To Toyota, good luck. Their going to need it.
A 50 MPG truck may be a good thing, but, it will not find buyers..
Have you seen those Ford heavy duty dulleys? Those things are impressive and good..
For Toyota to compete in this field.. they need years like they did with Sedans.. and in this day and age, its do or die.... to win the truck market is not going to be easy,
Look at the new Tahoe's.. Toyota should try deal with that first...
DOD, hybrids coming... 12 Variants on one platform... and that is GM alone.. Ford has how many variants on its F150?
How do you deal with something like Ford & Harley truck?
How do you deal with GMC Denali trucks?
How do you get Basta Rhymes and P-Diddy to show up with a Toyota Duelly on a music video instead of an EXT?
more importantly, how do you get the country music star to bring their band to a Nashville concert in a Tundra.. They would get stoned! shot at even...

Try get Bush to drive a Tundra.. George Bush.. or the FBI to abandon the Suburban for the Sequoia
