UltimateX Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 not the specs I would expect with 8 friggin litres.....AND I wonder how their creampuff frame would handle it anyway........ Under heavy load the frame will just wrap around the driveshaft like a rubber band airplane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 That is the second ugliest truck I have ever seen, second only to the Super Chief. That interior is hideous. I mean, who puts a baseball glove tan interior on a gray truck. Blech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macattak1 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Tundra Dually concept at SEMA with 8.0 liter Hino Diesel power. Time to buyout the Navistar contract. http://www.pickuptruck.com/html/autoshows/...dradually1.html Wow, that Baby Shit Brown interior would get old at light speed. Why do they put 22" rims on a diesel? Never makes much sense to me. Diesel is about power. Just robbing power with those big spinners on. I doubt a Toyota frame could handle 15k lbs let alone 20k to 24k lbs. That meter board looks like it has a light for just about everything!

7Mary3 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) You all really think that if Toyota came out with a heavy duty Tundra, it would have a 1/2 ton chassis under it? Edited November 2, 2007 by 7Mary3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8A4RE Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 You all really think that if Toyota came out with a heavy duty Tundra, it would have a 1/2 ton chassis under it? Well, their 1/2 ton has a mid-size frame, so ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B. Morrow Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 You all really think that if Toyota came out with a heavy duty Tundra, it would have a 1/2 ton chassis under it? A few years ago I never would have thought Toyota would produce a vehicle as poorly thought out and built as the Tundra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Wow. Here's a concept that craps all over Toyota's every mosquito is sacred aura, and for what? It has an EIGHT LITER engine that has 50 fewer horses and lb-ft of torque than the 6.4L PSD & 6.6L Duramax. Allegedly it can tow 24,000lbs, and the F-450 can already tow 24,500. This is a concept that is L-E-S-S capable than what's on the road today!! Now that's moving you ... BACKWARD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goinbroke2 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 1) ugly tundra made uglier 2) gearstick is stupid looking (out of place, boot too high, just ugly) 3) what's with the bedliner? They couldn't get the inner wheelwells to fit the bottom/sides of box? Or is the frame flexing causing gaps? 4) Anybody who could buy a tundra in the first place, would probably think this is "tougher" looking. blech! 5) 8.0L but they didn't give EXACT hp/torque numbers, could be rated higher when they hear the laughing.

J-150 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 not the specs I would expect with 8 friggin litres.....AND I wonder how their creampuff frame would handle it anyway........ exactly what I was thinking. First time you pop the clutch in first you'll be riding on 3 wheels with that twisted frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-150 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 5) 8.0L but they didn't give EXACT hp/torque numbers, could be rated higher when they hear the laughing. so what do they tune it to? 800 ft lbs? When you start to need that much power, this is the wrong truck. You need to be in a class 4 or 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomaro Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 That is the second ugliest truck I have ever seen, second only to the Super Chief. That interior is hideous.

RichardJensen Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 so what do they tune it to? 800 ft lbs? When you start to need that much power, this is the wrong truck. You need to be in a class 4 or 5. Heck. By the time this thing gets to market, you'll probably be able to buy a F-350 with a class 8 hitch on the back. This has got to be, hands down, the stupidest, crappiest, lamest, worst most abominable ill-conceived, "We have no idea how we became Toyota" concept I have ever seen. I mean whoever greenlighted this heap of inadequacy should be shown the door. If this is the kind of decision making we can expect from Toyota, they are in a world of hurt. This thing is -garbage- it does NOTHING better than existing products already on the market, and it requires a custom one-off welding of a gigantic Class 6 chassis onto the back end of one of the worst looking pickups in the history of ugliness, along with the shoehorning of an 8 liter engine with less power than engines that are 3/4ths the size, all in order to come out nothing better than number 2 (and a big steaming pile of number 2 it is) in today's marketplace.

RichardJensen Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Pardon the rant. It really is a bad vehicle, and it does raise questions about what exactly is going on at Toyota NA headquarters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewq4b Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Pardon the rant. It really is a bad vehicle, and it does raise questions about what exactly is going on at Toyota NA headquarters... Even better lets hope they build it. Then they can finish that whole Japansses full size truck experiment that much quicker. Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyota probably threw together this POS due to this: Toyota At Texas State Fair To Race, Leaving Towing To Chevy? That 8.0L engine was so big that they had to modify the firewall and make all the HVAC and stereo controls non-functional. What a waste of time... If they really wanted to make a BIG HD Tundra, why didn't they just take a Hino, put a Tundra CrewMax cab on it with a custom front end and Tundra bed and copy the F650 SuperCrewzer or the International XT series?
