"In 1967, Toyota established its first forklift dealership and sold its first forklift in the U.S. Over the years, Toyota has continued to evolve its lift truck product line."

Saw my first Toyota in Jan. 1970 at MHECO, Denver, Colorado, (owners Jack & Bob Patten) who represented Toyota then and just became an Allis-Chalmers dealer then. By the early 1980s - like 1981 - collectively the Japanese lift truck imports (Nissan formerly Datsun), Toyota, TCM and Mitsubishi (the new kid on the block then) represented about 30% of the ICE product sold in the US - not counting the Yale/Sumitomo made products - at that point the Japanese importer were not were not members of the ITA but we had real good G2 sytem at A-C back then. Then A-C died the death of a rag doll in about 1983/4
