   Does it really matter what commercials Toyota runs for the Tundra?    Sales   
   for the "new" tundra have been in the dumper since day one.    Look at the   
   industry statistics to see what buyers think of the Tundra.   Even Dodge   
   trucks sell far better.   
      
   Tundra sales were so bad Toyota had to shut down the Texas plant for three   
   months and they were dumping Tundra's to rental fleets and at the Manheim   
   Auto Auctions for months for as low as $25,000   
      
   The only Tundra buyers Toyota is getting are current buyers of their small   
   truck who have decide they want a bigger truck.
