"We wanted a rig we could take to grassroots motorsports events," explains Gary Boler, Business Operations Manager for TRD. "Our concept was to turn a Tundra Double Cab and trailer into a race-support rig to display parts and accessories from the TRD catalog."
For a bold, impressive stance, the team installed a custom suspension along with the necessary driveline components to widen the track at both front and rear by five inches. Next, they added forged 17-inch wheels from TRD and shod them with 37-x12.50-inch tires; electric winches were integrated into the Tundra's front and rear.
"Our favorite feature is the intercooled supercharger we developed," enthuses Boler. "It boosts the output of the Tundra's stock 5.7-liter V8 to approximately 500 horsepower. It's emissions-legal in all fifty states and we hope to offer it as a dealer-installed option soon."

The hauler concept was supposed to come with a diesel, wasn't it?

That is exactly that I like to hear. I cant wait.

I love the bumper. That is what should differentiate between a regular Tundra and a TRD Tundra (bumper,winch's, actual off road tires, etc...).

Its 5 inches wider total (2.5" per side). 5 per side would be way wider looking that that.
