Or maybe Toyota is so invested in bass fishing especially in teh state of Texas that more anglers have seen and been around them and bought one. I think this is the case, Toyota has one of the best tournament contingency programs and not as trail specific as the other programs. what percentage of BASS and FLW top pros are running a Tundra. might be the highest market share? I don't see as many Tundras out there on my hunting trips, but honestly that 1st gen Tundra is the perfect hunting truck with the 3/4 body, but full size V8. I have the best UTV out there.

What is interesting about the poll is the high percentage of Toyota truck owners on this forum compared with the small percentage of national sales of Toyota trucks. I wonder if having the Tundra plant in San Antonio is biasing the poll. There are not a lot of owners of Toyota Trucks nationwide...but they sure seem to be vocal here on this forum. Or maybe Toyota is so invested in bass fishing especially in teh state of Texas that more anglers have seen and been around them and bought one. yep. I'm surprised there isn't a "KVD edition". Haha. With rod holders in the bed. Haha

2015 Toy crew cab 4x4 with nav and 5.7. Traded my 2012 eco boost (no complaints). 35k for a new Yota, or same truck in ford or chevy was 8-10k more. Go look at a F250/diesel and we are talking 20k more. Everyone talks about Fuel mileage why don't we first start off with the price of the car? A lot of fuel you can buy. And by the way, my Tundra fells like a grown man's truck compared to what I just traded in. Dang where did you get yours? Price was 48,000 at the one in longview Tx 52,000 out the door.

You need to do one , who has the most power, being comfortable and the big one gas mileage towing the boats. CHEVY/GMC
Keep them boats running and tight lines.

Have a GM Card that I've used to apply to buying three Chevy trucks so that's why I picked Chevrolet on the survey. I currently have a 2009 Silverado that I use for towing my 2004 Ranger boat. My wife decided on a Ford Escape so that's what she drives. As for Toyota, I've had 2 small pickups and they also make great vehicles. Can always get a lemon but most all vehicles these days are good quality. Kinda have to be to keep up with the competition. But now Ranger boats are a thing of beauty...

2011 Tundra w/ 120k miles...no issues. Get 14.7 towing boat with four people in truck. Interested to see what the new F-150 gets, or if the aluminum body is marketing hype. Really? Humm My new 2015 gets 14.7mpg empty driving like grandma on Sunday. Put a boat or RV behind it and instant single digit mpg. Plus I have to stop and fill up every couple hours. Durn gas tank is supa tiny My wife drives it now. I'm back in my classic cummins

One thing that helps the Blue Oval's numbers is government sales across the Nation. They all make a good truck, Ford has the upper hand being able to target large commercial fleets.this is on top of the fact they are the best selling trucks to average consumers.

I'm back in my classic cummins Went to the lake today, apparently I failed math, when getting my engineering degree...so I would like to see for anyone who cares, what gas mileage I'm getting. Left on full, and this is what I filled up with to get back to full.
