    haha don't be sad man. The Mexico plant builds less trucks...and you know what happens when you build less of something right? It's usually made better. JMHO

    $12.75 p/h is good pay for someone 2-3 times their natural body weight, who's job it is to guide a robot; which does all the lifting and wielding, all the while wearing what looks like their pajamas. When GM and Chrysler took the big nose dive, there were a lot of clips of car plant assembly line workers "at work". Most of those people did not look like "skilled" workers, and hardly meirited the large pay plus benefits that helped put those two companies in the position they were in. Most looked like they would be out of breath walking from the table to the kitchen counter to get another doughnut, and the only skill required was to have the robot grab from the left, attach on the right and auto-wield. Not to sound bitter or get people going... sloth is one of those things that get me going.

    First Toyota ive owned that wasn't built in Japan.

    06 SR5 4x4, V6. Fremont, CA.

    I do want a 4 Cylinder/4wd though. The V6 has been great. I just don't need the power and I know, in the long run the 2.7L will be far easier for me to work on and maintain.

    It's funny you say that because just this past weekend, my buddy drove mine and said mine feels much tighter than his truck. He has a 2010 dcsb trd sport just like mine. His was built in the USA and mine from Mexico. I didn't even realize where mine was built until I was waxing the truck and started on the door jambs. I'm VERY happy with my truck so far:)
