New 2007 Toyota Tundra rumors (410hp, 11,000lb. towing) Update - More Rumors pg. 2
File this under "Rumor and Speculation," because as of now, that's all it is...
I read that someone who has been in the new 2007 Tundra "c" cab, and who has seen the "d" cab, has stated the following:
• 410 hp
• 11,000 towing
• "d" cab larger than Dodge Mega Cab
The "c" cab is what has been shown to date. I'm assuming that means "Crew" cab, and that "d" cab means "Double" cab. I'm also assuming that if this is true that the new Tundra will have a GVW in the 8K range, or at least the model with these specs will be in that range.
I have no idea if this guy works for Toyota, is an automotive insider, or was part of a focus group. So take it for what it's worth. If it turns out to be true, remember you read it here first. If not, well, I've presented my disclaimer...
In any event it's just adding more fuel to the pickup "braggin' rights" war.

Those are some big numbers. Toyota is serious about jumping into the fullsize truck race. I don't think they can afford to mess it up the 3rd time around. As they say, the 3rd times a charm! 
As for the plant it's being built at in San Antonio, I got to visit the new facilities back in June...the place is enormous!

Not hard to believe 410hp seeing how there'll be two V8 options. There'll also be a diesel and a hybrid (still trying to sort this out since we know the electric motors at the moment can't really sustain constant heavy loads as it'll overheat)

Spied: 2007 Toyota Tundra
By BOB GRITZINGER
AutoWeek | Published 08/09/06, 8:20 am et
Here’s one big reason General Motors broke into double-time to bring its all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra fullsize pickups to market 13 weeks ahead of schedule: the 2007 Toyota Tundra.
Judging by these spy photos, taken by alert AutoWeek reader Tim Yale in Orange, California, the next-gen full-scale Tundra is holding to the production form revealed earlier this year at the Chicago auto show (“Bigger is badder,” Feb. 20). The truck is clearly well on the road to a market introduction by January, where it would have competed directly with GM’s launch if the General hadn’t hustled to get its trucks to market first.
Tundra arrives in this Double Cab configuration (replacing Access Cab) with small front-hinged rear access doors. Regular cabs and fullsize four-door cabs come later. The truck is powered by a 5.7-liter, 350-hp, 350-lb-ft V8 linked to a six-speed automatic transmission. A 4.7-liter V8 and a 4.0-liter V6 also will be offered.
