Doesn't the Texas Edition Tundra have the smaller motor and shorter gear? I drove both the 4.8 and the 5.7 (both 2wd). I wasn't all that impressed with them. I stuck with my 05 Silverado Crew Cab.

The Tundras are selling for about $500 over invoice though. Give Jason at Joe Myer a call. He's the guy that told me about that. Ron Carter was going to do $1000 over.
*edit* Screw it man. Get one of these...

No it was in reference to gm's six speed but the toyota may have teething problems too. That first year or two is the teller of the tale. I remember in 94' when everyone was going nuts about the new bad *** 6.5 t diesels and we all see what a piece they were.
