The best part? It looks like the truck market recovery is beginning...which means Toyota might just put the diesel Tundra back on the operating table. Crossing my fingers!

Once it is in production on enough vehicles it become cost effective to place it in the entire line. Until then the tech will remain in the high dollar units.

My brain is just wired funny. I am sort of a Rat Fink kind of guy. If you don't know the character, look it up. That is the inner me all the way. Oh….the fuel mileage gain is worth it.

The tundra would then be comparable and still slightly faster and more powerful than a 5.3L V8 chevy silverado. The new 4.6L V8 only gets 2 mpg increase and is darn near at that 60 less hp/torque, but still not the 5mpg getting 22 mpg hwy. I would like. Don't tell me the technology is not there, it is, mfgs. just choose not to use it until forced to. 60 hp and torque less for a 5 mpg hwy. gain is worth it.

Plus my Tundra costed less than my Highlander.....and they were purchased 4 years apart. So yes it's worth it to me to have a truck.
