Also i tend to consider toyota american nowadays. Most those are built over here, and even the big 3 can no longer say theyre really all American owned or whatever (especially Chrysler/MOPAR) so Toyota to me is just as american as the next, plus it was them who bought the rights to the iconic GM small block 350 c.i.d. which is now tweeked and redesigned as Toyota's bad ass 5.7 litre V8. Hell we got a big plant down close to my homeland, i almost went there for a job a while back lol.

I would choose a 2006 Toyota Tundra Double Cab Pickup Truck, full metal body, which is the actual truck I drive and chauffeur with currently. I used to have a 1998 Toyota Tacoma Extended Cab, but we outgrew that as soon as the little ones' legs started growing. 😆
I actually took some flak, back when I owned the Tacoma, from some diehard "Patriotic Americans" during the "Cash For Clunkers" movement. I actually started to get a bumper sticker that read:
Tried to buy American
Couldn't get Financed
Ironically, Americans wouldn't finance me to get an American vehicle so, since I worked at the truck division of Toyota, at that time, the dealership hooked me up.
