I don't think I'd buy a new Toyota, I can't right now anyways, just for the reason fjorn said. My next truck will probably be a mid 2000's F250 anyways. I prefer my trucks already pre scratched up. I think nothing of tossing anything in the bed of my current truck.

If I were to buy a truck I would buy a deisel for the gas mileage and extra towing capacity. A couple friends of mine get 20+ hauling their sled trailers

Being a Honda guy myself I would not buy a Toyota. Never really liked them aesthetically either. And as for the recall, since this whole thing seems to be true for the most part, I would hate to own one and always have "that" on my mind. My 2009 Honda Ridgeline tows my motorcycle trailer very well, I wouldn't trade it for the world.  _________________

The guy in cali with the out of control Prius seems to be wearing a bit of egg on his face.. I am agnostic about manufacturers, personal preference has always been German anyway. The more I think about getting a full-size truck the less reasons I manage to come up with to own one. My WRX comes off it's lease in a few months and I need something I can get up my driveway with in the winter - a task my M certainly won't accomplish. I may sell the M3 anyway, the last time I drove it was last May  Anyway, I just always found the Tundra the most appealing of the full size trucks. Like I said above I just can't figure out why I "need" one. And I do think that the recall is a crock of shit, sort of like when they about ruined Audi years ago with cars that supposedly accelerated on their own as well. _________________  Ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς www.WickedRacing.com - Go Fast Parts & Gear for Riders and Their Motorcycles PM me for "TrackWhore" special discounts

Every manufacturer goes through recall hell. Look at the domestics and the bad rap they were getting for a while.
Toyota has had major safety recalls in the past. In the mid 90's, they were hit hard with safety issues regarding their heavy duty axles not bering strong enough.

I definitely wouldn't go without a 4WD though.  Our family vehicle is a Trailblazer and my wife likes having the 4wd for it also. She wouldn't make it out of our driveway in the winter otherwise.

I was looking very seriously at a Camry SE. I drove one, along with the Altima, Accord, Kizashi, and Sonota. In the end it was between the Camry and the Sonata. I liked the handling of the Camry SE better, but the Sonata has more HP, gets better mileage, had some nice options the SE does not, and I was having a hard time finding an SE in the color and options I wanted. I bought the Sonata, and I'm very happy with it, but the Camry SE is a really nice car as well! http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/22/2011 ... ta-review/
