Diesel News from Toyota:

"Industry sources told Inside Line that Toyota engineers have been working on at least two variations of the new clean-diesel engine, including the 4.5-liter unit and a larger 7.0-liter V8 that would dwarf the company's 5.7-liter gasoline V8.

The 7.0-liter V8 diesel has been engineered as the workhorse unit in a new heavy-duty edition of the Tundra pickup that's tentatively slated for production in 2011-'12. The heavy-duty Tundra would be aimed primarily at commercial users, as well as consumers who need to tow boats, campers and horse trailers, and would compete with similar offerings from Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford and GMC.
