This picture, taken by an anonymous tipster we're calling "Deep Alamo", is from the set up for the Texas State Fair last night. Looks normal enough, doesn't it -- the Toyota truck racing trailer pulling up to the fair site, right? Wait a second, something's wrong here -- is that a late-model Silverado 3500 HD crew cab hauling it around? Yeah, that's what that is. Obviously the reason why Toyota wasn't going to be able to haul this heavy of a trailer was because they don't have a heavy duty pickup to hitch that big Toyota racing trailer up to. But even the most hard-core Toyota truck fan's got to admit it's probably a little embarrassing to have the competition hauling you around by your johnson trailer hitch.

I'm saving that.

Heh heh...the hypocrisy of it all...

Found this also on Jalopnik about Jim Press---

"Press has always loved cars. He built his first go-cart at age seven, got his first car when he was 12. At age 13, he started washing cars at his family's dealership in Kansas. But he said he never bought a Toyota or Lexus. The only vehicle he owns is a Yamaha motorcycle. But he'll soon be driving Chrysler vehicles."

Dontcha just love poetic justice?

That's Poetry in Motion.

Caption contest?

Silverado FTW! :AH-HA_wink:

Toyota - Moving Forward (via Duramax Power)

[thegriffon]

Are we sure it's not a Sierra? "Professional Grade" would be so apt (really driving home that a Tundra is not).

[thegriffon]

Who wants to bet that within a week they have a custom Hino built by TABC to haul it around instead?

[Camino LS6]

If you can't build your own...

[Newbiewar]

nope... if im not mistaken its a 2005 chevy 3500 LT3 package...

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure its not a GMC. Sierra HDs had that chrome bar between the upper and lower headlamp units; Silverados' were body-colored. These are body-colored. Also, the amber reflector portions wrap around alot more and are rounded, not 'angrily' angled.

Here's my not-so-subtle submission:

Best yet!

[Flybrian]

Think we've got a winner.

[thegriffon]

a little double entendre.

[thegriffon]

GM should buy this photo and send it as a postcard to everyone in the USA and Canada, with an appropriate caption.

[Camino LS6]

Now we need to couple it with the longer pic so the message really hits home.

[Oracle of Delphi]

Toyota Moving Forward, Thanks To GM!

[thegriffon]

… an unaddressed postcard so some of them get forwarded on. In fact someone here should make one up with the caption, and "[bowtie]Chevrolet Silverado" in the corner for people to email.

[Camino LS6]

Hop to it ,Choppers!

[Flybrian]

I'm no chopper, but something's coming up

[Flybrian]

[Camino LS6]

Cool, but I prefer The Griffon's caption. :AH-HA_wink:

[Camino LS6]

When Toyota wants to get to the race, they drive the Chevy! :AH-HA_wink:

[PurdueGuy]

Unfortunately, that looks more like an advertisement for a joint venture or something, rather than something that embarrasses 'yota.

[Newbiewar]

or the ever popular...

The Silverado, The official truck of Toyota

In their hearts they know…

…when you need a truck, you need a Chevy.

[FUTURE_OF_GM]

I vote for the first caption from thegriffon... That's perfect!

MINE:

"Toyota, riding the coatails of Detroit to success for over 40 years. (Literally)"

[toesuf94]

in Toyota's defense...the trailer probably was not dangling into a rock quarry nor was there a huge teeter-totter set-up to go through, so they just let the Chevy do the work for them.

Toyota - riding on the backs of American Workers for 40 years.

I recieved this from the Fbodfather in my e-mail this AM...best e-mail of the day by far. GM Needs this to be a billboard in every city in the world - NOW!

[PurdueGuy]

really quick throw-together, playing off the slogan on the trailer.

[Chris_Doane]

LoL...wow that is funny.

However...the HD Tundra is just around the corner...

Edit: Oops...a concept HD truck is just around the corner.

When it comes to doing real work, even Toyota prefers a Chevy.

[Cray_Z28]

It is an 06-07 Classic judging my the mirrors.
