diesel may be in the works but don't think you will ever see ethanol in a Toyota
I just received an email from corporate today. If you go to www.toyota.com Sunday, Jan. 7th @ 12:10 EST, Toyota is showing off the new Crew Max and releasing the HP and torque ratings officially on the new Tundra. I'll have my laptop all warmed up and ready! :P
Maybe the Tundra will hit the showrooms earlier , I have been waiting for months like many Edmunds members.
If I like this truck I am getting one ASAP.

V6 4.0L 236 hp
V8 4.7L 271 hp
V8 5.7L 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of TQ
Fuel Economy on the 5.7L:
2WD 16 / 20
4WD 14 / 18
Pricing later this month. Vehicles begin to arrive in early Feb with the CrewMax 30 Days later.
The CrewMax looks pretty good. I like the Double cab better doh.

fast enough.
I was disappointed Toyota didn't release pricing. The Flexfual tid bit for '09 is interesting. I was hoping for some kind of hint on the diesel Tundra also. No such luck this weekend.

2007 C Cab REGULAR BED vs 2006 Access Cab vs 2006 Double Cab
Wheelbase ..145.7" vs 128.3" vs 140.5"
Interior Dim
Head room f/r .. 40.2/38.7 .. vs .. 40.3/38.3 .. vs .. 41.2/40.2
leg room f/r ...... 42.5/34.7 .. vs .. 41.5/28.6 .. vs .. 41.6/37.5
shoulder room f/r .. 66.6/64.7 .. vs .. 62.4/63.2 .. vs .. 62.1/62.2
hip room f/r ...... 63 / 62.6 .. vs .. 59.3/56.6 .. vs .. 59.7/58.3
So, compared to the '06 Access cab, the '07 C-Cab has 1.0" more front leg room, and 5.9' more rear leg room.
Compared to the '06 Double Cab, the '07 C-Cab has a wheelbase that's 5.2" longer, 0.9" more front leg room, and 2.8" less rear leg room.
The CrewMax isn't an option for me since it comes with a 5.5" bed. It looks like the C-cab will likely suit me just fine! Sweet!

Good addition by adding the comparo to the 2006 Double Cab..
To complete the 3-way comparo.
Wheelbases ==> Turning Radius
2007 C Cab ..... 145.7" ==> 44'
2006 Acc Cab .. 128.3" ==> 44.3'
2006 Dbl Cab ... 140.5" ==> 47.0' DING!!!
The new C Cab ( 2007 Double Cab ) is far larger than the prior 2006 Access Cab and is just about the same size inside as the prior 2006 Double Cab but it turns and handles better than the 2006 Acc Cab.
Collabrative post from Ts earlier today.
Engine: 5.7 L V8 32 Valves
Horsepower/torque: 381hp/401 lbs ft torque
Towing: 10,600 lbs
Payload: 2050 lbs
Tires: 18"/20"
Seating: 6
Speakers: 6
Transmission: 6 speed auto.
Let's see Chevy, Ford, and Dodge do that! Toyota Tundra in my eyes will sell around 300k-450k units! Toyota dealership will have the Tundra's in showrooms by January 22, 2007!
Good luck, mine friend.

Two things I don't like--the pod-centric design of the gauge cluster, and the lack of availability of a larger fuel tank. The fuel tank thing is imporant to me, and 26 gallons is not a lot.
Nice truck, though. Head and shoulders above others.

1) Is some of the pictures, the shift handle was on the steering column and some other pictures the shifter is on the floor. I thought it was supposed to be on the floor.
2) In some pictures, the outside mirrors stick waaaaaay out and in some pictures they are closer to the truck.
I'm not going to buy the new Tundra if the mirrors stick that fat out from the vehicle. And I hoped the shifter would be on the floor.

Are they mad that the new Toyota Tundra has 381HP and 401 foot pounds of torque? Are they mad that the new Tundra looks better than any American truck rival? Are they mad that a rice burner company like Toyota has actually and finally built a real truck that should be better and is more powerful than their almighty American made muscle?
And the interior of the Tundra by FAR beats any of the American trucks with their 2 dollar dashboards and crummy fake wood.
Are they mad that Toyota seems to be thriving while the Big 2 and Dodge seem to be folding? Are they just showing their nationilistic prejudice towards a superior company/truck?
I would guess YES on all those questions. Once people jump in the new Tundra they are going to love it and if they don't it's only because of pure nationalistic prejudice.
The Tundra is made in the U.S.A also. Half the American trucks you buy are built in Mexico. How about them apples?
Wow! My head hurts just looking at that sentence.
I am buying one , most likely ordering one .
A Limited , 5.7 L , 4X4 , Salsa Red with a few options : 20" wheels ; Navigation ; Front and Rear sonar ; Moonroof ; Mud Guards ; Running Boards V8 Tow Package ; Cold Weather Package .
I'll have to wait till March that's what I read in Edmunds , I am in no rush.
Hopefully the dealers won't gouge the prices too much !!

I was following the discussion topic and see "2007 Toyota Tundra New Owner's Report" but I don't seem to see any posting from acutal 07 owners.
It seems we have all kinds of specs but no pricing , but if the new Tundra pricing is competitive with the others " 3 " brands I won't mind paying MSRP , for a head to toe new vehicle .
Everything I have read plus all the pictures I have seen about the Tundra I love it.
Of course I need to test drive it for at least 45 minutes city and highway speeds .
Hope the front bucket seats are comfortable for long distance driving.
I will probably end up ordering one so I can get the options I want instead of what the dealer has on the lot.

Don't drive away your clientele by talking and acting like a 7-11 clerk. They are thinking of spending $35-$50K and they expect to deal with someone who is as serious as they are.
Read some of the other forums here at Edmunds. One of the key comments/complaints is that buyers refuse to take salespeople seriously because the typical salesperson
a) generally know nothing;
b) acts like they're just out of high school;
c) isn't serious when a buyer is intending to spend $30-$40K.
Helpful advice. Use it or don't. Don't be surprised though if your comments aren't given much weight if they're not well written and focused.
I will most likely end up getting a new CrewMax loaded between when they hit the showroom and June of 2007 and I guarantee I won't be paying MSRP! Now I don't expect them to be selling them at or near invoice like GM, Ford, Dodge, etc and I have no doubt that many people will end up paying full MSRP for them but to imply that noone will deal on these trucks for a long time is misleading.

One sell at the start could result in 20 later on. Happy customers tell others where they bought, ones who think they got ripped off never refer the salesman to others
With a little work, that could be turned into a cool haiku...

Now, what the heck that has to do with the new Tundra, I have NO idea..... :confuse:
I am looking forward to test drive one of this big boys.

There seems to be some 'discussion' within Toyota about the pricing levels.
with Side airbags and VSC and traction control standard that might mean over all price would be less than 2006 models
