Spy shots: 07 Tundra

[ifcar]

Prototypes of Toyota?s next generation Tundra pick-up are currently undergoing last cold weather testing in North America before the new model?s launch at the 2006 Chicago Motor Show.

The Tundra came first on the market in 1999, and the new model to come will be an all new vehicle. The 2007 Tundra will be bigger, more powerful and will offer new styling and engine configurations. This all-new Tundra will be built in America at both Toyota Motor Manufacturing in Indiana and the new San Antonio,Texas plants.

Looks very similar to the Dodge Ram.  

[TBR]

Indeed it does.

[280Z Turbo]

Does that suprise anyone? The Japanese got where they are by taking vehicles from other manufacturers and making them better!

[Catman]

I'm surprised to see a standard cab.  It looks like Toyota is finally going to offer a variety of configurations.  The proportions look very good.

:blink:

They've offered a regular cab from the very beginning.

Edited.

I want one!

No.  I don't.

Looks quite toned down from that concept truck that was shown a while back.

The concept looked really ugly to me, and there was little doubt in my mind that they'd tone it down. This looks big, and looks like it was styled to look big, but that's all I can tell. I don't forsee me caring a whole lot about it, but maybe it won't be unattractive.

Yeah, I know but I suspected it would be dropped.  And this is the first time they've attached a short bed to it I believe.

Is that a Toyota released picture? It is clearly Ram influenced, but it still looks fairly unique. I like it, though I don't know how good it will look in 4x4/Prerunner trim.

[JYODER240]

Looks alot like a Ram in the front.

[Catman]

Looks great in my opinion.  Compared to the Titan it appears to have a much nicer finished appearance.  There's some blurry areas around the lights that do look suspicious though. :blink:  

[ifcar]

I'm pretty sure it's not a Toyota image, but it certainly looks plausible considering the concept and the spy shot.

Word is that the interior will be the most innovative aspect of this truck.  Supposedly, it is going to bring space efficiency to a new level.  We'll see Feb 9th. :mellow:

Are they showing a new Sequoia at the same time?

[Catman]

Are they showing a new Sequoia at the same time?

That's a good question.  I don't know but I'm going to try and find out.  Hope the Sequoia gets the same front end.

The shape of the back of the cab and front of the box looks like it was ripped off the last generation F-150, and I am in agreement that the front end is completely Ram inspired.  I wish they could come up with an attractive original design rather then a ripped off attractive design.  I will say though that it is definitely more attractive then the Titan.  I'm also glad to see that it isn't so overstyled as the Tacoma.

There's only so many ways to style a pick-up truck.  Personally, I think it has a look all its own.  The Dodge's are much more unique as far as the grille and the front fenders.





Nah, totally different.

If that's the real thing, then thumbs up to Toyota.

I agree, but Dodge, Ford, GM, and Nissan all have unique looking 1/2 tons.  The F-250 and F-350 were definitely inspired by Dodge, but even they look different from the inspiration.  I think people could mistake that Toyota front end for a Dodge.  I mean even the line of the raised portion of the hood is so similar to the Dodge it's not even funny.  Oh well, I won't be buying one so I don't care.

i was never a fan of past midsize and large toyota pick-up trucks, but this one looks pretty cool  B)  ! i always liked their suv's! don't worry, catman ^_^ !!!  

[so cal cookie]

The spyshots showed an F-150 like bed, but that's about the only similarities between other trucks I see.  
In the shot of the blue one, the only other truck I can think of when I see it is Tacoma.  I don't see anything else. :mellow:  

[crv16]

Looks pretty good.  My only nit to pick at this time is the headlights.  They seem, well, too Japanese - squinting eyes.  Put on some larger, Ram-like headlights.

Those tires NEED to make production.

It's like cheating on the "my truck is manlier than yours" contest.

[TBR]

I suspect those are fake, or of a different vehicle. Hollywood extra's "spy shots" are never accurate.
