Toyota Tundra to get Cummins 5.0L V8 Diesel too

[Bigkrank]

Just replaced the company Nissan Titan with a crew cab off road Tundra. Really nice vehicle that likes it's gas. This will be interesting.

Yet another that has my attention. For the time being my 08 Duramax will have to do. I had considered Toyota at one time, but seeing the Tundras around make me think they look light and very chinsey or cheap! Just my opinion, and I am not one that likes any bling on a truck so I don't know what makes them appear that way to me.

I would always wait for a vehicle to be out a few years before I bought one anyway.

Can't do that and buy new anymore. Change motors and models too often nowadays.

That Cummins would be great in a 3/4 ton truck. Personally, that's just too much for a 1/2 ton. I think the 3.0L that Ram has is about the sweet spot in 1/2 ton diesel size.

You probably didn't like 454's in Chevelle's or 428's in mustangs either?

No such thing as too much power.

And the V6's of today will put those gas guzzlers in their place!

I will have to second that fordmantpw! Toyota will be broken in half with that size engine and the torque it puts out.Im not a fan of Toyota or Nissan , they look cheap to me. I wouldn't want one CUMMINS or not. I will stick with Ford, Gm, Dodge . Ive owned all 3 in the past , I no before anybody says anything they have foreign parts etc.... I will still stay with them regardless.

I'd be interested in one for sure. I'd love to see a Cummins or a d-4d make its way into a Tacoma eventually too.

I have owned Toyota trucks and cars for 25 years and have 100% confidence they will roll out a beautiful and beefy truck that will blow the socks off the competition. They make a really dependable product. I don't like buying foreign owned company products either but more than that, I want a dependable truck that won't drive me to drink. Count me as a buyer for the Tundra diesel.

I agree completely. It's a half ton, the diesel is being put in mostly for fuel mileage and still be a great pulling motor. No need to go big displacement for a half ton diesel. It defeats the purpose. I think ram got it right.
