Very impressed w/wifes Toyota Sequoia. Reckon Toyota will ever come out with a diesel tow vehicle? I know they were planning to about 9 years ago but got scared off by our economy.

The 5.7L and mated 6 speed in the Tundra/Sequoia is bulletproof and has not changed with model year changes for that very reason. Toyota reps have been VERY clear; they want to stick with a good thing.

IMO, they dont care about market share, they want to be known for reliability first...the rest is second.

Toyota was planning to use the same diesel as the Titan HD but look at the reports from owners as well as other motors not passing EPA tests and thus not allowed to be sold until they do pass. (Dodge ECO diesel for example)

Toyota is smart. They make mistakes like everyone else. But they are smart to hold back on the mid-size 1/2 ton and SUV diesel craze. Same kudos to Honda.

And look to Europe as well. They regret ediesel now. Google it.

:hNo regrets and diesel vehicles are increasing. Just Google overseas vehicle manufacturers " new diesel" and see what comes up...you will be surprised
Only place where their seems a retreat from diesel is the US, but even in the US new diesels have been introduced
