So there definitely is money to be made, if you can get some of these buyers
Totally agree. I have said many times that they don't have to be #1 to be successful.

Tundra sales are not even close to the top 3 domestics, as shown here in Q2 2021 by https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2021-u...ures-by-model/

100k Tundras a year is a lot of Tundras still, especially considering how old the truck is

Funny how the Tacoma outsell the domestics. Clearly people buy the big pickup trucks as redneck status symbol, while something like the humble Tacoma actually gets used as intended, and practical buyers prefer it over the domestic junk.

Not all full-size truck owners are rednecks.

What kind of terrible statement is this?

Not all Lexus owners are accountants, and not all BMW owners are douches. Lighten up.

They are EVERYWHERE around here, for what it's worth. Tonnnnns of Tundras. Tons of Toyota trucks period. Ever since I picked up this 200LX I see way more of them and LCs than I used to as well.

The numbers don’t lie. Tundra is a popular truck here, but there are 10 Fords, 9 GMs & 8 Rams to 1 Tundra. Perhaps your area has a much higher percentage than other areas of the country & don’t forget that sales prior to the 2nd Quarter of 2021 mean nothing. This is strictly NEW SALES ONLY. Tundra is ⅓ less than Chevrolet Silverado alone!

If they make big money and profit then it’s a success. Been put today and seeing a lot of truck… I think they just might pull this off…it will be more connected to the Land Cruiser this time
