Toyota TRD Tundra Tow Rig Concept at SEMA...500hp!
"We wanted a rig we could take to grassroots motorsports events," explains Gary Boler, Business Operations Manager for TRD. "Our concept was to turn a Tundra Double Cab and trailer into a race-support rig to display parts and accessories from the TRD catalog."
For a bold, impressive stance, the team installed a custom suspension along with the necessary driveline components to widen the track at both front and rear by five inches. Next, they added forged 17-inch wheels from TRD and shod them with 37-x12.50-inch tires; electric winches were integrated into the Tundra's front and rear.
"Our favorite feature is the intercooled supercharger we developed," enthuses Boler. "It boosts the output of the Tundra's stock 5.7-liter V8 to approximately 500 horsepower. It's emissions-legal in all fifty states and we hope to offer it as a dealer-installed option soon." Read Article

Hmm, I remember the earlier article about the Chevy 3500 towing the Toyota trailer. Could this be their first attempt at a foray into the 3/4 and 1-ton categories?

they are still behind the program with a gas motor , whereas the Siverado is Dura-Max powered that can pull ANYTHING backwards

Doesn't matter if the tranny can't hold up.

Forgot to mention , All this iron being propelled by a gasoline motor . What a waste of fuel . Makes about a much sense as a gasoline powered tri-axel dump truck when a diesel engine is light years ahead as far as engine longevity and fuel mileage go

Since I don't do any towing, I couldn't care less about how "powerful" diesels are. When they aren't towing, they are SLOW! Give me a 500HP street machine! You go Toyota!
