0-60 in 4.4 seconds. Im not a big fan of non american cars. Better yet trucks, but damn, this is nice.

It's because of the huge frontal area on trucks.

It looks like it would be 41k with the engine/suspension stuff only and 36k without the round bricks on each corner. Go without the big brake kit that apparently doesn't work and you are looking at 33k, not too bad IMO.

Pretty impressive! The regular cab Tundras are ugly though.

My bro just bought a new sr5 4x4 trd tundra for 31k and its worth every penny and then some. Its the quietest smoothest riding truck i've been in in a long time. then throw on the factory back blower for 505hp you just cant beat it, If it were a single cab swb 2 wheel drive can you say lightning contender with a better axel, brakes, and comforts. and then you get the quality of a toyota

How much boost are they running on it, anyone know?

Being a truck guy with a TVS1900 on his truck it's pretty interesting to me.

I'd rather buy GM and put my own blower on though(and I did).

Not into quick trucks.

I wonder if toyota had to send this engine to Germany too, to make big power.

Interesting to see Toyota developing their performance market during this time in the American Economy but regardless this will drive all other competitors to step up their game and improve what they have.

So all of you Toyota haters out there, you should still be excited to see this truck roll off the production line because this is going to force Dodge, Ford and Chevy to put out a comparable performance truck!
