7 times in a row having thrown away a Le Mans victory at the end of the race. Today, with 3 minutes to go they suffer reliability problems and again hand the win to Porsche. Japan just loves to get cucked by the Germans.

The Japanese make shittier cars anyway, so this isn't surprising.
They've turned snatching defeat from the jaws of victory into an art form. It's almost as exciting to guess how they're going to cock it up as it would be if they won. Though they have managed to win the WEC in 2014. Just bad luck at Le Mans.
Serves them right not that I'm still sore about them cheating in WRC or the fact I had a Lemon Tundra and they treated me like pure shit for not being happy when my trans seized taking the motor at only 24k miles.
Anything even the Lexus brand is lithium on wheels. It's a shame they use to make boring yet solid cars, everyone my age still has a soft spot for Supra's and the Mr2 even with it's questionable at best handling (mk1 had real fun snap over steer only sorta suicidal)
The cock suckers at dealer were worse those scum bags had nerve after corp honored my drive train replacement to charge me for new fluids in the engine, I told them I was going to get my wrench and give it back drive it home dry and let them explain it to corp.

Blame the boys in Texas about your pickup. Toyota Japan had practically no influence on that. It was designed by Toyota USA and is built in the Lone Star State. As 'murican as a pickup can be.
Oh I know, and the oddest part the Mexican I replaced it with (f-150) worked fine. Even before it locked up and shit the bed, the 5.7 just CHUGGED fuel and really had no more pick up than the Triton 5.4, I will admit it sounded pretty nice.
While I pride myself as someone who moves on in life, I'm pretty good holding grudges to car manufacturers.
Well if economy was what you were after, you probably shouldn't have gotten a gasoline-powered full size in the first place. They make compact and midsize utilities for a reason. But that's your money.
They both kind of fell into my lap, I know they aren't made for great gas milage but the Tundra was just bad for it's size it never hit it's claimed while the Triton had no problem holding low teens. Talking to other Tundra owners they held about the same milage of 12-14 ish at best till highways.
That's another reason I got so grinded, the Triton and it's trans are big dumb old cobbled together things, no fancy tech less gears and it did better? Yea. It's not like Toyota doesn't know how to build a truck see :Taco's (aside the pre 99 v6). Resale is so good on them some dealers won't even lease since they wind up losing money on a lease.

I average teens at highway speeds with my car, and I require 93 octane. So ANYTHING would be an improvement.
Still don't see why you couldn't have traded in for something more fitting for your needs, perhaps even with credit due to trading down.
-also, don't know what you'd expect with an automatic. (Tundras are auto-only if I recall). Gasoline+V8+torque converter+bad aerodynamics+heavy weight=poor economy returns.

I wanted a truck because reasons, I was using public transit for work and back so 2 mile drive to station really didn't bug me too much, running around on weekends and what not didn't matter much either. With my luck I knew I could get away with poor milage and life put me behind the wheel.
I wanted a truck because reasons really and to tow granted only towing around 2500s but Like many aspects of my life, over kill is not a possibility, it was pretty impressive I didn't end up with a dualie.
I'm away from both now

mmm yes
I love that word changing
An 80s Cadillac will tow 2500. Slowly, but it'll do it. My Land Rover is rated to 5500 in high range and 7500 in low.
Like I said, it's your money. Free market says you can buy what you want.
Back when they competed in F1, Toyota had arguably the biggest budget and never managed a race win in their 8 years in the sport.
And during the Group C days, they didn't fare much better. They've only been really successful in Japanese Touring Cars. And that's only when Nissan isn't thoroughly spanking them with GT-Rs.
