The obvious answer to this question, IMO, is for Toyota to make a super-luxurious version of the Tundra yet keep the Toyota nameplate........something similiar to, say, the Ford F150 Lariat or King Ranch.

 

I am with that.

FYI, I personally vetod the proposed Lexus truck. Jim Press has nothing on my pull

 

As Whitney Houston would say, "hell to the no."

 

Actually, it's "HELL T'DA NA'!!!"

 

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the tundra already tops out at like $43K, or more...so...having said that, why not $5K more (or $10K) and get the lexus name and other features unique to lexus? Im not seeing the problem. I love trucks and i live Lexus, to me its the ultimate compromise. a quad cab (not sure what toyota calls it) with 4 full size doors and a 6.5ft box, Lexus inside, TRUCK on the outside. this is the entire reasin my dad still buys american, he cant get the luxury he wants and have a work truck at the same time, so he bought a car for luxury and a truck for truck. he wouldnt need both if he had one that did both. expecially if it did both reliably.

 

NO on the truck thing it just dosen't fit in the Lexus line.....you don't see BMW or Mercedes with a pick-up truck! and they have been around a lot longer than Lexus! I like trucks and all, but not in a Lexus.......

 

I had to laugh... so he graduated with a degree in business, but what the heck does he type in...what is that somem kind of Harvard Shorthand? I got a headache about halfway through.

If the basic question is should Lexus build a truck, my answer is a resounding Heck yeah! I'd buy one tomorrow if they did. I've always had trucks in the stable. After getting my Lexus I told my wife if they ever build a truck I'll be the first one on the block with one. I want one I can fill with dirt in the back, but ride in comfort and silence. Both the Lincoln projects are a joke. The Blackwood was a crock because the bed was carpeted. In the latest version it's just an overpriced Ford. The dash looks ok, but it still rides like a farm truck.

I know if they did make one it would probably be just an overpriced Toyota, but if they could Lux it up, add a half a ton of sound deadener and put some comfy seats in it.,.. I'd fall for it tomorrow.

 

NO!!!! No Lexus truck, they already have 3 different suv's ( they're trucks to me ) leave the the trucks to the Toyota badge.................come to think of it, I'm thinking about trading in, or selling my Nissan truck for a TRD double cab Tacoma
