2008-04-07 00:05:00
In what may be old news for some people, there is growing evidence that Toyota Tundra bumpers may be rusting much faster than they should be.

Drive a Tundra? Like Bass Fishing? Good News.
2008-02-26 03:33:00
Toyota announced a “Toyota Trucks Bonus Bucks” program for this season’s upcoming Bass master-affiliated fishing tournaments. In essence, if you use your Tundra or Sequoia to tow your boat to a Bassmaster affiliated fishing tournament, you have the opportunity to win some contingency money. We’re not exactly sure what this contingency money really represents, but it sounds pretty cool. Toyota is putting some extra money up for competitive anglers - as much as $7,500 for the highest placing eligible entrant (note: Toyota/Sequoia owners are not required to win anything, just place). Most local competitions will offer something to the highest placing owner of a Tundra or Sequoia tow vehicle. There’s no entry fee either - the definition of “free money”. All you have to do is register. Learn more about this program on BassZone.com. Incidentally, Toyota has been doing a lot to sponsor fishing as part of their marketing for the Tundra. Anyone care t...
