The new Tundra is a bigger truck. The Tundra's wheelbase has been stretched 10 inches to 138.3 inches on the standard cab. The wheelbase on the Double Cab is 150.5 inches. The overall length grows about the same amount, ranging from about 228 to 240 inches. A new 5.7-liter V-8 joins the engine lineup. That engine should make more than 300 hp and be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. It will join the current engines - a 4.0-liter V-6 that was rated at 236 hp for 2006 and a 4.7-liter V-8 that was rated at 271 hp. Towing capacity rated at more than 10,000 pounds. Three trim levels - base, SR5 and Limited - and three cab configurations, including the Double Cab. The options list will include a rearview backup camera and Bluetooth connectivity for cellular telephones.

There's something about these new trucks that throws me off.

It's something with a shorter or taller front clip. The Dodge Rampage (or Rage?) concept has it going on too. Maybe it's the gigantic fender gap all around the wheel.

LOL they need to stick to cars. Although they are getting there, they still don't look as good as the domestic trucks. IMO

nice. i was wondering whether toyota was going to step it up w/ the new tundra. apparently so. not too easy on the eyes, though.

but 300hp, 6-speed tranny, pulls 10,000 lbs, toyota build quality and reliability? sign me up. i don't want a pretty truck; i want one that works. too bad it'll probably be a fortune. give me an old dodge w/ a cummins I6...w00t!
