Image is everything in the full-size pickup class and the nose on automaker’s next-generation hauler, shown here in TRD Pro trim, is nothing short of massive. The new Tundra, which is similar in design to the rest-of-the-world Toyota Hilux pickup, will share the body-on-frame platform with the next Tacoma midsize pickup plus the 4Runner and Sequoia utility vehicles. The 5.7-liter V-8 is being replaced by a twin-turbo V-6 that will likely include an electric-motor assist. In any event, output is expected to exceed the V-8’s 381 horsepower by at least 50 ponies.
