Diesel Tundra

[spencevans]

Well it looks like Toyota is close to giving the green light for a diesel Tundra. The Tundra would share the 5.0 V8 Cummins Diesel with the Titan. Does it get any better than a Toyota Pickup with a Cummins engine? All my dreams may come true.

I think it's cool to see the manufactures offering diesels in the 1/2 ton pickups, I wonder what it will do to the price of diesel

If they would put it in the old body style, I would like it a lot more. I am still trying to get used to the new Tundra body style.

I don't believe it. They keep going back and forth on it. As of 3 months ago they had totally scrapped the diesel idea. I was going to wait for one but one of the high up guys at Brent brown said it was definitely a no go.

But if it is true if still like to get one.

Toyota insiders aren't exactly confirming this... yet.

Toyota should build their own diesel,to compete with the big three.....then I would be impressed.A v style cummin's??? The inline six is where it's at,just sayin.I would also like to see smaller diesel's in rig's like oversea's but that will never happen.

I would certainly be interested in one. Been looking at the new body styles but haven't made the jump. But a lot can happen in 2 years, especially since it's not officially confirmed.

Toyota has a variety of viable diesel engines in markets outside the US between their Toyota and Hino offerings. The V8 turbo diesel (also available as a twin-turbo in the 200 Series) 1VDFTV is a rock solid motor, very smooth operation and while it isn't a 'big 3' style diesel it is more fuel efficient and thusfar reliability seems on par with a Toyota product.



Tried to smuggle this one home in my luggage

I had an old LUV diesel a while back and was getting about 35mpg. (4-wheel drive, 225/75/15 tires) I would love something smaller that got great fuel economy again.
