Also, as a previous owner of a Toy, I did admired there quality with the
powertrain but the interior was cramped, small, and seemed to fade, crack,
or finally fell off due to American strong arming. But now as a owner of a
bowtie, the quality remains to be seen. The UAW needs to look at there
personnel before asking for anymore money from GM. I am not impressed and
what seems to be a failing manufacture. This vehicle will be gone for
another 2001 vehicle. Ford, Dodge, Geo (Suzuki with 150K miles, no problems
and used very hard.
Maybe GMC and Toyota will merge and then we will have a "TOYLET".

up!)- LONG
I would hardly call 14 years lasting a month....I owned my prior Toyota for
5 years, put 50,000 miles on it (bought it with 90,000 on the odometer), and
beat the hell out of that truck. Now tell me, why am I having all these
problems on a truck that I baby? As far as the new Toyotas, I will do a bit
more research, but from all the info that I can find in print and on the
web, the Dakota series of trucks have a much higher failure rate than the
Toyotas..........real world experience says it all in my eyes. I know 3 ppl
personally that have Daks, and all of them have had problems that I would
put in the major category. I know many many ppl with 93 and newer Toyotas,
and not one major problem. As far as what Steve says, I am going to research
the info and DEFINETLY take that into consideration. But I feel that I would
be stupid to give DC one more dime of my money. Even Ford is looking good to
me now.
