saw an oddball today

I spotted a green T3 edition Tundra today, never knew they made them, it had a pretty sweet grille and stickers on the side.
I looked them up, they made about 850 of them.
Does anyone on here have one?

I thought it wa sa bit cheesy to connect it to Terminator but they did feature a Toyota prominently in the movie and it is a cool truck but it does look like just a grill and stickers and I guess a bit of exclusivity.

They supercharged those suckers? I didn't know they actually made a T3 either. Looks sweet though. I'll have to keep my eye open for one .

And they did show that Toyota's can take one hell of a beating in that movie

I am pretty sure they are not factory supercharged.

direct tie-in with this summer's action film "T3: Rise of the Machines," the Terminator 3 Special Edition package offers unique interior and exterior enhancements such as a full color-keyed appearance package including a custom grille, T3 badging and graphics, fog lamps and 17-inch magnesium-toned alloy wheels. The interior features distinctive Dark Charcoal perforated leather seats, and metallic-appearance interior trim on the dash.

Performance enhancements in the T3 Special Edition include a sport suspension that features Tokico shocks, a limited slip differential, heavy-duty stabilizer bar and a Toyota Racing Development (TRD) dual exit exhaust.

The Tundra T3 Special Edition package is offered on Tundra SR5 Access Cab 4X2 V-8 models in two exterior colors, Black and Imperial Jade Mica. The T3 Special Edition package, which will have a limited production of approximately 850 and will include the SR5-grade Value Package and color-keyed overfenders, will carry a price of $5,585.

DUh.... didnt it occur to you they were on toyotas payroll? the toyota took all that damage and still ran perfectly fine, aside from a starter issue... the caddy hearse took a hit and would barely run. lol.

supercharger was an option.

IIRC, badges, grille, stainless dual exhaust, colour keyed trim.
