    Toyota Tundra 8L Diesel Dually

    Say it ain't so

    PRESS RELEASE

    Toyota Tundra Diesel Dually Project Truck
    "Road Warrior" exterior combined with luxury Interior
    10/30/2007

    Making a bold and adventurous statement about the contrasts between rugged "Road Warrior" performance and opulent luxury, a Toyota Tundra CrewMax diesel dually project truck made its debut at the 2007 SEMA Show.

    At its core, the Tundra light duty pickup's stock engine was replaced with a medium duty diesel powerplant plucked from a 35,000-pound commercial truck. The 8.0-liter inline six-cylinder high-torque engine, made by Toyota affiliate Hino, is mated with an Eaton five-speed manual transmission and a Hino back end. Toyota Motorsports Technical Group heavily modified the Tundra to accommodate the beefed-up driveline.

    A host of custom exterior treatments point to the off-the-charts muscle under the hood. Prominent examples include forged aluminum alloy 22.5-inch wheels custom made by Alcoa, a diamond plate-lined bed, a charcoal gray metallic flat paint finish and a fifth-wheel hitch rated at 24,000 pounds.

    The muscular theme on the outside shifts dramatically to that of luxury on the inside with hand-sewn ginger leather seats, suede pillars and headliner and dual rear captain's chairs with individual DVD entertainment systems.

    No kidding. Sweet indeed. How much do you think one of these would have to retail for if it ever went in to production? 60k? 65k? Still sweet, though!

    sweet! but we were kinda hinted this was coming since cat sponsored the toyota car in nascar and 80% of the advertisements for the tundra in any motorsports magazine the tundra was hauling a CAT diesel in the bed while towing a trailer
