    I do. But I want to hear the ignorant answer so I can laugh.

    After that, all I gotta do is Live and Love to have a complete day according to all those stupid signs I see in peoples houses.

    LOL, Boomers were folks that settled on the Oklahoma land back in the late 1800s. The OU Sooners fans use just say "Boomer" as a catch all cheer kind of thing. Just wondered what Oklahoma had to do with Tacoma's?

    Eh, considering my TexMex Taco had 10k worth of warranty work because of a scratched cylinder requiring a new short block, I'm not going to be all screamy about the build location. Especially as the engine came out of a different plant anyway.

    I don’t think it’s ignorant to value something manufactured in the US more than something manufactured outside the US.

    But for that to hold true it would also have to be the last year for the Access Cab, The Pro, and the Canadian Model too.

    It's not, but to infer that something built here is inherently better because of it is.

    Anything is possible.

    All kidding aside, I do check where products are made/ built/ assembled and I will almost always pay more for a product from the US.

    Hopefully will not be in the market for another truck ever, but if I was, I would be looking for something built here.

    For what it’s worth.
