Toyota Tundra Dually

 »  »  »

The Toyota Tundra Dually project car is the result of the cooperation between Motorsports Technical Group and various other companies. The Toyota Tundra Dually is powered by an 8.0-liter inline six-cylinder high-torque engine developed by Hino that's coupled with an Eaton five-speed manual transmission.

The Toyota Tundra Dually features a Alcoa forged aluminum alloy 22.5-inch wheels, diamond plate-lined bed and a charcoal gray metallic flat paint finish.

The interior of the Toyota Tundra Dually comes with ginger leather seats, suede pillars and headliner.

Toyota Press Release:

Making a bold and adventurous statement about the contrasts between rugged “Road Warrior” performance and opulent luxury, a Toyota Tundra CrewMax diesel dually project truck, which made its debut at the 2007 SEMA Show, is back again for SEMA 2008 in Toyota Vehicle Coral.

At its core, the Tundra light duty pickup’s stock engine was replaced with a medium duty diesel



powerplant plucked from a 35,000-pound commercial truck. The 8.0-liter inline six-cylinder high-torque engine, made by Toyota affiliate Hino, is mated with an Eaton five-speed manual transmission and a Hino back end. Toyota Motorsports Technical Group heavily modified the Tundra to accommodate the beefed-up driveline.

A host of custom exterior treatments point to the off-the-charts muscle under the hood. Prominent examples include forged aluminum alloy 22.5-inch wheels custom made by Alcoa, a diamond plate-lined bed, a charcoal gray metallic flat paint finish and a fifth-wheel hitch rated at 24,000 pounds.

The muscular theme on the outside shifts dramatically to that of luxury on the inside with hand-sewn ginger leather seats, suede pillars and headliner and dual rear captain’s chairs with individual DVD entertainment systems.
