my impression: i hope they offer hydraulic rear/side lifts to allow one to put anything into the truck bed.

edit: and from the side, the truck bed is approximately 1/4 of the entire length of the truck. sounds useful (not).

Looks like the greenhouse is the same ... looks like the bed is the same. I'm guessing just a grille upgrade and some suspension tweaks?

The end of next week it will be shown off at the Chicago Auto Show.

2014? Didnt they just redo this truck? Guess it wasnt as great as they made it out to be.

How about an optional "tommy gate" lift to get items in and out of the bed.

These pickup truck designers are complete idiots with their views on what a pickUP truck should look like.

I would say the bed is 1/3 the length of the truck.

Its looks like the front got a face lift (different headlights and what not) maybe they are going for more of a aerodynamic look.

Still waiting on the 2014 Tacoma redesign. Needs V8 engine option, 6 spd auto and rear disc brakes.

 

[stevejones]

If the camo is supposed to hide the good looks of the redesign, it's doing a great job

 

[mikered30]

Wonder if they will ever go diesel?

The current Tundra has been unchanged since 2007 AFAIK.

Comparing the roof line, windows, and pillars this 'new' Tundra CrewMax looks very similar to the current 2nd gen Tundra CrewMax. I'm guessing a facelift but not a complete re-design.

I willing to bet the bed length is the same 5.5' as the current CrewMax. Most 1/2 ton crew cabs have this length box (Ford does have a 6.5' option and believe GM's next gen pickup will also offer this).

For some reason, and I think it's the steelies, when I first say the pics I thought "Ridgeline".

Well then time sure flies! It was 2008 when they had those goofy commercials of the truck going up-and-down ramps, and stopping at the edge of the Grand Canyon?

Where have my years gone?

At least the tundra seems to be built in the USA...

From Wiki:
In the spring of 2008 Toyota moved all Tundra production to the Texas plant.[citation needed] All Tundra engines and transmissions are built in the United States.[citation needed] As sales fell in 2008, production of Tundra at San Antonio stopped for three months.[

revealed. hideous only begins to describe my thoughts. the grill is terrible. the bed actually looks interesting, but again its completely unproductive.

[OVERKILL]

Well the interior again looks to be HEAVILY inspired by the F-150.......

 

[VNTS]

Looks the same to me, other than the ugly grill.

engine line up doesnt look that spectacular either.
