Art I’m with you on that. I want a true Hybird truck from Toyota. My wife has the Prius and when GM came out in 06 with that so called Hybrid truck I was amazed. Like 90% of the people they thought like I it was about mpg’s. Well it wasn’t. It had two plug receptacles in the bed which the Hybrid ran. This way a contractor can run his tools without a need for a gas generator or electrical power to do it. Now last year I went to the new car show and seen what GM was talking about the Hybrid. Now they were talking about mpg’s on the Silverado and on both the Tahoe and Suburban. Both Tahoe and Suburban mpg’s still was 20mpg on the hwy. I get that now with my 7,000lb crewmax truck. The truck only got 22mpg hwy. I get that also. The sticker price was a shocker. I don’t see where the savings pay for it.

I have to agree with Jason. Where is the brave bunch that made this company what it is today. I’ve been in the market for a 1/2 ton pickup for two years now. But, I won’t buy anything until the Tundra Diesel is produced. My neighbor is in the same boat. He’s also hoping for the Tundra Diesel.

Let’s go Toyota, what are you waiting for. Put out a diesel Tundra and you won’t regret it.

I wonder why Toyota hasn’t considered a hybrid set up? I came close to considering the GMC Hybrid pick up. It’s the only full size pick up that qualifies under the Cash for Clunkers program. But I backed out due to 1. It’s still a GM product and 2. The cost. I would have bought a hybrid tundra in a “heart beat”.

I had a nice long post yesterday and hope it didn’t get held in moderation. Anyway, basically agreed that this was a great thread that brought about the need for diversity in cab/bed options. And I joined Tundrasolutions since I’m going to a meetup but I DO like to speak my mind and I’m not paying to be a member so we’ll see how it goes.

MK I still have access in Tundrasolutions but will never visit that site for I’m not about to pay for information on the Tundra. To me they are a rippoff and not intrested in helping a Tundra member.

This thread has brought out great points in the needs of versatility and styling, even in trucks. I have 8′ not for construction but I haul my motorcycle(s) and definitely wanted all the room possible. There’s no way I’m leaving a tailgate down with precious cargo, like MK said. Bed extender, good option, but not what I wanted. I travel too far from the Gulf Coast to the West Coast and back and have more than just the motorcycle in the bed. I don’t tote passengers on a regular basis besides the dog, so the rear is large enough when I have adult passengers. Sometimes I wish I had the roll down back window but I can overcome that since my car nor SUV has that option!

I’ll have to be careful on solutions.com. LOL I like to speak my mind so I’ll keep you posted if I get banned. Back to the point, it would be interesting to see if Toyota would do any mods for the cab/bed options…..

Mickey,

It was not on tundratalk.net, but on tundrasolutions.com where tundradrenalin (admin.) called me a troll from a bowtie website and stated all my posts are negative. I even said I love the tundra’s tranny, pulling power, and engine, but thought a few components are subpar compared to other 1/2 ton trucks on the market like the tailgate, etc. Nothing like telling the truth and getting banned for it.

I even said I’m sorry, but I really feel he should be apologizing to me since he attacked me and I never once attacked another viewer or an admin., just issues dealing with 07′ on up Tundras which is what these websites are all about – sharing information on the new Tundra’s whether good or bad to help each other out.

“Pardon Miseur, I Forte”

Mk this wasn’t on TundraTalk.net? I know they have alot of differences but the Admin side stays out of it unless it gets heated. IBTO I haven’t seen that there either but it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
