Yee-haw! Toyota Tundra named Truck of the Year by... farmers?

Congrats to the Toyota Tundra. It has just been named "Truck of the Year" by Farm Industry News, a leading product and technology magazine for "high-income, Midwestern farmers" (their words, not ours). Though an accolade from FIM doesn't carry as much weight with normal shoppers as does a pair of golden calipers from Motor Trend, the award is still significant. As automakers watch buyers turn away from trucks as lifestyle vehicles, the endorsement of a magazine read by people who actually use a truck for its intended purpose has its own gravitas.

Then again, just how does a farm magazine determine the truck of the year? In the case of Farm Industry News, you simply add up all of the reader responses to product information (you know, those tear-out cards) and determine which is most popular. Considering the Toyota Tundra was all-new last year, it probably goes without saying that it was going to make the biggest splash!

Why do you think ford and GM re-did their trucks so quickly, and now are tryiing to prove there truck's are better than Toyota's with the new clever advertising....

As a former GMC and Chevy Blazer owner..I would have easily picked a Tundra as the best.

From experience not jealosy.

I wonder if these "farmers" watched the "Twist Ditch" video on YouTube?

It's a real hoot to watch :-)
