Default New 2007 TUNDRA spy SHOTS!

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=107016

way to go TOYOTA...that thing looks very muscular and awesome...looks like another Truck of the year award to me
that rear door is enormous...the front looks very futuristic when they put the camo on like that with the headlights...the grill has the bars like the Fusion and the angle of a Ridgeline

i'm going to try to go to TOYOTA HQ to see if i could find anything tomorrow

PS...where are all of these desert shots usually taken...at least the ones in the Mojave...

is it on the main highways on 15 freeway (for those who live in LA) or do they get on some weird side road and just wander around???

If I had to guess, it's probably some backroad closed-off track where anything goes. Probably some sort of gentlemen's agreement between the local gov't and the manufacturers HQ's based in the surrounding areas.

Truck looks... goofy for right now. Those headlights yell "ridgeline", but I'm pretty sure that's only because it's a test mule with a mask over it's headlight design to prevent design copying (*cough* Hyundai *cough, cough*).

the fascia seems very ridgeline, but that is b/c of the camo...i think there are some fake body panels
the headlights are so covered, you can't tell what they are

by the way...thanks for the insight

Good luck trying but I doubt you'll find anything...especially if these vehicles are on Toyota's private property...they already have an idea of what you look like since you did post a pic of yourself from a proclaimed "spy shot" of yours. lol.

I have a copy of the pic saved just in case.

FJ Cruiser i've seen running around town as well. That's not a big surprise. It's been uncovered since last year.

i dont know why people take those photos and post them up thinking that they look like something cool. I HATE the hefty bag spy shots... I HATE EM, I HATE EM, I HATE EM!!!!



You want to know what I see? I see a garbage bag rolling down SOME road. I dont get what people see in those pictures? I see NOTHING!

Um...I think we at least can tell from the pic the basic proportion of the truck and more importantly, confirm that Toyota is finally going after the true full-size truck market.

Some pics is better than no pic IMO.

Hard to tell much of anything about what's under all that crap.

Looks HUGE though.
