DETROIT — Toyota expects to formally pull the wraps off its redesigned 2007 Tundra pickup in early January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The full-size truck gets a ground-up overhaul and goes into production in early 2006 at an all-new assembly plant in San Antonio, Texas.
The 2007 Tundra will get a more contemporary styling treatment, with cues lifted from Toyota's 2004 FTX concept truck. There's a new double-cab model coming as well, but probably not until calendar 2007.
Toyota reportedly is readying an all-new twin-cam V8 engine for the new truck, displacing around 5.5 liters and producing more than 300 horsepower. It is also expected to offer a hybrid gas-electric variant for model-year 2008.
A full range of body styles, bed choices and powertrain configurations will make the new Tundra one of the most powerful Japanese-brand competitors yet for Detroit's big pickups.
What this means to you: Choices, choices and more choices — that's Toyota's focus in the full-size truck market with its redesigned '07 Tundra.
