If nothing was on and drawing power then you've got a bad battery.
There were a few reports on TS of bad "out of the box" batteries on the 2007s.
Your dealer should be able to test it and provide you with a new one under warranty.

i agree with mx. and the chances of getting a bad battery in an 07 are great as many 07s sat on dealers lots for months and months w/o moving before being sold.
You can disconnect your negative cable from the battery then use the test light to hook it (in line)one end to the cable and one end to the negative battery post. Now you can check by open any door you can see the test light will light up then when you close the door it will slowly dim down and off, if the light doesn't go out you have a draw some where.
When I was installing my audio system, I would disconnect the battery whenever I was pulling wires or splicing anything. Every time I hooked it back up it was dead. I would unhook both terminals and it would still die. Once I jumped it and let it run it would fine, but still shouldnt be dying like that.
That has absolutely nothing to do with the bad lot of batteries shipped to Toyota.

If you had a new vehicle, would you expect to have to purchase a new battery after a year or so? I would say say no. Any battery that I have had on a new vehicle has lasted a few years. Take it back to the dealer and make them deal with it. If the vehicle was a few years old, I would have a different stance.
I talked with a guy at GM a long while back about batteries and he said almost every company specs a 3-year OEM battery so it should just make it past the warranty. This means that the OEM batteries are the cheapest of the cheap and prone to failure much more often. Of the last 6 vehicles I've had, 2 required new batteries in less than 3 years. 2 out of 6 is pretty bad. And the foreign cars were no better than the American ones.
Dealing/Buying new Chevy's every 2 years for over 25 years its very common to go thru 3-4 Delco's before the Warranty expires.
I put 4 Delcos in my 01 Camaro in 3 Months !!
I depend on my vehicles and if you dont have fire in the wire you dont roll.
The Optima I have in my Tundra is nearly 6 yrs old its already been in 3 other New Chevy's during this time. I put those cheap WalMarts in the Chevy's on trade in
As already mentioned automotive production lines use the cheapest ingrediants allowed,be it oil,tires or battries.
You want the good stuff you have to pay extra.
The longer you own these Tundras the more you'll come to relize their nothing near what their hyped up to be. Sad to say but their no different then Cheverolet

I wiill completely agree that other batteries are better, but as a new vehicle owner if your battery craps out on you...that is on the dealer! I ripped la few things out of my Tundra already and understand that factory parts are minimal. For the average vehicle owner, the battery should last a few seasons and that was my point.
