The hybrid in the Tundra seems pretty mild. More than the Etorque in the Ram but less than what the F150 Hybrid has. I hope they use some kind of reverse power like the F150 has, that built in generator ability is a pretty useful feature on a truck. Otherwise the big news here is Toyota going turbo v6 like Ford and losing the great 5.7 v8 which is a powerful reliable motor.
I hardly ever shop Toyota, I did check out their new Sienna hybrid before getting the Pacifica hybrid. Now might be a good time to "pick up" a v8 Toyota if you want one as they are probably gone. I look back always on the great motors and think how I should have bought a 4.0 Jeep Cherokee the last year they were made.
I just don't think any turbo gas motor is going to go down in history as a pillar of long term reliability.
