I predict GMinsidenews, Mopar Forums, and Ford forums will crash simply so their members can put in their knee-jerk "Toyota sucks" posts in at the same time, just like when the 2007 Tundra debuted.

Toyota makes some of the best 4WD vehicles on Earth. Look around the world in war torn areas, what do you see driving around? It's always a Toyota 4wd. Wherever the paved road ends, there is always a Toyota 4WD. They are designed for longevity.

Durability, reliability and capability = Toyota 4wd vehicles.
If Toyota makes the Tundras like they make the Land Cruisers and other Toyota 4wd vehicles then one can safely assume they are very reliable and tough.

I don't see Toyota or a future Nissan Titan cracking the Big Three's nut.

Regardless I've more excited for the Ford Atlas Concept which previews the next F-150

I really like the F150, i love the Raptor!

If Toyota decides to officially start selling the Tundra in the GCC, it would definitely be more profitable for them.
Toyota has nothing over there to compete with the Sierra/Silverado/F150/Ram. The LC pickup doesn't count since its in a different class. I reckon the Tundra would sell very well since they love Toyota's. The Sequoia is sold in the GCC but it doesn't sell much, most people just go for the Land Cruiser or the Prado ( Toyota's version of the Lexus GX ). I guess though they are worried if they bring the Tundra less people will go for the more utilitarian LC79, in the GCC anyway.

This move will revitalize the rust-proofing industry.

Predicting this to be an extensive facelift (like 2011 Avalon) and nothing more. Still excited to see what they come up with.

I really like the Tundra and almost bought one. However, the Ridgeline better fit my needs (once I learned to ignore the hit-with-an-ugly-stick styling).

Even though it's overdue, the timing is a bit strange, since i would of thought we would of had a unibody Tacoma first. Nevertheless, looking forward to seeing this new Tundra...

why would you have unibody Tacoma? So they can destroy its sales? Tacoma is doing great, it wont be touch for next 2 years.

Toyota owns mid-size market right now with Tacoma, everyone else has quit. Why would they make radical change? That concept would be new car, not Tacoma replacement.

At the time of its release, people were speculating that it was THE Taco replacement. Besides, how many Taco owners take take their vehicles offroad? If everyone else has quit, then make changes for the better (fuel efficiency) while keep good payload is a win win situation.

Could they make the Tundra actually look good this time around?

The 07+ looks like a Dodge Ram molested a Tacoma and the Tundra was the offspring.

And that Tacoma concept is just hideous.
