First Kansas Showing of Prototype Pickup

HUTCHINSON, Kan., Aug. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Visitors to the Kansas State Fair will get a sneak preview of the 2007 Toyota Tundra pickup truck September 8, 9 and 10, when a prototype Tundra is on display during the fair's opening weekend.
"This will be the first and only public showing of the Tundra prototype in Kansas," said Richard Simonetti, general manager of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A.'s Kansas City Region. "We're pleased that Kansas State Fair goers will have the opportunity to see the new Tundra nearly half a year in advance of its introduction."

The full-size Tundra will be the largest, most powerful pickup truck ever offered by Toyota when it goes on sale in February 2007. The new Tundra is a true American truck that will set a new benchmark in the full-size truck segment. Development of the Tundra was spearheaded by Toyota's U.S. design and engineering facilities and the truck will be built at Toyota plants in Princeton, Indiana and San Antonio, Texas.

The new Tundra has been super-sized in every metric of comparison with the vehicle it replaces. Its all-new, full-size platform will feature a significantly expanded wheelbase, an increase of 10 inches in overall length, nearly five inches in height and four inches in width. The new Tundra will come in three cab configurations and offer a choice of three engines, including a new 5.7-liter V8 capable of towing over 10,000 pounds.
