I counted 67 Tundra pickup trucks on the local Toyota dealer's lot the other day (12/30/07). The factory in San Antonio must be really grinding those things out. And there must be a big market for them in Texas -- they're big boy trucks with lots of head room, horse power, altitude and attitude. Hopefully, the workmanship that went into these vehicles is of the high quality for which Toyota used to be famous.
And they're selling like hotcakes. In 2007 Toyota sold 196,555 of them, a 57.4% increase over 2006. Source: Autospectator.com.
You can see a list of the Toyota of Midland inventory here, although it may not be current.
Too bad they get such low gas mileage. But we'll worry about that another day.
I love those trucks...but my Yukon XL gets better gas mileage, and has more storage, so why change?

Janie, I never thought of a Yukon as getting good gas mileage. But I suppose it's all relative to the other vehicles.
But good for you for trying to save gasoline. If we could ween ourselves off of the middle Eastern oil then the whole world would be a better off.
