(51,076 posts)When I say toy I mean they are built like toys are, little sheet metal tabs that they screw too to hold the inter fender wells in with, little braces where there shouldn't be a need for one if the auto was designed and built well enough to begin with and on and on. Yup you like a TOYota and want to drive one thats your business but if ever one of them sneaks up on me and tries to run over me and my f150 you can guess who the winner will be and for starters it won't be the TOYota. Neighbor has one he bought new and got an extended warranty on it through the dealer and if he follows a regiment of things to do to it while he owns it he might get some of that extended warranty refunded but in the mean time he's spent more than what the extended warranty cost complying with their wishes. He has to work on that car all the time, most recent was replacing the front struts. My two 14 year old fords have been worked on three time between the two since they were new. Once was the sparkplugs, once was the air conditioner dryer and once was the seal in the rear differential and thats it, nothing that make them possible wrecks looking for a place to happen. No you couldn't run fast enough to give me a TOYota. No way.
Another friend bought a new tundra and thought he could use it as a work truck, what a joke that was. We were concrete finishers at the time and it literally fell apart under the loads that it wasn't designed to carry. Why call it a truck if all you can do with it is haul an occasional 2x4 or refrigerator home from home depot or best buy. Guess what he has now, yup you got it a ford f250 that'll pull the tongue out of a trailer even when the f250 is loaded to the max.
Now you know where I come up with the spelling of TOYota.
Nothing personal in this reply just fact
