The '07 Tundra offered flexibility when choosing between three cab styles, wheelbases, bed lengths, engines, and trim levels. If you want a regular cab, with the 5.7L V-8, go for it. We got a chance to drive one and it does a great job of launching the truck and pinning you back into your seat. The regular cab also features more storage behind the seat than any other truck, and plenty of room for a large backpack or even a duffel bag. With the optional appearance package, and the monochrome grille that comes with it, the regular cab 5.7L Tundra is practically begging to be lowered.
Toyota hopes to sell 200,000 Tundras per year, which is way too many for aftermarket suppliers to ignore. We've already seen several companies at SEMA who have stepped in to help keep up with the supply for customers itching to modify their truck. So keep your eyes open, because it's only a matter of time before you'll see a Tundra featured in the pages of Truckin.
