The new Chevy's and GMC's are class leaders. Toyota does not know how to make trucks. Last year Toyota had the most recalls, but the media "failed" to notice since millions would stand against them because of thier reputation. These days reputation is nothing, technology advances so fast it cant keep up. For ex: three years ago GM was one of the worst companies, now they have the most top-rated vehicles, and the quality/reliability surpasses Toyota. Honda is still on top of the reliability ratings. Ford also had more recalls than GM and DaimlerChrysler combined, for reasons like exploding engines and wheels falling off. Here is a quote from the Washington Posts review of the Toyota CAmry "one of which is the Chevrolet Malibu, which in my real-world driving experience has been every bit as good and reliable as the much-ballyhooed Camry but has been maligned primarily because it is a Chevrolet". Oddly enough that was an '04 Malibu VS the totally redisigned '07 Camry. Common problems with Toyotas are useless cupholders, cheap stereo, underpowered engines, and plastic rattling until it falls off. People then complain that when they take it to the dealer to be fixed they just say "The cars are made with so much plastic its practically impossible to fix" GM is also the worlds fastest growing manufacturer, and that doesnt happen by accident.

Before you buy a Truck ask yourself WHAT it is you want a truck for. Once you decided what you want to do with your truck you might find that it really isn't the right truck for your needs and most often the Tundra when used as a truck instead of a HEY I'm Cool--Look I've got a Tundra-Truck doesn't hold up to any of the offerings from Nissan or Domestics. Personally I would go with a Titan or an F150, but like I said--DETERMINE what your needs are going to be and then find the truck to fit those needs. As for where to find one http://www.trucktrader.com If you can't find what you are looking for here, Then what you're looking for doesn't exist yet.

Wait on the new 2007 to come out...It is bigger in almost every dimension then the current one (which in itself is a great truck), and supposedly, it is going to have GM and Ford worrying. But Toyota has a solid reputation for quality and reliability, so you can never fail with those advantages!

You are looking for a truck in the wrong place. You won't find them under toyota.
Look under Ford.
