See Toyota released this finally...I like the styling although it looks a lot like a GMC. 3.5 Twin Turbo engine that's close to 400 HP AND 490 TORQUE. Wish payload was more - says it will max at 1900 pounds. I do love the fact they are going to offer 5.5. 6.5. and 8.1 bed in full crew cab configurations. Will be curious to see what fuel mileage is, but I would assume its probably close what a ford eco boost is.

If they offer a 6.5" bed Crew Cab that has max or close to max payload rating, may be a truck I look at a couple years down the road after the kinks have been worked out.

Not crazy about the looks but I'm sure it will grow on me. I went with the double cab for the 6.5' bed but if they offer a crew max or similar with the 6.5' bed I, too, will be interested in a couple years.

What they should do is make a true four door crew cab somewhere between the double cab and crew max and offer only that one cab. Give it a 6.5" bed and they'd sell all they could make.
Heck, they could even do that on the existing frame/wheelbase, give it a 6'-6'2" bed and I'd buy one.

It looks good, I'll probably trade my 2016 for a new one in a couple of years when things settle out from Covid. I love my 2016 and haven't had one bit of trouble out of it, just wish it got better fuel mileage.

Are they offering a choice of rear ends in this new Tundra?


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

That 6.5 bed with crew cab is of interest to me as well. If the mpg are low to mid 20s I may have to try one.

Nah, not a single pivot track in sight.... that’s light terrain.

I’m probably going to pull the trigger on one of these, assuming the COVID insanity dies down a bit, sometime next year. Too bad there’s not a manual transmission option, but I suppose that is very much wishful thinking. I even ordered my new Kenworth with an automated transmission. The world is going to hell in a hand basket......

I traded my tacoma for a Silverado at the end of 2019 and am happy with it. Got a good deal with GM incentives and all. Would have bought a Tundra except for the gas mileage. My 5.3 GM gets about the same mileage as my tacoma did so I'm really happy with that. When it's time for this one to go I will definitely look at one of these. By that time they will have been out a few years, enough to have worked the "new model bugs" out.

Only complaint with my 2020 Tundra is the tiny bed, and not much of a complaint there. Have a real truck for doing real truck stuff that won't fit in the Tundra bed.

Not sure how I feel about the turbo'd V6's. Hard to beat the reliability that came with the 5.7. Too many whining about mileage all the time.

I'm not a Toyota guy but wife is. They are picking my interest. Throw in the off road package with that slow crawl, I may just have to look into one.

I have a 2016 and the mileage sucks. I'm fine with a twin turbo V6, turbo engines pull better.

I was always impressed with the room in the backseat of the Dbl cab. I agree though, something in between and a 6.5’ bed would be nice.

As to the TTv6, wouldn’t bother me at all. It ain’t the 80’s or 90’s. Most have turbos figured out and they are quite reliable.

And if not, Toyota has a lot of experience with recalls. I trust they would handle it.

That's good thinking. Very good. By that time, you will be having major transmission problems with your GMC. I'd be looking into the hybrid model when you do too. I don't know if the op was talking about that model or not. No link and pretty vague OP. The hybrid model looks to put out some good hp numbers and excellent gas mileage figures. From what I remember when reading an article a couple months ago, it was something like 30mpg. That gets my interests up, but I also agree with the poster that said the new Tundras are pretty fuggly.

Hour long tech video from the chief engineer of the new Tundra (and other vehicles that sill share its platform). Covers all the reasons and why’s and how’s.

Still no 3/4 ton, either. We looked at the Tundra some years ago. The dealer said that Toyota was committed to the suburbia market. They had no intentions of making diesels or high capacity pickups.

Major mistake, IMO.

Probably not an issue with the 10 speed transmission, if the ratios are sufficiently low in the lower gears.
