Now that you mention it, no. However, I was at a construction expo today and the local dealer had a few on display. The engine bay is tight and the heads are very similar to the hemi. Only 8 plugs and sensors everywhere. Interior not too bad, but the instrument cluster was horrible (aesthetically). Redline was marked at about 6. Cuphoders in the doors. Rear shocks are mounted outside of the leafs for more control. Huge rear axel! Huge front brakes! Now if the truck didn't look like a big bubble it wouldn't be too bad.

There's 2 or 3 that I've seen in my area in the past couple months. I tried to catch up to one on the highway for a closer look, but he saw me coming and thought I wanted to run him. He floored it and I didn't pursue. It wasn't worth a speeding ticket just to see one up close.

I kind of like the way they look up close. However, has anyone built one on the website with all the options? I did and it came out to almost 50K! That was with all the goods... Regardless of foreign ownership, blah, blah, blah, it is a nice looking truck.

I have seen a handful. Personally I think they are ugly as ****, they look like a big pig.

I live in Austin, just north of San Antonio where they build the Tundra and I still don't see a lot on the road, but I sure do see a ton of them on the Toyota lots with the price they want and the way the look, they will probably stay on those lots for a long time.
