All the people that think the Tsunami was karma for pearl harbor dont think that a lot of parts come from Japan. I hope their lose their jobs.

So much for it being an "American truck" Just shows that there really isn't any true American cars yet some Japanese cars built here like the Tundra are designed and built here with American parts and are not sold anywhere else but here.
