this is just plain sad  :shudder:

notice anything wrong with this picture?

I've been saying for a long time that to be fully competitive with the "big three", Tundra will need to offer:

1)  A diesel... A big, full-on, mega-torque diesel.

2)  Dual-rear wheels, and all the load capacity that comes with 'em.

3)  An 8-foot bed, even with double-cabs.  Oops, make that CrewMax.

The new, larger Tundra is a big step in the right direction (in this market segment).  But I think it needs the above to compete head-on...  And I think Toyota will offer a diesel and rear duals before long, though a 6.5' bed might be the limit on CrewMax models (only 5.5' is offered now). 

Yes, they will be expensive...  but so are their competitors, and people are still buying them. 

My goal in life is to be as a good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

If you don't learn something every day, you're not paying attention.
