So this certain friend of mine (who lives in Vegas, owns a Tundra, and spends way too much time on a certain forum) decides to meet me in L.A. where I was attending a hockey tournament for my son.
Over the course of this three day excursion, I was allowed to drive this certain friend's Tundra many times, including, but not limited to, an episode in which this certain friend had one-too-many Margaritas.
My subjective analysis is as follows:
1. It has a lot of *****.
2. It has a lot of room.
3. It is comfortable.
4. It drives well.
5. It does not tow 10,000 lbs.
With the exception of not being able to tow 10,000 lbs., I believe it to be one of the better American made light duty trucks currently available. So much so, that I am seriously contemplating trading in my foreign made truck (Superduty made in Mexico) for a late model Tundra.

It may be American made, but where does 93% of the profits go...

Here we go again. Profits, if any, go to the stockholders, wherever in the world they live. I also personally gain if Toyota does well because Toyota "pays the rent", not Ford. Let me explain. The primary wage earner in the family that rents a house from me is employed by a major Toyota subcontractor in Torrance, CA. Since Ford no longer has any plants in California, it is highly unlikely that I benefit from the sale of an F-150 vs the sale of a Tundra.
