Tundra with a Cummins?
Looks like Toyota may be considering a diesel option also. http://www.autoblog.com/2013/09/02/toyota-tundra-cummins-diesel-engine/

Now it is ho-hum.
Still a good truck, reliable and well built I'm sure... but they really dropped the ball just doing a "sheetmetal makeover" for this newest generation. Carryover powertrain = getting left behind by those that innovate & update.
Funny how a great powertrain is "ho-hum" with no changes to it... Its the same great powertrain that it was 5 years ago, its just that other engines are comparable or better now whereas 5 years ago it blew the doors off most other options.
The powertrain is still great. Its funny that the Ford boys loved the enemic 5.4 that was in production for years. There was nothing WRONG with it, but now that there are better options available its suddenly considered junk. That is not the case.
All true, except Ram, GM and Ford have upgraded their trucks and power trains since the Tundra 1st came out. I will agree that the Tundra power train is darn good, but it still comes in the same package. Most consumers like change, and Toyota is lagging in all departments. Doesn't make the Tundra less of a truck, it just makes it less desirable.
