petitiononline.com is legit. It's not clear who gets access to the
"private" email information. I'd use a junk email account so
you won't care when it's filled up with spam offering to increase
the size of certain body parts.

Signed with my junk email address. Hope we can get enough signatures to make Toyota at least consider it.

I think I signed one of these a few years back, a lot of good it did. Oh well, I'll sign it again, can't hurt.

FYI, petitions only make a difference in matters of local government. Toyota will only listen to their own market research and what it identifies as the substantial market demand. A petition indicates some amount of desire, not demand, with the difference being the ability and willingness to pay the supplier's price.

Like everyone else here, I'd like nothing more than to be able to go down to the local Yota dealer and pick up a new diesel 70s series LC or a new diesel Hilux. But in this market where we have 2,734,102 miles of paved public roads and 90% of the trucks and SUVs that are built to be able to leave the payment only do so only 1% of their life, mall crawlers is what we collectively ask for and therefore what we get. Some might argue that a supply might drive the demand, but I don't think that Toyota is overlooking any such hidden deman, especially considering how money driven Toyota USA has been the last few years.

Signing such a petition may be fun, but it is unfortunately not productive.
