1 Ton Tundra Diesel concept

Here are the pics I took at the SEMA show last week of a 1 Ton Tundra Diesel.

 

Not bad, I like that its an inline 6. But OMG that thing has a fugly rear end.:doah:

 

Not bad but is toyota ever goning to put at least a 6 ft bed on thier crew cabs?

 

A lot of tail pipe after the 90* in the back.

Wonder what parts will become reality?

 

gives a whole new meaning to fat bottom girl. 8.0 liter inline 6 no less.

 

waytogoAny specs on output of that deisel?

That is one butt ugly rearend. Literaly.

 

Leave it up to Toyo to come out with a truck with great looking aluminum wheels and they look like low profile tires. 19.5s?? Look at the rear axle...

 

looks like a 1.5 ton rear end out of one of the Hino Delivery trucks. So basically took the drive train out of a diesel delivery van and stuff it under a tundra.

 

I like an eight foot bed. Wheres the fuel door? imp:

 

I think I found the specs for the engine shown in the pictures.... I found this on the Hino Website and they are reporting the power and torque of their "J" Series J08CTI automotive engine. They are kinda week at...

191 kWs @ 2500 rpm and 745 N-m @ 1500 rpm which converts to ....

256 hp @ 2500 rpm and 550 fl/lb. torque @ 1500 rpm

Considering that we are looking at a 8.0 liter Turbo Diesel Engine, I would say it falls a bit short of the Duramax, Cummins and Powerstroke rigs we drive.

they are probably more true to dyno specs than we are used to seeing. I bet it pulls like a beast. Our trucks dont supply the h\p that they are rated at either. I just wonder if aftermarket will provide some extra ponies?

 

I think for this project they (Toyota) simply grabbed stuff off their medium duty shelf and slapped it in this truck, I'm sure if and when they were to come out with a viable 1-ton truck it would be with a new motor to compete with the big three.

 

My thoughts exactly. In order to be competitive or to make their trucks atractive in the US market their going to have to market something with about the same or more hp/torque than the domestics. With 8 liters theres a good chance of seeing more hp/torque than what we are seeing now. Woudn't that be a good way to sell us power loving Americans a foriegn truck?imp:

 

That Looks Gay

 

I dont see myself being comfortable in there. I also don't see that thing toating a 52' enclosed either. so I will just keep my F350

 

Well with numbers like that I dont think it would sell to well but maybe Toyota wants something folks can really tow with. I have to say that is the largest looking rear diff I have seen in a while...:stir:

 

With a 8.0.L six in it you dought that it could keep up with production trucks? With some tuning(EFI Live anyone?) that thing would be putting a lot of trucks to shame.
