is if your truck is a passenger car it will be ok. But if your truck is a truck, you could end up feeling a little pissed.

    Your post reminds me of Gal Gadot singing "Imagine". Dunno why. :monocle:

    I was going to comment on how crazy this logic is but it seems many others already beat me to it.

    If Toyota thought in the way you speak then the Rav 4 wouldn't be the best selling car in the US. The Highlander wouldn't be top of its segment, same with Tacoma and Corolla. I'm not going to write pages as to why, it's a pretty basic concept. As a BUSINESS that wants to make money, they care. Regardless of what others may "imagine".:thumbsup:

    I don't think he was implying that they are completely indifferent on the matter, but rather that they are not attempting to take a huge bite out of the US truck market. It's not where their focus is.

    Got it. I read it differently, but if that was what they ment then I can see the logic behind that thought. Toyota did take their sweet time to do anything significant in the segment. Part of me just thinks because its really only a US segment that it got back burner due other global models needing upgrades to stay top of their respective class.

    For sure, but that's been Toyota's MO in the body on frame vehicles. Look at the Tundra, Sequoia, and 4Runner. All of them are borderline ancient by automotive standards. However, look at the sales numbers. It's steady, or increasing. The 4Runner has been an absolute gold mine for them with increasing sales numbers every year, and it's been just as "neglected" as the Tundra. Toyota knows what they are doing, and they aren't swayed by the ones who yell at them to update everything every other year. They just keep trucking along.

    Toyota makes money. Several times more than the highest volume truck builders in the world. They don’t want or need the headache of that niche. All I’m saying.

    Yeah I think @AzureNightmare summed up your point differently then I did. I don't disagree with your stance about not fixing it if it ain't broke.

    Much to our truck loving dismay. I’d love for them to claim every title. Truck of the year. Best seller. Best in class go. Best towing. Highest payload. Or maybe all of this rambling is my secret desire that the 2022 is a let down so I don’t love my 2020 any less. Maybe.

    Here's the latest pic I received from a Toyota engineer experimenting with having no bed at all to increase mpg, and to eliminate all the bed bounce complaints they've received... Looks promising to me.

    Frankly I do not need one of the new trucks with a purse holder that are being put out by GM, Ford and Dodge now.

    I loved my Gen 1 and would buy a brand new one today. People saying Toyota does not know what it is doing with Trucks should look at the Tacoma and Hihlux. I think the Hilux would sell very well in the US and I personally would buy one if I could pending a test drive and making sure it was not too small inside. I see nothing really wrong with the current gen Tundras other than their love of the "chrome" detailing when all I really want is chrome removal.

    I am waiting to see what the 2022 is but honestly it is hard to find information on though every time I look there is a site that puts out a Tundra post to get hits seemingly every day. Also I do not care if the Tundra is the number 1 selling truck on the market. That is not something that interests me.

    I have a 2001 and I am highly interesting in the new Tundra but I am losing my resolve and have started looking at a Chevy.

    I would probably buy a 2021 Tundra but it is hard to find them in my area and honestly I hope they give you the option to not have so much "chrome" on the next gen.

    I'm gonna wait until the mid cycle refresh then I'll seriously consider buying one. I think the mid cycle refresh is very worth it on almost every Toyota model. I'm really hoping they'll have a crewmax with the 6.5' bed option.

    Bought my 18 because I needed more cab space over my last DC. This could easily be the last gas truck for me and I don’t replace it until it’s time to go full electric.

    Coil spring in the back is great. A lot more Pro's than Con's with that setup.

    If you want leafs keep your current or go to a HD that still has them. I'd rather have soft coils for commuting that I can stick a bag in whe loaded vs stiff af leafs that beat you to death

    Question: If the new Tundra is on the same frame as the Tacoma will have a smaller cab? Will I lose comfort?
