Toyota Diesel
Hope this isn't old news, but news to me. Just read that Tundra will come out with a Cummins in 2016. Optional I assume.

OK- I get it. The market are for those who want a diesel for a grocery getter.
That makes as much sense as selling ice cubes at the North Pole!
I don't think you do get it. Might depend on where you live but around here the area is full of half tons hauling construction and service stuff. SO, I talked to the head guy doing some remodeling on the house. He said he drives as much as 200 miles a day checking on his crews and taking tools and supplies back and forth. He said he would welcome a diesel for the reasons I have stated above. He also mentioned the torque advantage getting on a freeway pulling say a cement pumper or heavy load of drywall.
Also theres the longevity of a diesel motor , for someone like this
Might get 500k miles or more in the motor , coupled with Toyota . Thats going to be hard to beat. Camper hauling excluded
