If they do that, I know some F250 owners who will be more than happy to buy a Tundra.
As per new car intro a few months ago, a hybrid option was to be offered and no diesel......but I guess we'll see.nh00gts said:I heard the term diesel thrown around and the report i read said no hybrid (can't get it to work the way they want it to) so i am excited about the new Tundra..
arouth said:nh00gts......what report did you read that said the hybrid version was not working out??
nh00gts said:I believe I read it on autoblog.com. I have been trying to find the article ever since I posted so i could link to it but i can't seem to remember where I found it. All the article basically said was that they aren't meeting the power and towing expectations they had set for themselves with a hybrid and are looking towards the possibility of a diesel. I was also informed by a local Toyota dealership that a diesel was possibly in the new version along with a plow prep package of some sort.

That is what the work truck market demands. If Toyota is serious about competing they will produce a Tundra that can do that and more.
