At this year's SEMA Show, Toyota had a nice surprise for all of us big truck fans; a 2008 Toyota Tundra Diesel Dually CrewMax concept. Toyota tells us, "This fantasy Tundra was built to accommodate a Hino eight-liter inline six high-torque powerplant, mated with an Eaton five-speed manual transmission. Exterior cues include a Crewmax cab joined to a 6'5" bed, 22.5-inch
wheels custom made by Alcoa, a diamond plate-lined bed and a charcoal gray metallic flat paint treatment.
Inside, the truck features a hand-sewn ginger-colored full leather interior with wool carpets and suede headliner. The Tundra Diesel Dually is a study in contrasts that demonstrates Toyota's commitment to exploring new ideas."

Load the link and see the photo's - looks like the twin turbo 4.2 Toyota 200 series might have some real competition - from another Toyota!
Makes an interesting read with pages of neat photos!
No doubt we will never see one downunder!
Cheers

Sorry Bud
Lost on me! What purpose would it serve? Maybe an ego?

A nice diamond studded turnstile in the tray and a 5th wheeler colour coded may be the go....

The Yanks love this stuff. Every second redneck drives a 7ltr truck(ute). In the land of the free, there is definitely to much choice.
For what it is a concept vehicle, I like it (must be a redneck too)

It's simple really it's a concept vehicle, it's not designed for production it's simply giving designers a bit of free rein to explore their abilities just like Ford did with their 2 door Falcon a couple of years ago and Holden did with their Effigy street rod.
