Truckworld is a different story. The Toyota Tundra is an F-150 copied as much as possible while avoiding lawsuits (like the one Ford filed after Toyota announced their plans to name their truck the T-150).

The foreign guys do seem to have quality issues in the trucks for some reason. I suppose it might be a size/weight thing. Look at all the trouble Subaru had with the SVX after producing a lot of solid smaller cars. The SVX's transmission just couldn't deal with the heat produced from the bigger engine, heavier weight and taller gearing.
