GM of Toyota dealership and an accountant at corporate office I speak with often, nothing on the internet is verified and apparently no one knows what's going on with Tundra. As I do love my Tundra and 5.7 motor, its time for something. The kicked everyones butt in 2007 and havent made changes since.
This is what I wanted to hear. I want a tundra but the dated look/ interior and bad gas milage have held me back. Hopefully they don't plaster the name on the tailgate like the others.
30 mpg sounds really high. Ford already has the same engine essentially. It can get low to mid 20’s if your really conservative on the pedal. Interested to see if it can actually get 30
It's a give and take on vehicles like that. 30 log, but in a regular cab 2wd with cylinder deactivation. Not saying it has then, since I haven't read any of the articles yet, but it seems too far fetched.
Will they finally redesign the truck? I haven't been interested in a Tundra for years because it's a tired design. If they do a major overhaul other than than just a new engine than I'll be interested.
Like have a truck bed that will fit more than a dog kennel in it?
Last I read was '22....and no way in hell would I jump in on an initial motor release. I'll let somebody else be the guinea pig until they get all the bugs worked out.
This right here. I was a guinea pig once. Never again.

From what I understand it is not actually a totally new engine design. It is based on one of the already existing engines in a Lexus model with some mods added. At least that's the way I understood it.
Someone mentioned this on a comment on another thread so I looked it up to see if it was true. Sure enough, it looks like a new 3.5 Liter Twin Turbo is in the works for the next generation Tundra in '21. Rumors are that it will produce 450 horsepower with 500 pound feet of torque and get around 30mpg. If this does happen, I will seriously consider buying one.
For that power and mpg, probably some hybrid design. Volvo has some twincharged 4 cylinders that are 300 hp and 30mpg, and I know mercedes has some 400hp straight sixes that are turboed and utilize an electric motor for launching and near 30 mpg.

I am, been waiting on this for a min now.
The last release was pretty much bombproof from the jump.
Don't mix Toyota up with the other idiots .
