I dont care what they rate the engine at. What I want to know is what it will lay down to the wheels on a dyno and what the torque curve is going to look like. Its common knowledge that the big bad hemi comes up short at the wheels while the titan will kick its ass with its underrated 305 hp. Dont get to hyped up about ratings. Detroit has trouble coming it looks like.

I hope the side steps are not stock, but an option. I don't know about the radio controls either. I listen to alot of music, I might need a remote control to span the distance. Seriously..........it is quite a reach. I don't see any controls on the steering wheel for the radio like most limited's. What's up with the skid plate being black, can't we color match paint it. The grill.........I like, but lets take out the diamond cuts and put it behind the bars instead of cutting into them and incorporating it. Otherwise.......wow a full size toyota truck. You know toyota too, unlike the big 3 toyota makes minor changes to improve it's vehicle every year.

Wow, I'm impressed ... except for one thing: why'd Toyota opt for 5 lug hubs?

Even the Tacoma has 6 lugs. It doesn't necessarily indicate axle strength, but I'm just wondering why they went that route.

The small headlights actually suit the Truck, because it gives it a more mature stance, whereas the bigger headlight design of the Tacoma is a lot "younger" and less aggressive. In other words, the Tacoma looks playful, and the Tundra looks ... nononsense, like it wants to get something done.

Also, the design in the tailgate mimics the squared off front grille.

LOOKS great.

it looks great except for the dang center console
i hope there is a base version that has a column mounted shifter

also, what mpg are we talking here? 6 speed tranny should help that some

Look closely at the 3rd pic. You'll see audio controls on the steering wheel.

This is gonna be an atomic bomb for american manufacturers, I can't wait. It looks indestructible!

The 5 lugs confuses me

Why NO factory installed spray on bed liner? What size tires will be available? It has a definite Ram frontal "bubble hood" appearance, F-150 dashboard look, and a Nissan resemblance from the back. I saw this truck in person today in Chicago and can say that it's a VERY LARGE vehicle. MUCH LARGER THAN THE PICS PORTRAY. And we're not even talking about the crew cab version. I think the normal cab version (which we've all seen by now with those black spy pics) will look more tame and normal. The crew cab will be a massive truck to say the least. I think Toyota has a winner here but the tire setups will go a long way in proving this new Tundra as competition for the new GM 900's due out this fall. Toyota better offer the 20" tire setup on this truck because of its size and looks are most important today. Even in the truck segment.

looks like a biggie size tacoma.

looking at the picture more and more the more i'm liking the design. i think the design looks very strong which is what you want from a truck.

love the side profile and the wide front and rear fenders.

wish the headlights was a little bigger. maybe that will come when its get its facelift in 2010.

also, how come it didn't get the tacoma's funky bedliner?

The same thing was said about the last Tundra too. And the Titan.
This thing will probably start off hot, and then cool off to current levels. When all is said and done, it'll prolly sell between 150-200k a year.

I really dislike that Jeckyl and Hyde interior though. And the big grey/silver plastic piece just seems cheap.

Nice job, and I'm sure the crew will look just like your pics. What's with this blue? Black at an auto show I know is not advised but with this model I would have suggested it. I know one thing for sure NO short person is going to buy this truck for they WON'T be able to turn the radio knobs, for they're "light years" away. Are all of Toyota's designers 8 feet tall?
