Amazing what being profitable does for your ability to bring out a product as broad of scope as a full-sized pickup in the domestic makers' vein. The new Tundra will be available with 3 engines (4.0l V-6, 4.7l V-8, and a new 5.7l V-8 of unspecified hp and torque - but expected to be the most powerful V-8 in any full-sized pickup). Towing capacity is stated to be up to 10000 lbs.

In case you were wondering how this new, bigger Tundra stacks up against its competition...here's how it looks to us (stats are currently only available for the Tundra 4x4 crew-cab - so that's what we used to put together this chart). We ignored the Dodge Ram Mega-Cab since that beast is a class of its own (we used the 4x4 quad-cab instead).
Toyota Tundra | Nissan Titan | Ford F-150 | Chevy Silverado | Dodge Ram | |
Length | 228.7 | 224.2 | 235.8 | 230.2 | 227.7 |
Width | 79.9 | 78.8 | 78.9 | 78.5 | 79.6 |
Height | 76.4 | 76.7 | 76.0 | 78.5 | 76.5 |
Wheelbase | 145.7 | 139.8 | 150.5 | 143.5 | 140.5 |
Bed Length | 78.7 | 67.1 | 78.8 | 69.2 | 76.3 |
Bed Width | 65.0 | 63.8 | - | 61.9 | 66.4 |
Width between wheelwells | 50.0 | - | 50.0 | 50.0 | 51.0 |
Bed Depth | 22.3 | 19.9 | 22.2 | 19.5 | 20.2 |
Unfortunately, it remains to be seen exactly how the interior room, hp, fuel economy, and other stats (like price) stack up against the competition.
