Heres a good question for you. If Toyota makes such a crappy product, why do they hold value way better than anything else? Not to mention they sale easier with higher miles. Wouldnt be because they have a reputation for making a long lasting relibale vehicle, would it?

Facts are there to support both sides of the argument. Chevy fits me at the time and I am happy with it, but I also cant wait to get a nicer truck.

Maybe you havent seen an I-Force swap because they are way expensive, complicated, and less available. No denying anything. LS motors are way simple and less expensive, but technologically better? Two different beast...I dont have a degree to back up any claims on what might be better. Better is a word that is subjective to different people.



Didn't start this thread to get all hyped up, not directing this to anyone in particular, hope we all can not flame war here ok!


First off, Toyota have a better resale valve because a lot of Americans want the NEW.. Toyota is new here in the USA compared to the BIG THREE, so everyone (almost) has to have "the new".. remember back in the 80's EVERYONE had to have a minivan.. same with now a days, people have Cell phones, now now you can text on them... much more time consuming and you do not get to hear a voice.. yet it is new compared to voice to voice, so TEXTING is in DEMAND, and EVERYONE loves it... but does that make it better????

Same with toyota, people after 90 years of Dodge, Chevy and Ford in the generations, want something different.. so the jap truck come at the right time and and people swarm to them,, and then CLAIM they are better.

Teens CLAIM texting is better than voice to voice.. on a cell phone!
the race to get the new does not make it better!


is toyota better
There is no fact except consumers who own a toyota CLAIM there new toyota truck is better than then the ford or chevy truck they had..

Well no duuu.. anyone who gets a new truck is not going to say "my 12 year old worn chevy is better than my new truck"

I've seen many toyotas broke down and friends who have problems with them... they have them fixed, then say "it is beter than GM or Chevy"

I've seen Ford dodge and GM have problems too, but import worshipers always CLAIM the Toyota or Titan is better
