Duh, yourself. You're the one who made the spurious comment about the Tundra having a V6 as the base engine. Everybody's full-size truck has a V6 as the base engine on paper so they can say they offer it as a fuel efficient option. How many of them actually show up on car lots? I'm sure none of the Chevys in commercials have the V6 either. Your saying that the Tundra has a base V6 was a meaningless point.

Or, should we just laugh at you, yet again?

Do some comparison shopping and you will discover a base V6 Tundra costs one MORE to drive home than a base V8 from either GM, Ford or Dodge and they are better trucks mike ..
