The image comes from a print ad running in the current issue of AutoWeek, and the rig pulling the race trailer is a Tundra Double Cab prepared by TRD for heavy hauling. It boasts a custom suspension, 17" wheels wrapped in 37-inch tires, a front end graced by a custom bumper with an integrated winch, and a revised grille surround that deletes that silly fake intake the production Tundras come with. Power comes from a blown version of the truck's 5.7L V8 making 500 horses, and TRD hopes to have that supercharger available as a dealer-installed accessory soon.

 

I'm not sure that picture does it justice.

 

looks alright... the supercharger though... ford better hurry with the hurricane motors

 

o dang that looks bottomed out n/m of a heavy duty truck

 

37" tires on a "heavy hauler"?

...

 

37's will fill any gap on any truck.

Still IFS I see.

 

fords already getting 550 hp out of a blowen 5.4L.

 

interesting looking

 

Is it just me or did anyone else notice the landing gear feet still ON THE GROUND?!?

heavy hauler? yeah, right...

-blaine

 

Not a bad looking rig. I wonder if eventually Toyota throws in a diesel option? It looks more like an offroad racing truck. ( ala Ivan Stewart days )

And?

 

IT IS!!! HAHAHA..... some dude just took off his tailgate and backed up to a trailer. Just like the first part of its name implies, the TOYota Tundra has always been and will always be nothing more than just a TOY.

 

What a TuRD. Nice bumper, though.

 

I was just saying that because, it was talking about the blowen 5.7L producing 500 hp.

 

Shelby is getting 725 hp out of the blown 5.4L in their GT500 Super Snake.
