Hmmmmmm.....
When I was checking out the 07 Tundra recently...my dealer insisted that my 04 DC has a 5 speed....so much so that he went outside to check it. Then came in and said mine didn't have it (duh....I think I might have noticed!) but it was an option in 04.......if so, I wish I would've known.....I think that would be a great feature on my truck!
Next time....next time...... :devil:
(So maybe it was an option on the '04's?)

there have always been manual tranny options... only for the V6's though. Toyota never made a 4.7 with a manual transmission.
I know that...but he's referring to the 5-spd AUTOMATIC transmission not the 5-spd manual!

Figures....the dummazz even said "Look....that's where the button would go" pointing to a spot on the dash near the 4 way flasher button....

I am looking at a 04 and the engine is badged as a iforce and the tailgate has the same badge on it. The truck shows a manufacture date of 11/03 on the door. Still not sure on the number of gears in the tranny, but looks like the motors were upgraded in 04 to me.
Its the old engine with the 4spd. VVTI didnt come out till 05

THE 5 SPEED MAKES THE BIG DIFFERENCE WHEN TOWING. NOT SO MUCH THE HSPWR WHICH IS ONLY 283. TORQUE IS THE IMPORTANT #.THE TUNDRA WITH THE 4 SPD DOESNT PULL WELL BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND.
You would probably have to run a 05+ ecu too.... not worth it imo. If you want a tranny upgrade, id go with the ITP valve body upgrade
