Toyota is secretly planning a big diesel pickup truck for the U.S. market and will add a hybrid as well, according to Edmunds. In the works is a new big-block diesel V8, an engine Toyota plans to drop into the new Tundra and build at the rate of 70,000 units per year out of its new greenfield TMMTX plant in San Antonio, Texas, that opens this year. However, the diesel is apparently still three years away. To ramp up the pickup’s eco image, a new high-efficiency V8 and a gas-electric hybrid are also reportedly in the works.
