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.

I agree. The economy's shit. I don't know why they'd want to release it now other than they've already sunk money into marketing and it's too late.

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

Its called "Toyota Denial" They can only do right, and anything American is bad. They are more out of touch then the general public or press will acknowledge.

If they are so insightful why would they build a huge truck plant "at the exact wrong time" and start full production of a giant gas hungry truck! F 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.

I believe it is 8psi. Someone on TundraSolutions ran a 12.8 at 107 with a RC Tundra
