Yup it was made in Texas and no way would I buy another government motors vehicle. My last two ('82 Olds Delta 88 Royale and '83 Chevy Silverado) stayed at the dealership about as much as they did at my house. I swore never again to own a GM product and haven't.
This is my third new Toyota in a row following a long list of Fords. I still like Ford trucks and actually own a '99 F150 but in '97 when they changed the looks they sure made them ugly.
The photos doesn't really indicate just how tall this truck stands. At the bed it's as tall as Faye is and comes almost to mine and Matt's chin. It's a full 5' from the parking pad to the top of bed. It's a tall climb into it and yeah we're both gonna need those step bars. As short as Faye is it might still be a bit of a step up for her but it will be a lot easier to step up onto the step bar then into the truck than trying to climb all the way at once.
Next week I'll get the step bars installed and have Line-X spray in a bed liner.
David D. it has the six speed auto tranny you guys make there in WV.
The cab other than being a pickup is almost identical to the 2008 Sequoia I've been driving. All controls are the same and in the same place except the AC control doesn't have a digital read out like the Sequoia did. Same seats, console, over head console and all just like the Sequoia so I don't have to relearn the controls. Heck I only found out last month my Sequoia even had a roll down rear window. This one has the same switch which opens the sliding rear window. What the heck is up with that?
It has some sorta fancy radio package with blue tooth compatibility and controls for radio/stereo and cell phone on the steering wheel. Heck my cell phone does nuttin but make and take calls it ain't got a blue tooth in fact it ain't got teeth at all nor a key board either. It came with a 90 day free XM satellite radio package and I don't even listen to a radio when I drive. I'm sure Matt will if I let him drive it.
