isn't saying domestic vehicles are a "pile of garbage" and are "broke down 24/7" words from someone looking for a debate?

If the imports made a 1 ton diesel compareable to a domestic as far as towing/payload. I'd buy one!

not a problem with my truck, and I dont need to drop cash into a charger to make it perform. Add to that people dont point and laugh when I drive by helps my esteem a little bit.

Actually Ford never went broke. They never received a dime of bailout money.
The reason Toyota never went broke is because they are paying their workers pennies on the dollars of what Ford and Chevrolet do. That and they use cheap materials. Toyota has the UGLIEST interior I've ever seen. Their is a reason you don't see Toyota's in the oil patch.

Love my 2011 f-250 6.2L. Actually surprising on fuel when empty, 12-13L/100. Not bad for a 3/4 ton. Pulling is a little different story tho, but no lack of power.

You dont see Toyota's in any industry where they might see 1 km of gravel roads. A local logging contractor tried one out a couple of seasons ago, didnt make 3 months and he parked it on the steps of the local dealership.
I have a 2010 GMC 2500hd 6.0 with 102,000km and its been a great truck. I think the interior is cheap though and i am looking at a ford for my next truck especially the ecoboost. My truck has all the power in i ever need to pull my 24' holiday trailer with a quad in the box but its thirsty.....real thirsty!! If its a smooth drive with not much wind and not too many hills i need a gas station in about 350km to 90L of fuel at 110km. My brother has a 2010 F-150 crew 6.5' box and it gets really good gas milage and is a smoother ride than my GM but it is a 2500. All in all i like my truck but chev needs to step up the interior and boost the HP in there gas motor (or just put that 6.2L in the 2500) before i buy another one and i have drove GM's my whole life.

On my third toyota tacoma ,bought my first new one last week ,all three have been oil field only (operating),these trucks are bullet proof offroad, the last one 1999 tacoma the rear frame did break Toyota canada boght it back @150% of blue book value in mint condition (it was far from mint and had 360000km) i paid 6000 and toyota paid 17000.00
Ya seriously, what is it with import trucks and being fugly. Ford, dodge, and chevy have had a few not so great body styles, but atleast none of them look like some toy car crap.
I don't care if they are the most reliable vehicle on the road, until they get to atleast satisfactory looks outside I wouldn't be caught dead in any import truck.
