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.
