Unlike the Nissan Titan that debuted with just two body styles and one drivetrain configuration, the 2007 Toyota Tundra will have three body styles (standard cab, double cab and crew cab), three bed sizes, three trim levels and three engines. The base 4.0-liter V6 and midlevel 4.7-liter V8 are carryover engines from current models and use a five-speed automatic transmission.
Top-of-the-line Tundras will get a new 5.7-liter all-aluminum V8 with continuously variable valve timing. No power numbers were mentioned, but with the help of a new six-speed automatic, the Tundra will have a maximum towing capacity of over 10,000 pounds. Toyota is also aiming for ULEV (ultralow emissions vehicle) certification for Tundras equipped with the 5.7-liter V8.
Toyota beefed up the rest of the truck by using stronger steel for the frame, a rear axle with a 10.5-inch ring gear, and four-piston brake calipers up front. And unlike the Tacoma, this Tundra has disc brakes in back as well. There are adjustable tie-down points in the bed, and it rides in on a set of 20-inch wheels that will be available from the factory when it goes on sale in January of 2007.

not a bad looking truck. has a dodge look to it.
a tundra with a 5.7 v8 would be nice... wonder about the power ratings. They also mentioned stronger steel frame.. wonder how heavy it'll be?

Another pic...
The number of initial powertrain choices and body configurations is great. I guess this means we can expect a new SUV and/or a redesigned Sequoia soon...that should be interesting.
