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/

And the market has gone towards mileage recently, that has left the tundra in a situation where the truck has the power, but not the payload or chassis to use it. And it doesn't have mileage that entices, it's a bit of a conundrum.
And the Tundra has been "not recommended" for at least 3 years of Consumer Reports. Recently, it has been back on the recommended list as the quality came up after 2007 launch debacle, followed by a few years of bad surveys. Followed by Toyotas cover-up of surveyed safety issues, which knocked it off the list a second time. Let's leave all the 90's notions of superior quality, and look at even the heavily biased CR reports that show that some domestic brands are within a rounding error quality-wise. And perform much better than domestics of the past.
Bottom line; Toyota needs to add some beef if they are adding a heavy diesel engine to the Tundra. And not repeat what happened in 2007.
