    I think the 3-leaf vs. 4-leaf design spec is more a matter of consumer preference. In this case, wussified Americano's want a car-like ride, not a functional truck. Grrr.....

    I would really like to see all the toyotas built in the US(for the jobs), but realistically they started in Japan and they are a huge auto maker and they are going to do what makes good business sense for Toyota. I believe toyota really takes quality control seriously and whether the truck is built in Japan, US or Mexico I believe they are going to make every effort to ensure that there vehicles are assembled with the best materials and assembled correctly.

    -I have and 86 toyota truck with 332,000 miles, made in Japan
    -I also a 95 Camry with 245,000 miles, made in the USA
    -And now my 09 Tacoma made in Mexico, I guess time will tell if this truck holds up as well as my other two.
