I bought this car new. At aproximately 7000 miles my engine light was on. My dealer replaced "Charcoal Canister". At 12000 miles, while I put gas in my car, it's shutting off the nozzle, although my tank is not full. I took it to dealer, ran diagnostics, said I need a new "Charcoal cabister".

Finally, Ford, Dodge and Toyota might have a chance to break through in today's Citizens Bank 400 at Michigan International Speedway.

My advice is to shop around. Even just MSRP the Tundra is a lot more expensive then the Chevy. And you can deal with GM dealers, unlike Toyota. Me personally, based on what I see the most on construction sites, I'll be going with a F-150, I think they look the best too.
