When my Silverado HD finally gets retired, I will be buying a Tundra.

You are the type Bob Lutz warned about in his great book, "Car Guys vs Bean Counters, the battle for the soul of American Business".

The Bean Counters were instrumental in helping to nearly destroy the American Car Companies. And then they run off and buy Japanese. And BTW, the F-150 and Silverado (and Dodge RAM as well) are all superior to the Tundra. Just thought you would like to know. Lutz covers it in his book. Congratulations on doing your part to destroy the American Economy. There's a saying that what goes around, comes around. Here's hoping something comes around on you.

Not true. I was a staunch defender of GM for years. Even bought my Buick before Buick became 'cool'. Everyone thought they were for old men to drive.

I became a Toyota fan when I toured the Tundra plant and realized that so-called 'American' cars are made by blue-state lefties while so-called 'Foreign' cars are made by red-state righties.

It sort of made me realize that I need to support those people who actually think like me and vote like me.

As for the 'manufacturing knowledge': Do you really believe we are not smart enough to reverse-engineer a Tundra if we ever had to? If the USSR and China can to that to our products, we can certainly do it to others.

Does Bob cover how fantastic the bailouts were in his book? I love him because he is one of the few real car guys left, but he was a big pusher for the Gov't intervention and the mess we have today. How many people are not buying GM and Chrysler anymore thanks to Bailout Bob's style of thinking?
