I am going to purchase this truck shortly. I am impressed with all the features and especially think the Toyota web site is brilliant.

You can even turn the truck image upside down... Click on superview!

wow, that is cool (the site I mean). Would be nice if they could all do that. The truck looks pretty decent too. You are about due for a new one.

Did you see how you can even flip the truck upside down? Open and close the rear window, etc?

Pretty neat.

Zak just purchased a truck like this and he loves it.

so how do you reconcile having a Harley and a Toyota in the same garage?

Why, aren't they both American/Japanese products???

According to this article:

95% of the parts content in Harley-Davidson motorcycles is obtained from domestic sources.

Note: "domestic sources" does not equate American Companies. The electronics, forks, carb, tires, inner tubes, wheels, and shocks are all made by foreign companies. Some of those companies have offices and manufacturing centers in the US, but that does not make them American.

Unfortunately, it's very, VERY hard to get a firm number from a reputable source. I've seen as high as 49% foreign parts quoted on some sites (though they don't have anything to back up that claim).

Edit: I forgot speedometers.
