I like it, it just needs bigger tires!

I wonder how much those will cost...probably mid $40's!!

Well, the double cab is supposed to be around $40k. Considering that the craftsman truck there is an actual NASCAR racing truck, it probably won't be available for sale. You could have one built, but it'll be in the six figure price range.

nope, at least the Craftsman Truck isn't old news. It was officially announced today that Toyota will be in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series next year. They didn't name any drivers yet. I think they will do really well. I can't wait until they get into The Winston Cup Series, or what ever it will be called by that time.

Both Tundras look pretty good, I just wonder who is copying who...



I also wonder if the Tundra will have any bed-length options?

Definitely not old news.....any word on the release date of the 4-door? I've been waiting for that model to replace my Runner.

Hmmmmmm.....$40k for the truck and $5K for the S/C........I think I can make it happen!!!

I wonder if this is the one-ton variant with a 5.5-liter V-8 that has been promised to dealers.

I can just see the posts now:

"I want to do a 5.5 swap into my 1st gen 4Runner, will it work?"

The D-Cab Tundra looks great. It's making me kind of jealous.

There was a double page insert in the USA Today sports section. It is supposed to be bigger, wider and longer than the current Tundra. I like it.

On www.autonews.com in the future vehicle section it has a true 1-ton Tundra with a 5.5L by 2004 by 2007 they are gonna fully redesign it.

I can see the post now can I, will it fit, what do I need

Lets not forget all the 3rd, 2nd and 1st gen owners who are gonna swap in the 4.7L V8 and new 4.0L V6 from the 4th Gen 4Runner, but now the 4th Gen owners can try swapping in the 5.5

actually loosehead.... if you go back when the t100 first came out, toyota first sued ford for using the similar design curves for their f series...

then the tundra came out and ford tried to sue toyota for using the similar design curves as their f-series...

so the way i look at it, if ford originally dubbed their f - series from the t100, and you know that the tundra is a evolution of the t100, then it must be that the current f-series is a copy of the tundra... so makes sense that even though it might look like the tundra is copyin the f-series, isn't it really the other way around?

just to ass some chaos! hehe

but in the end, you know that even though both truck may look alike, the TOYOTA will definitely kick the living daylights out of any other fullsize truck. i mean for the price u can't get something better than that .... also reliability issues come in to play... buying toyota will guarantee that it will outlast any other big 3!!!

i think everyone will attest to that much! now if you start lookin at the larger full size then the tundra is nothing but you know that they're working on it! hehe
