For high 30s, get a diesel. With a simple tune you are at 400 rwhp and 800 ft-lbs. Plus they still get 19-20 mpg average.

Toyota trucks are nice, but I wish they made the body more aggressive/rugged looking instead of all the smooth curvy lines.

We are also looking for a Diesel (flatbed) for a work truck,

This should make a good truck to haul customers around in.

Buddy and I looked at them at the car show and I have to admit they are NICE! Tony's right I wish they had a better "truck" look..cough, cough, Siverado...but the guy I went to the show with pulled the trigger on one. He will have it around the 2nd week of March...For the money you really can't go wrong with this very well built truck. Good luck G!

My boss has like a 04' Texas Edition, it is fully loaded with the big engine and 20" wheels. He has had problems with it since day one. The truck has this weird vibration and makes this grinding noise when you drive less than 5mph, no matter what they try Toyota can't get it to go away, plus he said it gets worse milage than his old 5.4 4 Door F150. Maybe he just has a bad seed but I would take alot of trucks over that Tundra after driving/hearing about my bosses.

The 2008 Ford Power strokes are already hitting the lots. 6.4L Dual Turbo. I'd definitely be looking at on of those if i were in the market for a new truck
