Latest 06 Tundra/Sequoia info

FirstToy · 02-15-05, 11:01 AM

from bt17r at yt:
The San Antonio plant is on schedule. Staff are being hired and trained at the Indiana plant that produces both current Tundra and Sequoia. Initial Tundra build will be from Indiana, then San Antonio will ramp up to full capacity of 150,000 in '06. Indiana will supply another 50,000 Tundra and forecast (in Toyota talk forecast = actual) is for 200,000 Tundra in '06, double current sales levels.

Drivetrains are running the gamut from V-8 to V-10 to Diesels, different running gear for each, and a Super Heavy Duty model will be part of the mix.

Dealers are upgrading service departments with higher capacity lifts, larger stalls, and increased display and storage area in preparation. Sales are forecast to be 50% GM and Ford conquest, and about half of all sales are projected to be in Texas and bordering states.

This is going to be one amazing truck to sway Bubba and Bubbette out of their domestic iron. The only consolation to GM and Ford is that initial Tundra production will be artificially constrained to 200,000 for the first couple of years because, as always, Toyota is sensitive to industry politics.

Toyota suppose to produce the new full size trucks at the new San Antonio plant as an 07 model. This will be bigger than current Tundra.
