ive driven Honda trucks, yota trucks and my trusty ford, got to say the trusty ford (yes I can even say i drove the other two american brands) will still be around long after the yota and honda, which my friend already broke the yota engine or something ralated to it and the honda had to go in for service because something with the frame broke, some type of bracket on the frame holding the body in place i think...my ford is here and it may have bits of rust but its still kicking strong....

Seeing we all know the outcome, we would hope you are smarter than that!

My F250, 8 years and 175,000 in the rustbelt. Some surface rust,no loss of strength. It runs like a million dollars. It still handles the heavy loads and bad roads. No squeaks,no rattles. I know what my next truck will be.

And they would still be worth more in resale.......hell, search the JD Power site for ratings on trucks and you would be surprised.

I know....I wouldn't want to base my opinions off of "media"........

i worked in a auto shop for a while and i could identify a toyota on the lift just by the crappiest welds ive ever seen and the way the material (i call it material cuz i know it aint steel) was never straight or even symetrical.
