Replying to: paisan (Jan 14, 2008 3:07 pm) I think all manufactures have their issue with certain models. If I remember correctly the sludge issue w/ the Camry and Sienna was mainly due to consumers not changing their oil at the recommended intervals. As for the camshafts on the new 5.7 lite Tundra. I think I remember reading that it was only about 2,000 or so units out of 170k sold for '07 that were effected. I am hoping that enough people will plead Toyota into building this "concept" vehicle. I know darn well they've already got things in the works. They always seem to be ahead of the "bell curve" so to speak. They just need to know they can sell enough of these units to make it a production vehicle. (see $$$) Toyota has finally taken a step in the right direction with the new Tundra. The T100 did not fit the American truck buyers expectations. The 2000 to 2006 Tundra wasn't cutting the mustard either. Great truck it didn't have the capabilities that the American truck buyer wanted. That's not to say they really needed it. I know of a lot of people who are retired and are looking for a diesel to tow large 5th wheels and travel trailers with slide-outs. A 1/2 ton gas powered full sized p/u just isn't enough. A 1 ton or atleast a 3/4 ton diesel Toyota Tundra would show the truck buyer that Toyota surely can build a truck! They build large delivery trucks overseas with diesels. They've got the technology...now just build the damned thing. Replies to this message: paisan (Jan 14, 2008 7:33 pm) paisan (Jan 14, 2008 7:35 pm)

#8 of 9 Toyota Annouces "Clean" Diesel for 2010-2011 by 1972ck Jan 26, 2008 (6:56 am)
The President of Toyota Motor Corp. announced the other day at a press conference that Toyota will indeed build the diesel Tundra for the '10-'11 MY. It will be powered by a new "clean diesel" technology. I am guessing sequential direct injection and new catalyst technology in the exhaust manifold. Can't wait for 2010 to get here now. Something to look forward to.
