There may soon be some "import" law on the Tundra to make more income taxing them since they're selling.

I think the market for this truck is California, where a certain percentage of fleet vehicles MUST be alternatively powered. TXTee – I hear that.

I might BARELY roll into the parking lot at work if the truck will only go 40 miles much less a cross country trek which happens at least 2x a year.

This 40 mile range is insufficient. For the 2.5 - 5 hour charge time is way too long to use the vehicle. This is not to mention how much more your electric bill goes up to pay for that whopping 40 miles and even less if you try to go 105 mph. If everyone would cross over to this our over burden electric grid can't handle it. It barely handles what we're using now on hot days. I don't see the advantage. You want to impress me increase the mpg's to over 30mpg utilizing this hybrid technology and I will trade my Crewmax in for one. I'll be glad to be the guinea pig to test it. With over 62,000 miles on mine and it will be 2 years old next week. Talk is cheap. Now do the Walk and impress us. If Toyota wants to get into this they need to get with the real deal Hybrid.
