I have a contact who works at Toyota HQ(USA), that states the next Tundra and variations of it will be powered by an engine no smaller than 6.0L-V8 and 400 HP/450 ft-lbs of torque. Unless there will be two engine options available, a 5.5L or a 6.0 L V8? Toyota has been eyeing the F-250/F-350 market for a while, so in order to compete at this end of the market they will also need a V10 option!

Hopefully things will change with the next generation Tundra.

That would be awesome! A truck like the Tundra needs a steel chrome bumper. The 00-02 are the pinnacle of Tundra design currently because it has a chrome bumper. The 03 and up bumpers look to ungainly and plasticky.
The new Tacoma is a fantastic looking truck, and to keep that family resembelence going into the Tundra is a good thing.
I don't so much need a lock on the gas door as to have a release on the inside of the vehicle like many cars. On my Accord, its a dual action lever for the trunk and fuel door that can be locked so that the valet key can't unlock it. On my wife's RAV4, the fuel release is on the inside. Not to mention this means the fuel door is flush with the vehicle and doesn't have flange sticking out for your finger.
One downside of the "no flange" fuel door, which I discovered the hard way, is if you're parked outside in an ice storm. This happened to me once - fuel door froze over, inside release couldn't break the ice seal, and I needed gas desperately. It's MUCH easier to get that puppy open if you've got a flange - you can chip away at it.

As to your question of locking the vehicle if there's nothing in it, yes I do. It's an old force of habit, I always lock my cars and leave the windows up (except for a crack during the summer, combined with the moonroof tilted to let hot air escape), even if I park in a secure garage. Always have, always will.
I still still holdong out for the 2006 model maybe a Diesel version.. See if your contact knows anything new with 2006 since they will be building them in San Antonio Texas..
I'd like to see a 'Yota Dualie!
The want to sell 230k by the end of 2008.

The current plants will have to build the new Tundra. The Texas plant is to increase production in the U.S. by at least 100,000 Tundras per year. So if Toyota does roll out the new Tundra in the fall of this year, expect VERY limited supply. Otherwise, I'd expect it in the spring or fall of 2006.
Spring of '06

HD V10 Diesel?
I'm assuming that they'll have extended and crew cabs. Will there be a standard cab as well?

Nice plug though(forum rules?), too bad we all don't live near Phoenix.
This discussion is about the 2006 Tundra. You might have some luck on our Speed Shop: Tuning & Modification board. There's a discussion about modifying exhaust systems, which might be helpful to you. You might also want to visit our Toyota Tundra discussion for current model years.

Horsepower will come from a V-TTI V8 engine. Ill bet you the 4.7 liter engine is going to be the basic engine.
