Ford, Chrysler Events Showcase New Cars, Trucks – Toyota Tundra Perceptions
Last week, Ford and Chrysler invited Tim Esterdahl to check out their new products. During this time, he got the chance to talk to several representatives and drive several of their latest truck offerings. Here is what he found out.
