I dunno....Toyota should think serously about building it. I think they could really steal some market share from Ford and Dodge with a truck like that.

Man, I love that color! Stealthy HUGE rigs make me smile.

I'd buy one...

Gotta go next year for sure!

Would love to myself, but then you have to miss watching the wee ones in unbecoming garb marvel at strangers handing out candy at night, and watching the smrik across their face and pure delight running around on sugar high once a year.

What color is that? Anyone know? It does look sharp.

I'm digging the matte finish also..

I still think the new tundra looks like a crappy Dodge Ram knockoff. This, while a bit cooler from a mechanical standpoint, still fails to get me excited about the Tundra.
