Just a warning (if that's really required)....

Just received the June 1999 motor Trend with a preliminary test report on
the 2000 Toyota Tundra (V8) Truck.

Price: $22,250 (V8) / $14,995 (V6) (Both come with the "ClubCab" which seems
to be rather large)

Engine: 4.7L DOHC (4V)
HP: 245@4800
TQ: 315@3400
Axle Ratio: 3.92
0-60: 7.8 sec

* This one includes the TRD (Toyota Racing Development) Suspension *

Don't think it's going to be too much of a problem, just something to watch
out for.

If it means anything, they also had the Hennessey "Venom" 650R Viper in the
magazine as well.

Engine: 8.4L OHV (2V)
HP: 650 @ 5800
TQ: 650 @ 4500
Axle Ratio: 3.54

0-60: 3.3 sec
0-100: 7.1
1/4 Mile: 11.2 @ 131.7 (w/Mickey Thompson Street Slicks)
1/4 Mile: 12.2 @ 118.6 (w/Hoosier 335/30ZR18)
