OK, I can't take it. I am watching the Monday Night Football Game. At least
three times there has been a Tundra commercial where some geeky looking guy
says he watches a lot of football and has heard lots of commercials where
competitors says various characteristics (power, towing, etc.) of their
trucks are the same as the Tundra. And of course, the "Guy" says this
convinced him to buy the Tundra.Well, this is just a plain lie. There are
some commercial where trucks from the other manufacturers claim they get
BETTER fuel economy than the Tundra, or that they can tow MORE than the
Tundra, or that they can carry MORE than the Tundra, or that they have MORE
horsepower than the Tundra. I have never heard any commercial where the
other truck manufacturers claim their trucks are only as good as the Tundra.
No company (well except apparently Toyota) would ever claim there products
were only just as good as the competition. First those ridiculous faked
stunts, then the tough truck BS, now out right lies....geez I know the
Tundra is a huge turkey and Toyota is desperate to move them off the lots,
but enough already. Toyota should just build mini-vans in the unused Tundra
plant and move on. Scrap the disaster and start building the old model
again.

Maybe Toyota is just as desperate to sell Tundra's as domestic automakers
are to sell...well...everything they have.

Ford, Dodge and GM are different. They never stretch the truth. And
their trucks are selling so well, that they are going to build more
plants to make them.

Geez, it's advertising. Give yourself a break.

It seems to me if other manufacturers have to compare themselves to the
Toyota Tundra then they are running scared. It's the same with the
Camry; you always see commercials from Ford/GM/Chrysler/Hyundai/etc.
comparing themselves to the Camry. I guess when you're the market
leader others are trying to emulate you.
