CHICAGO -- Tired of getting sand kicked in its face by pickups from Ford, General Motors and Dodge, the Toyota Tundra was sent to the gym.
What emerges for the 2007 model year is a bigger, beefier pickup, with styling that takes its cues from the FTX concept truck from 2004.
The 2007 Tundra was unveiled Thursday morning at the Chicago Auto Show.
When it goes on sale about a year from now, here's what buyers will find:
# A bigger truck. The Tundra's wheelbase has been stretched 10 inches to 138.3 inches on the standard cab. The wheelbase on the Double Cab is 150.5 inches. The overall length grows about the same amount, ranging from about 228 to 240 inches.
# A new 5.7-liter V-8 joins the engine lineup. That engine should make more than 300 hp and be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. It will join the current engines - a 4.0-liter V-6 that was rated at 236 hp for 2006 and a 4.7-liter V-8 that was rated at 271 hp.
# Towing capacity rated at more than 10,000 pounds.
# Three trim levels - base, SR5 and Limited - and three cab configurations, including the Double Cab.
# The options list will include a rearview backup camera and Bluetooth connectivity for cellular telephones.
Toyota will build the redesigned Tundra at plants in Princeton, Ind., and San Antonio.
