You think Ford's "largest customer base" is homophobics?

Regular cab models are pretty scarce around here as well. Although Toyota
is targeting the work truck market, I think the majority of Tundra buyers
are still recreational users who travel off road or tow campers or boats and
small entrepreneurs who need a truck for work and personal use. As Toyota
gets the kinks out and gets pricing more competitive, we may start to see
more regular cabs used for work.
