Toyota dealers, your redesigned Tundra pickup is ready. But you can't have it yet.
Ready-to-sell Tundras have been creeping down the new assembly line in San Antonio since Nov. 1. But they contain either Toyota's 4.7-liter V-8 or a V-6.
Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc. is adamant that the redesigned full-sized pickup will not launch sales until after its new 5.7-liter V-8 engine becomes available in January from the company's expanding engine plant in Huntsville, Ala. Sales for the pickup are targeted to begin Feb 12.
The wait could have been worse. Originally, the 5.7-liter engine was going to be unavailable until next summer.
