Seriously though, even if the Toyota and Nissan have foreign components on them, they are still built by Americans, they are transported by Americans, they are sold by Americans, and they are serviced by Americans. I'll always buy what I feel will work best for my needs.

Thanks for the feedback, Ive been wondering about the new 5.7 tundra.
Buy what works for you. These guys that think they are buying something American because it says GMC on the front need to wake up; then there are others who are blissful in their ignorance.
Too each his own

Yea, Id rather support an american company too. But thats just me. I like to keep it the way it was. But thats also the reason I don't like wal-mart.
There are no arguements, Chevy will always be MORE american than the asian companies.

Toyota Tundra final production is either in El Paso, Texas, or Kentucky...as mentioned above, most GM and Ford stuff is built in Canada or Mexico where it can be built cheaply by foreigners...not Americans cashing those paychecks.
Hate to admit it, but I own a Chevy pickup that requires constant attention, and worked as a Toyota master tech for many years. I must say that the Toyotas are pretty bullet-proof and problem free. I had more problems with my truck the first year that I owned it than my mother has had with her Solara in eight years and my wife with her Matrix in four years, combined
Just have to change the oil and rotate the tires periodically, and throw some filters at them every few k. I have a list of electrical repairs that I haven't had the time to fix on my truck....but, I still love my truck.
