This is true.
The 4.5 should be able to manage 3/4 ton expectations though. All I want out of Toyota is a rig in 4 wheel that can handle an Alaska Camper Ten Foot Alaskan Pickup Truck Camper the RV of Choice for sale and be able to haul a light weight jet sled.

How would you expect the outlook/market for Toyota trucks to change if I predicted gas around $3.00 by January 2009? I bet the new Tundra would turn out to be a good decision for Toyota after all.
