The funny thing is that you see a lot of people on here saying "I'd never send my. Money to the Japs!!" I bet half the if not more of the computers, tablets, phones or whatever that was use to post that were built in another country. Just saying.

because i will buy the product i fell is best, i dont give a **** where its made. i also refuse to support unions so i will not buy a new american made car.

Gee thats a riot considering service departments at foreign dealers are just as big, if not bigger than the ones at domestic dealers............

BS Can't believe you're dumb enough to think that
Where does the profit go genius :bash:
Ford F150s are made in Dearborn MI and Kansas City. F250 and 350s are made in Kentucky If you gonna TRY and talk shit, get yer facts straight Lamont :beer:
If I ever got a truck, it would wear the blue oval. Plus, not impressed with the shuttle pull at all.
A lot of our stuff has been outsourced. It makes sense in the short run; however we are seeing the effects now of decisions made long ago. I still feel good about American cars, hell they're easier to work on if anything.

Who cares in a global economy. Even if Ford or GM got the profits and paid these wonderful corporate taxes do you actually believe a politician will do something good with it? Besides, Toyota builds the V-8/V-6 for the Tundra where I live and it has done great things for our economy.

They can't even pull their own racing trailers...
If it can tow it uphill I will be impressed. Otherwise, no.

I think it plays a huge part in that the truck obviously isnt supporting the weight like it would with a trailer. The shuttle is on wheels and the tundra can just pull it where I know for a fact the tundra couldnt pull a 20ft steel flatbed with a digger on it, Ive seen one of my old bosses try, the truck was bottoming out just about in the rear and when he was going up hill he was flooring it..... but it would barely make it up the hill. I have first hand experience, know how......Cuz I hooked it up to my 7.3L F250 crew cab and didnt even notice I had something on the back.
It's def nothing new. We once used a 4cyl Mitsubishi truck to tow a 45k lb CH-53E helicopter since our tow tractor was down. It had no issues. Is certainly hope the Tundra could do this.

Me neither, but that's not the point
My point exactly, no one cares about the USA anymore. And, what "global economy". Our government is so crooked, they let other countries dictate how much we are allowed to import into their counties, yet they allow almost anything from any country to be brought here so spare me the BS aboit global economy.
That should be a Ford, GM or Chrysler plant down there, but that POS Shelby and his butt buddy Corker would rather have foregin plants down there. They must get some nice kick backs.
That because they don't build a truck that can tow like a Ford GM or Dodge. Hell, do they even build their own engines for their race cars? Last I knew, they didn't
Toyota trucks are pathetic.
Really? The truck drove just as if it had nothing back there? I find that hard to believe. The Tundra you were using was never designed to pull that much weight. I bet if you had tried an F-150 with similar equipment to the Tundra it would have done just the same. Always use the right tool for the job.
And if Toyota doesn't use a Tundra to pull their race trailers it is because they don't have a truck capable of safely towing them. At least they admit to it.
Toyota makes good trucks. So do the big 3. Some of you need to get your head out of your ass. Toyota provides a lot of jobs for Americans. THAT money stays here.
I too wish a Ford could be pulling the shuttle, but someone chose Toyota. Its not a reason to cry. It is only being pulled 1/4 mile. Just enough to get some attention and make some new customers. Oh and piss off some big 3 fans.
