There's already a thread in rec.autos. A completely dead group AFAIK but
with at least one troll.
The groups posted to seem to be chosen as near to random as one could.

Yes, that's the big problem with the Tundra; Toyota built a heavy duty
truck for commercial use, not a truck that was intended to be a
substitute for a passenger car like GM, Ford, and Dodge have been doing
(since they make all their money from such vehicles).
On Saturday I was at Home Depot. There were four trucks with racks
parked by the large roll-up door by the lumber and building materials
section being loaded up with supplies by contractors. Three were Tundras
of various vintage, one was a Ford F150. Then I went to Trader Joe's
across the street and counted trucks, three Fords, one Chevy, one Dodge,
and one Tundra.
To make a long story short, it's very clear that the Tundra is being
purchased by companies and individuals that actually need a truck to do
work, not just for going around town. They can't afford to buy a less
reliable, less capable truck because any tiny savings in initial price
would be lost many times over in the future.
Perhaps Toyota is missing out on a profitable market segment by not
building a car-like full-size truck. They probably are reluctant to
build a light-duty full size truck because they don't see that as a
market that they could easily take away from Ford in the areas of the
country where such vehicles are used as passenger cars.

but, but, I went to Home Depot this morning and all I seen on the lot
were a couple of late model Fords PU's several beat up older Fords PU's
and a couple chevs. Not a Tundra to be found.

didn't say a fucking thing about "rock crawling," you pulled that one out of
your arse.
trucks are good for a lot more than hauling... or do you equate hauling
capacity with penis size?
when amerikans make a truck that will last 100,000 miles and not cost you
your left nut in pointless repairs, give me a shout. Oh by the way.... how
do the "big three" (what a memory that is) handle recalls???? They don't.
They let you the dumb ass consumer suffer with their shitty design and
assembly.
peace. or maybe since you like ford it should be "pieces"
and wasn't ol henry ford a real piece (there's that word again) of work.
Today he'd be called a terrorist....
