Why waste time and money on a Hybrid when diesel is already here? Toyota's mistake was not launching the 4.5 TDi at the same time as the 5.7L. It's cyclical and once the 4.5 is launched Tundra will be back on track.
It's not the end of the world - yet

doubt strongly diesel sell's will take off this is not the direction on thing's to come.Personally i don't like Diesel and don't see a point on spending a little more vs gas esp if the saving's takes a wile to add up. Don't get me wrong there is a need for the towing group but it's a small percent of people wanting them.I agree Toyota is late and should have been offered in 2007 but with cafe standards the demand's is changing on requirements.
I Think Toyota sat down and had a meeting about this if i recall from the report's.
