ok, i've got to jump in on this. I would have bought a tundra instead of a T100 except for one reason: Toyota failed to offer the v8 with a manual transmission!!!

Really, I hope toyota comes out with some freakishly powerful diesel that will blow the doors off anything Dodge/GM/Ford makes, but like others have said that's somewhat unlikely anytime soon.

Frankly, I'd like a new cummins with the six speed after seeing a coworker pull a double axle trailer loaded with tools and steel up a steep gravel road in first gear without touching the gas. Toyota's got their hands full in order to match something like that.
