Re: GM Silverado/Sierra pickups challenge the competition

They tested both HD and regular trucks, I know that. That is what I find strange. If you want to compare HD trucks, stick to strictly HD trucks. If you want to compare 1/2 tons, then don't mix HDs into that comparison.

It's silly because the Superdutys and HD GMs and Dodges are obviously better and more capable than a 1/2 Tundra or Titan. HDs and 1/2 tons are different classes though.

How is it strange?? They tested the 3/4 ton trucks separately from the 1/2 tons, i.e. no comparisons were made between a 2500 HD Silverado and a Tundra. Basically it was 2 different test performed in the same event.

You don't expect him to really read the article, do you? It is easier to spread FUD.

We really need to avoid as much FUD as possible. FUD is what helps toyota sell trucks.

Re: GM Silverado/Sierra pickups challenge the competition

From this article I have learned:

A. Realist, you need to learn how to read.

B. The white Denali is as hot as Kate Beckinsale

C. WHY DOESN'T GM MAKE A COMMERCIAL OUT OF THIS!

That's like saying just because one has an ugly woman, it would not be fair to be compared to others. Hey that's life!!!!!!!!!! But GM, Dodge, and Ford had both light and heavy duty trucks. It's not there fault toyota doen't offer both........
The more I read, and see about the new trucks, the more I think toyota brought a dull pocket knife to a gun fight............
