TUNDRA SEQUOIA DIESELs CONFIRMED

[allmotoronly]

why in the world would that not allow me to back up to a trailer? i cant see around my megacabs hardly either or the ford before that. what would be the big deal about an 8.0 either. the old ford had a 7.4 and i got a wholelot better mpg than my 6.0 ever did. and the new durge is 6.8 liters and it still gets 20 or better like my 5.9 does now. i mean by your math i guess there's no way my 7.0 liter vette with over 500+whp can't get 26 mpg either huh? but it does!!!

sorry if i took this wrong, but it hit me the wrong way

He was talking about the fact that the hino 8.0L is only rated at like 8mpg. Its a commercial engine. I'm sure if that engine ever did find its way into a production tundra, they would have to do something to raise the fuel economy. Toyota needs to just go with the cat C7 engine like they originally were going to. It's a 7.2L 6cyl that makes 300hp and 860 lb-ft torque.

cat diesel would be just stinking awesome. and on the hino, who knows what it would get with a better geared allison and rear end thats not a 6:55 or even lower on a 12-20,000gvwr rated vehicle. the original 7.4 fords were only in school buses, large uhaul trucks.....you get the idea. but then in a 8200lbs dually like i had got 19-21 mpg on the hwy.

like i said maybe it just hit me the wrong way. but towing is what i'm all about to go to races and i live and breathe diesel so i know a lil more than the average guy. not everything, but alot. not to mention, take yota entering the full size market as they did. bigger displcement, best in class hp, and get 20 mpg all day long. noone else in the gas market even comes close especially in their crewcab high hp version. please dont give me i have a friend, the toyota shows the mpg on the sticker. or you can check consumer reports. and i dont even know if i'll buy one, but if it will make ford and chevy step up their games on the mpg, we'll all have greater choices!!!!
