Toyota Tundra Forum

I have heard rumors of this for a while now. I am hoping that Toyota trims the product line instead of killing it completely.

The Mechanic's Fearless Forecast for 2010

Excerpt from Edmund's Inside Line

"Some of The Mechanic's best friends drive Toyota Tundras. And Mrs. The Mechanic has frequently been seen behind the wheel of the Tundra-based Sequoia SUV. But forget it. The Tundra is doomed.

During 2009 the Tundra sold at about one-fifth the rate that Ford sells F-150s. In fact, Toyota isn't going to move more than about 75,000 of them during 2009, though it had predicted volumes somewhere around 200,000 when it opened that nice, expensive plant to build the truck in San Antonio. Considering that the big, bad second-generation Tundra has been a turd for Toyota, it's likely there won't be a third-generation Tundra.

Toyota is already moving the compact Tacoma into the San Antonio plant. It ought to just add a V8 option to that truck.

Look for: Toyota will announce the Tundra's pending death sometime around April."

That would suck if they killed the Tundra. Then I wouldn't have a new truck to buy should anything happen to mine.

That would be disappointing. I've had a lot of cars in my life and I can honestly say that the Tundra is the best thing I've ever driven.

I agree 100%. I traded a Porsche Cayenne S for my Tundra and have never looked back with regret. The Tundra is an amazing vehicle.

I don't have a plan for a new truck, but if I did it would be another Tundra. In the past I have usually traded every 2 years, but i like my Tundra so much i have not even considered a new truck. I also want to get my wife a Sequoia. The article didn't mention the fate of the SUV (unless i missed it).

Wouldn't that depreciate the GEN2 if they stop production, or the other way around?

That is also a concern of mine!!
