I agree the Pinto was a POS, but give me a call whenever the Japanese make an equivalent to my F-350 DRW...

That's the point...Nissan and Toyota got into the large truck market late because Ford and GMC made and still makes a fine truck and that large truck market would have been very difficult to penetrate...

Nissan and Toyota paved the way for a smaller truck market though..

My first truck was a 1988 Nissan King Cab pickup truck....Ford nor Chevy made something even remotely similar..The truck was a gem...

$8,800 brand new....sold it 11 years later for $4,400 with 111,000 mile on..

Try that with ANY American made vehicle

>> That’s the point...

No it isn’t!

What the Japs call “large trucks” are merely (sort of) full sized trucks.

I’ll admit, if I was in the market for an F-150 class vehicle, I’d give Toyota Tundra a close look.

For higher GVWR vehicles, there is NOTHING out of Japan.

NOTHING.

Weren't these made in Smyrna, Tennessee?
