Criticized for offering two-generations of not-quite-full-size pickups in a market segment absolutely dominated by the domestic manufacturers, Toyota has learned a lesson from the Nissan Titan -- come out swinging. While the next-generation Tundra isn't scheduled until 2006, the FTX concept truck is intended to make a strong statement that the next pickup will indeed be a big player in the high-volume category. Tundra to the extreme, the FTX is a huge machine measuring 19 feet long and nearly seven feet wide, with a bed edge that is eye-level. Ready for off-road adventures, this 4x4 wears 37-inch tires and isolates passengers from trail harshness with suspension-fitted seats. Retractable side step rails aid ingress/egress, and even cargo loading. A hidden ramp at the rear helps roll heavy items or recreation machines into the bed. This concept features a hybrid V-8 powertrain, reportedly under consideration for the next Tundra, though it will not be offered at launch.
