The facts bore out when I called the LARGEST dealer of Toyota in the country. The GM told me (when I too questioned the unavailability of the model in question via the Toyota web site) explicitly that the Tundra regular cab is NOT available in 4WD nor V-8.

Solved Now
I just e-mailed the administrator on a Tundra message board, where I threw this question out to, and he wrote me the following:
That is completely false! Toyota sells their vehicles based on your region. You might not be able to get a RC 4X4 5.7 in FLorida, but you can here...but only in Tundra grade, not limited or SR5 . Go on Toyota.com and puch in a different zip code, try 01001.
It ALL depends on WHAT zip code one punches in regarding a "build to order" on Toyota's web site. The dealer I referred to is in Nashville, TN. He told me Toyota does NOT make the truck in question. Which is true for HIM. If one punched in a different zip code, an area Toyota DOES make available this model and its options in question, one WILL get the necessary pricing. The dealer basically LIED to me. Why? I would go some where else in this country, like a zip code of 01001, to get the truck if I was that serious about buying one?
SORRY for the confusion.

This truck is exactly the truck I drove last year, down to the color. I just tried to build it and it is not longer possible. It was possible on the 07. I called the local Toyota dealer and goe a new guy and he is "checking it out for me".
