My guess is that will be the work truck variant.

I like the current Tundra. It looks weird in that picture.

It reminds me of the American trucks combined into one.

Yes, it is ugly, especially the front-on pic Jill shared. However, since when did truck design become a beauty contest? It's kind of like the traditional thinking of how aesthetically pleasing a man looks vs a woman. The majority of both sexes would likely agree women are better looking than men. Trucks (and men) are judged on their ruggedness, strength and dependability (not saying women can't be, but traditionally aren't).

Knowing Toyota, the Tundra will likely be as good as the big three in 1/2 ton ruggedness and strength, and beat the pants off them in dependability! My guess is Toyota will refine the looks over the next few years and then be ready for prime time.

I don’t think many heterosexual women would agree that women are better looking than men lol

Ever used a new software package? Companies work out the bugs after release, as it benefits them to do so. Out of shear embarrassment, Toyota should have released a new Tundra long ago!

On the contrary...I watched a show with some GM engineers in an interview...they claim the very first year is the best and most complete edition of an automotive product. After the first year, stuff gets cut out...(very little at a time) My 4R V8 still has the aluminum intake whereas they cheapened out and went to plastic later.....the 2007-2010 Tundra had those nice little door courtesy lights...they were then quietly omitted on a model year refresh...Tundra in 07 had optitron gauges and then just sent to a cheaper back lit LED set in 2013

Interesting! However, they do refresh the front and rear aesthetics every two years, or so. The new Tundra needs a front refresh right out of the box. This should create a windfall opportunity for aftermarket manufacturers.

To me, if a vehicle isn’t somewhat pleasing to the eye, why buy it? There has to be desire, especially for as much money as new vehicles cost. Rebuilding an older one seems more pleasing right now.
