    A small detail that's nice to see? Analog dials. Not really a fan of the fully digital gauge clusters. Full LCD panels don't seem to age as well.

    Looking forward to the 6.5' Crew. I think. :monocle: Not sure what I'll go with. I've got a DC now so I would definitely feel the pinch going down a foot in bed length.

    I'm unimpressed, just incase anyone cares. This interior should be rivaling Dodge's 2019 interior and everything I've seen shows it won't.

    World beater... :rolleyes:

    To me it looks like they just stuck a bunch of things in different places. Doesn't really flow very well. Not a huge fan based on these pictures.

    Not a fan of how the air vents next to the screen are. Why make them like that? Just looks weird and just not right. To me.

    No way they could satisfy everyone - I also own a 2020 Ram and prefer my 2016 Tundra interior. Both are mid level trims which does make a huge difference. Go to top level and the Ram is much better (except their screen looks like a complete afterthought and was thrown in)

    Sort of yes and sort of a big no.

    I don't think anyone disputes that turbos can produce more HP and Torque in smaller gasoline engines than larger NA engines. Yes, those numbers are accurate, but the TTV6 and TTV6 hybrid only get to those numbers when the turbos are engaged. This means accelerating or under load, but very fuel inefficient as a truck doing truck stuff.

    So if the preference is an awkwardly handling, relatively slow, large sedan with an open trunk..ok that is the powertrain for you. However, if you want a powertrain that is relatively efficiency under load, larger displacement still wins. Myself, I am hoping Toyota fools me and has a yet unseen diesel that they are planning on dropping on the Tundra. Doubt it happens, but that is too big a front end for TTV6 hybrid or not.

    Still, I keep hoping at the end of that poor quality video that kicked this thread off back in November when the words "dominating soon" came across the screen means something. An I6 Diesel in the Tundra could dominate my driveway.

    Yeah dominating the 2016 truck market this was built to compete with. Nothing about this truck so far says cutting edge or even leader in a segment. The interior looks awful, 2019 Dodge is superior based off what I've seen.

    Body looks like a Ford.

    Engine and trans will probably edge out Fords hybrid and turbo models... jus in time for the lightning to make the Tundra look dated, yet again.

    Look at the taco and landcruisers l. Nothing earth shattering or "world beater" about either of them. This will be a middle of the pack mediocre truck in 2 yrs.

    I have been towing with my 08 since it was new and had I owned another brand it would be dead or had major transplants at this point. You don't need to redline it to get the job done, gimme a break. I tow something about once every 2 weeks and generally over 2 serious grades. You?

    Ford is getting out of the half ton diesel game, no way Toyota comes in right now. Diesels do not dominate in the half ton world.

    C'mon man you don't have to bury my hope with evidence. Just let Toyota do it in a couple months when they release the specs.

    But the Ford lightening? That thing is about as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop.fullsizeoutput_ff1.jpg

    It will probably be a good truck (unless it follows the taco path). But this "world beater" stuff so far seems like a bunch of empty hype train garbage.

    Great MPG and the reliability of the current gen, plus better handling and payload would a massive win in my book. Aftermarket will address the rest, just like it ALWAYS has for Toyotas.

    Ya know?

    Anyone know anyone who heard of anyone who wants the F150 diesel? Might have more to do with the duramax kicking their ass, thinking finding a TRD Pro is hard, try finding an AT4 with a baby Duramax.

    The mini Powerstroke wasn't a bad engine. Not sure why no one bought them. It probably had to do with the fact that you could buy an F250 Powerstroke for not much more but F150 owners cried for years about wanting a diesel. I think I've only ever seen 2 F150 diesels out of the thousands I see every year on the road and job sites.

    I think that has more to do with how few 1/2 ton Duramax's they made available. I tried looking for one 1.5 years ago and out of about 100 GM half tons 5 were Duramax's, and out of that 1 would be AT4 trim. They were incredibly rare prior to the chip shortage, I can only imagine how hard it is to find one now. It was easier to find an 1 ton gasser that wasn't fleet trim than it was to find a Duramax GM half ton.

    Have one as a work truck right now - engine is meh but the transmission is very clunky. Don't see the point of them unless towing 6k+ every day, which is probably why they're going away.

    Significant bump in payload of 1600 or more and 30mpg might move the needle. Right now off everything I've seen I'm a No

    Yeah I honestly don't see the appeal of a half ton diesels. If I'm going to deal with the insane maintenance cost of owning a modern diesel it better pull a damn house like the Super Duty. This is coming from an ex Super Duty owner. LOL

    I'm the same, the cost difference just isn't enough from a half ton diesel to the HD diesels, and they sure don't feel like the same engine. HD diesels are intoxicating they have so much power, half ton diesels are just boring.

    I wanted a faster vehicle so I also bought a Chevy SS... because 4 door sedans with big V8’s are hilarious.

    I too would love to see an inline 6 turbo diesel offered, but I’m more likely to win the lottery and I don’t buy tickets.

    As far as fuel efficiency under load, smaller displace turbo gas engine vs larger displacement NA I do not disagree with you that the larger NA motor is going to be more fuel efficient more often than not. Here’s where our disagreement might begin: we are talking about 1/2 ton pick up trucks. You mention a relatively heavy, slow, poor handling sedan as what the TTV6 1/2 ton is. Well my friend that is what all 1/2 tons are designed for. Occasionally towing or hauling heavy, and otherwise doing family duty and light duty towing and hauling. So an engine that gives more power when you need it to work that 5-10% (or likely much less) of the time under heavy load, but gives significantly better efficiency the other 90-95% of the time is a far superior choice in a 1/2 ton.

    If you find yourself frequently towing a heavy trailer or loading the truck down buy a bigger truck than a 1/2 ton. Not only will you get the engine, cooling package, and transmission you need but the frame, axles, and brakes too. If that describes you, then sadly Toyota isn’t interested in your business.

    . I see this sort of explanation all the time on this forum, don't know where people got it in their heads that half ton trucks aren't "trucks". If they are designed correct, then they are fully capable as trucks for doing a lot of hauling under load. Gasoline TTV6s are not. 5.7L V8 with a big rear axle is. No coincidence that the two first million mile tundras, albeit 4.7Ls, belonged to drivers that primarily towed all their miles. They were work trucks that worked as trucks.

    100% true, and I fear Toyota is going to try to compromise. So it won't have a good ride, won't have the best fuel mileage, and will have just a bit more payload than the other half tons but not be stiff enough to carry it well.

    It may be hard to find one to buy, but I see them everywhere now. At first they were far and few between but they've really taken off in the past year. I drive a ton for work and I don't think Ive ever seen a ministroke on the road and only a handful of ram's with the eco.
    But if I see a new gm it's either a 5.3 or duramax. The 6.2 is the rarity

    Keep hearing rumors that the V8 will carry on into the 2022.

    Do y'all think Toyota will upgrade the 5.7 a bit, or just straight up carryover? I could see them throwing D4S on it to get it to that magic 400hp mark.

    Personally, I'd be surprised if the V8 is an option, but I'd be even more shocked if Toyota threw money at it.......

    And yet even the guys on the GM forums say the 5.3 is shit and the 6.2 or 3.0 are the only way to go.

    I suspect it's gone. I believe some of the more reliable sources (or at least less unreliable sources) said two engines, which I would interpret as the 3.5TT V6 hybrid and non-hybrid versions.
