Those kinds of figures are only relevant if you know what happened the year before. The previous Tundra didn't sell anywhere near what the new one does. Whether that's because of the total re-design or the money on the hood is another matter to be debated.
However, I think we're just realizing the tip of the iceberg of the whole housing/refinancing/shaky mortgage problem. I fear we have not reached the bottom, there's more room to fall down. And that this situation will affect many more of us, whether or not we purchase pickup trucks or cars.
