Jim – The HD Tundra concept with the huge rims had an 8.0L diesel, but I doubt anything that big would ever make it into a production HD Tundra. As for the 4.5L, that wouldn’t be going head-to-head with a 6.6L Duramax. Instead, it would be going up against whatever diesel GM offers in their 1500. When this article was published, Ford, GM, and Chrysler all had plans for smaller diesels on the drawing board. Today, none of the manufacturers appear to be interested in bringing out a diesel in a half-ton truck – at least not any time soon.

It may look good but its power and capability may be really bad. A 4.5 liter. That is nothing compared to a 6.6 duramax. The rims are 22.5″. Those aren’t capable of towing that much weight because they are so big. The small the rims and wheels the more it can carry.

[...] news: http://www.tundraheadquarters......y-in-2009/ I wonder if they take this leap, if they’ll also offer a TD Taco/Hilux. And maybe even a TD FJC. [...]

Toyota has been devoloping diesel engines since the 1960, models like the Hilux,Fj 40 ,Land Cruiser 60,70,80,90,100,200 series.From 2.2 liters to 4.5liters. The 200 series being the LandCruiser in US, are marketed all over the world with diesel engines, Toyota produces a 4.5 v8 twin turbo diesel engine delivering 282hp and 650nm torque.This engine would be more than suitable for the Tundra , as it delivers enough power and meets all current US Fuel Emission laws.

Jay – Good idea – hopefully Cummins and Toyota are already working on it. The rumor is that Cummins is going to move forward with or without Dodge…but who knows what that means.

With Dodge putting the light duty Cummins V8 and V6 on hold. Cummins should drop Dodge and work with Toyota. Cummins worked with the EPA on both engines for 2010 emissions. Think about it Toyota and Cummins together talk about a truck that will last! Dodge had a bad truck with a great Cummins look how far that went. Put the V8 in Tundra and V6 in the Tacoma WOW! Cummins also has other engines that will work over sea’s with out all the emissions.

Becky – Not anytime soon. No plans for any major enhancements to the Tundra for the next 2 or 3 years.

Ok, no diesel, but Toyota can still make a 3/4 ton.?.

This step by toyota to have an isuzu diesel engine on its vehicles, is a proof that Isuzu is the worlds leading in diesel technology. This is by no means that Toyota is not good on diesel but in my opinion Isuzu are better. Isuzu 4 Ever!!
