This is just one of those times when I am thankful that I don't rely on things that I own to determine my self worth...

Exactly. Understand it a ~200# lighter than the big-6 Cummins in the RAM 2500. Maybe 800#?

Just hope Nissan/Toyota don't screw it up, giving us another low payload diesel.

Interesting... I hope they increase payload for this upgrade too. That extra 12 gallons of gas will weigh about 80 lbs, not too big of a hit on payload, but the payload is pretty low...

X2,

Yup the only downside is the fuel tank. But we stop enough to top off and get gas when towing or not......but it would be nice to stop much less.

Last thing I read is it would be 2016 at the earliest.

Ya, what happened to the diesel deal? Anybody know?

Doesn't matter the payload, there is a dial on the dash to adjust headlights down when loaded as to not illuminate the stars!

Sounds like Toyota is about 7 years behind everybody else as usual.
