That is true about the regular cab according to the site. I do know you use to be able to get the 5.7 in a regular cab. They just started offering the v6 in the regular cab in the last year or 2.
I jumped to a conclusion based on what I found on Toyota's website, which is confusing at best. Just for fun I changed the zip code I entered to the Gulf Coast area where I was able to build a 2WD base Tundra with the 5.7. When I used my local zip code I could not. The only base model I could build with the 5.7 was the 4x4 CrewMax. So apparently Toyota plays all the same marketing games that the others do.
It's not a model I am at all interested in, but I wonder what a dealer would tell me if I went in and wanted to order a Tundra Regular Cab work truck with the 5.7.
