At this year's SEMA Show, Toyota had a nice surprise for all of us big truck fans; a 2008 Toyota Tundra Diesel Dually CrewMax concept. Toyota tells us, "This fantasy Tundra was built to accommodate a Hino eight-liter inline six high-torque powerplant, mated with an Eaton five-speed manual transmission. Exterior cues include a Crewmax cab joined to a 6'5" bed, 22.5-inch wheels custom made by Alcoa, a diamond plate-lined bed and a charcoal gray metallic flat paint treatment.

Inside, the truck features a hand-sewn ginger-colored full leather interior with wool carpets and suede headliner. The Tundra Diesel Dually is a study in contrasts that demonstrates Toyota's commitment to exploring new ideas."
