An extra 5-6 grand for a true 2500 series Diesel Toyota would have GM, Ford, and Dodge sh!tting bricks. I'd get one. . .
If it's rated as a 3/4 ton instead of a gvw of 7000 or 7200 and more like 8500 to 9000 gvw I would buy one for 5-6000 more . But i doubt the truck with the 4.5 L diesel will be rated for any more then the current tundra so 5-6000 just to get a diesel is not worth it .
