Default Re: 4.5L Diesel on 2010 Tundra

Just give me a Tundra with a 2000-2500# payload and I'm happy. Unless the premium that diesel costs over gas comes down, it probably isn't going to make economic sense unless you tow A LOT. Given gas prices, it might be smarter to offer a small truck that can handle a lot of weight- like the old T100 that had a 2000# payload. Why not introduce a Tacoma with a 2000# payload for people who would like to be able to haul (even slowly) but don't have the need on a daily basis. A lot of folks use their truck to commute, but need capacity on the weekends. I bet they are more common than those that really need a big payload/towing diesel.
