Engines are the same, same suspension and frame. This is just cosmetic.

Interior looks better. The Big Three have nothing to worry about with this "refresh". They simply boxed it up more and gave it a few more Toyota badges. Now that this is out, Ram is out, and Silverado/Sierra twins are out, only leaves the F-Series to play it's cards and dominate.

More chiseled looks, vastly improved interior, and more high end trim lines. That's basically what the market is asking for.

Powertrain updates are likely staggered, again, in line with a lot of product launches, keeping things fresher, more often.

Toyota's press conference mentioned "real world mpg" supposedly it was reported that the Tundra 5.7L achieves similar mileage as other Big 3 smaller V8's and EcoBoost. And of course you hear all the truck enthusiasts consistently asking for more and more power.

Why wouldn't Tundra use projector headlights when Ford, GM, and Dodge 's new trucks all come with it or at least as an option?

Good call, they added LED drl on some models but they should be offering projectors.

Its a decent refresh, the interior is better but sadly, this Tundra won't do much for conquest sales.

Tundra still needs real HD and a diesel variant to go against the Big 3.

So is the next fully redesigned Tundra coming out in 2015-2016? I mean this just seems like a face lift.

Looks tough..Tundra might be far behind F-150 sales but its a far better effort than the Titan or the Ridgelol

Is it just me though or the interior reminds me of the older F-150?
