I'm very very curious to see if Toyota can strike a deal with Cummins like Nissan has done to put the 5.0 V-8 Cummins powered turbo diesel in the future tundras. Has anyone heard if this could become reality?
I'll be the 1st to order one if they are able to strike a deal! The durability of a toyota truck, with Cummins power would be unstopable!!!!
Sales rep I bought mine from says Toyota has been working with Hino for a few years now to develop a diesel in the Tundra and expects that's who they will end up using.
Toyota doesn't need a diesel engine from another company, they already have their own diesels in other parts of the world. That said, I doubt we'll ever see a diesel Tundra.
I love the idea of a diesel in a 1/2 ton pickup. I'm curious to see what axles the Titan gets with this upgrade. No way that Dana 44 they currently use is going to hold up.
If Toyota brings any diesels to the states for the Tundra, it will be the 1VD-FTV currently seeing use in Australia and South America. To my knowledge, they aren't even in talks with Cummins, nor do they need to be really.
My cousin works (line manager) at the San Antonio Toyota plant and he says that they will be offering a different engine next yr (more power with better fuel mileage) but no diesel.
Be very interesting to see how we'll the Titan sells with the available cummins under the hood. I'll be very curious to see how they price the truck vs the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks with a diesel.
Nissan is gona spank dodge with there 5.0 lol only smart thing dodge has ever done was put the 6bt in there 3/4ton+ trucks.. But that engine line is way to heavy for a 1/2.. Since they actually weigh a 1/2 ton dry. Pray the Toyota dosnt go with international if they get a diesel. Ford dropped them after there 6.0 and 6.4 turned out to be lemmon engines
