Yes, but a lot of it is dumb stuff like building a plant for a huge pickup truck that isn't as capable as its competitors, but burns more gas just looking "tough." And finishing the plant mere months before gas prices shot to $4/gallon.
Beg you pardon?
I'd say they put a TON of money into the Texas government and community when building that plant. Not to mention the hundreds of jobs created, and a ZERO waste facility i might ad.
Isn't as capable as it's competitors you say? Sounds like you're somebody that hasn't done any homework to back up that comment. For your information, when the truck first came out it was the best performer of ALL trucks tested including the new diesels. AND i might ad, did it with BEST mpg out of them all as well.
I want to know, what have you been smokin lately?
I agree, the plant was bad timing. But don't go blabin about things that aren't true until you know the facts.
Another fact for you. MY tundra 4x4 gets 19-20 mpg hiway, and 15/16 around town. And you say they burn more fuel? I'd say that's [censored] good mileage for a 400 hp 6k lb truck.
