But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government.
381 HP? That's pretty dang decent, wonder how dismal the milage will be?

Really not that bad considering the size and power. And they only recommend regular fuel for it.
The new 5.7 motor is a totally different architecture than the 4.7. It's based on the 4.6 V8 in the Lexus LS460, only stroked out and beefed up. It's all-aluminum.

<banging head> why didn't they do this four years ago? my '02 can only haul 7,200. I've got too much invested in 5th wheel upgrades and a supercharger kit to buy a new one now.
If you really care that much about towing high weights, you should not be looking at a Toyo.
Go look at a diesel.

Wonder if TRD will release a blower for it to make it truly insane?

I have to agree. As good as the 10000+ LB capacity looks for the advertising copy, I still wouldn't hook up a trailer that big to anything but a diesel HD.

10.2:1
A blower would make it ridiculous. But ridiculous is fun. Edmunds measured 321 whp on a chassis dyno, so the rating of 381 could be even a bit conservative. Assuming 20% parasitic power loss: 321 / 0.8 = 401

But what about a 747? Would you hook it up to a stripped 747 with fake engines and nacelles that was stripped inside and used as a movie prop?
That could make for some good pseudo-advertising copy.

What torques me, it that they have dually technology, but aren't applying it anymore (remember the motorhomes?). This truck is asking for a dually.
It's just a half ton truck, available with a big engine. Looks real nice for what it is, a mall troller, but this is not a HD type truck, meant for serious work.
But it does have the "T" badge on it I guess...

My point is that they had one-ton technology for the motorhome series, and they were the old, small pick-ups. Those things were built like bricks! I have never figured out why they haven't put that equipment in the Tundra series. Someone "upstairs" is not getting the message.
I guess I've gotten used to upgrading all my equipment over the years. Usually the first thing I do is a spring/shock upgrade, airbags, reach for the HD anti-sway bars and change out the tires..

When I was still Managing a toyota dealership, Toyota Corporate brought in a ford f-whatever dually in. They mentioned that we needed to have a bay capable of handling a vehicle of this size and specs soon. They also mentioned a deisel is definately in the works.
When Toyota started roundy round racing, and especially when they got NASCAR to "OK" Toyota's should-be-illegal engine for racing, the next demographic on their list was clear...

This truck was in the works LONG before any of that.
