    I have been a proud Tundra owner since 2007 with the introduction of the 2nd gen. I know they call the newer models "3rd gen", but really what has changed besides the appearance? Does anyone have any legitimate information as to what is coming next for the Tundra and WHEN? Although I have loved my 2007 I am ready to upgrade to some new technology, but I just cannot see doing that until Toyota ups their game and actually tries to compete with the Big 3. My wish list is the following: +20 HP, +30 lb/ft, +3-4 mpg. Am I just dreaming, or can Toyota actually deliver with the "4th gen" Tundra?

    There are no whispers as of yet.

    The current model is identical to the 2nd gen except for transfer-case improvements and lipstick.

    I'd expect an 8 speed and D4S for the V8 with little power gains soon.

    When I bought the thing back in August of 2007 it was heads and tails above the competition (IMO). However, they have sat on their hands for 10 years now and let the competition catch up and surpass them. Heck, even the Nissan Titan is offering more appeal than a Tundra now. You can't always only play the "we've got the reliability" card, can you? Surely Toyota realizes that consumers are obsessed with numbers nowadays (more horsepower, more torque, better gas mileage, more tech goodies, etc.)

    They really dont have to do much, just little bit more mpg of these engine would be enough.

    Tundra sales are pretty weak, and with the big 3 offering better pricing discounts, better mpg, more tech/gizmos Toyota will need to do something, or they don't care and realized its hard to take full size market share from the domestics, always has and always will, thats their bread and butter.

    I just read an article that said Tundra sales were lagging.

    with EPA regs coming up, Tundra is going to be moonlighted unless they start improving MPGs drastically across its company. Hence the FJ went away. I don't see the sequoia sticking around any longer as it drags the overall rating down. Then the 4Runner possibly. I see that Tundra being the only full size, they would try to improve it.
