   OK, I can't take it. I am watching the Monday Night Football Game. At least   
   three times there has been a Tundra commercial where some geeky looking guy   
   says he watches a lot of football and has heard lots of commercials where   
   competitors says  various characteristics (power, towing, etc.) of their   
   trucks are the same as the Tundra. And of course, the "Guy" says this   
   convinced him to buy the Tundra.Well, this is just a plain lie. There are   
   some commercial where trucks from the other manufacturers claim they get   
   BETTER fuel economy than the Tundra, or that they can tow MORE than the   
   Tundra, or that they can carry MORE than the Tundra, or that they have MORE   
   horsepower than the Tundra. I have never heard any commercial where the   
   other truck manufacturers claim their trucks are only as good as the Tundra.   
   No company (well except apparently Toyota) would ever claim there products   
   were only just as good as the competition. First those ridiculous faked   
   stunts, then the tough truck BS, now out right lies....geez I know the   
   Tundra is a huge turkey and Toyota is desperate to move them off the lots,   
   but enough already. Toyota should just build mini-vans in the unused Tundra   
   plant and move on. Scrap the disaster and start building the old model   
   again.
