    These stats are for the past month, 9/14/15 - 10/14/15, showing how many visits we get to TW from particular corporate locations:

    GM ... 244 visits, average time per visit is 4 minutes 16 seconds

    Toyota ... 420 visits, average time per visit ranged from 8 minutes to 12 minutes, depending on the corporate location (Michigan vs Ontario)

    Ford corporate visits us the most, interestingly enough. 970 visits, average time per visit is 11 minutes 34 seconds

    Very cool that you have that info.......and there I was thinking that Toyota didn't care about us. Still, it is a little disturbing that Ford apparently cares more.
    Where is Nissan, or have they totally given up?

    In that case I doubt the next gen Frontier/Navarra will be worth waiting for.

    Hmmm, let's put a hexagonal grill on a Mexican Ranger and market it against the Colorado.

    Stat junkie here as well.

    Google performs hostname lookups on the IPs for our stats so we can see how many people come from certain networks (Comcast, AT&T, Toyota, etc).

    If this is coming from their corporate network then they are getting paid to look at forums. I want that job.

    Very cool tcBob! :thumbsup:

    Dear Toyota Motor Corp ~

    If you need a test person for a newly designed truck,
    say a super white DCLB OR 4x4,
    and give feedback on Toyota Forums,
    say like Tacomaworld,
    I would love to volunteer my time.
    Just send pm to Simon and I via my post here.
    Thank you,
    Toyota Customer Simon's Mom

    Just a thought.....GM is wondering why the twins are not as well received as the 2016 Tacoma, and Ford is thinking why didn't we keep the Ranger for North America. Guess FIAT (DODGE) is too laid back to care anymore.

    Maybe they don't care more, but they're worried about Toyota more? lol

    Do you think Ford will reintroduce the global Ranger to the US, maybe as an F100, so as not to detract from their "segment" leading F-series?
