Toyota says it's planning to unveil the next phase of its domestic pickup dismemberment plan, the 2007 Tundra CrewMax, at the Detroit show. Spies say the largest of ToMoCo's revamped line will get a version of the new corporate 5.7-liter V8 that produces in range of 400 hp, along with a possible 11,000 lb towing capacity and enough room to transport a shift of pipe fitters to the nearest Hooters and back before management knows they haven't finished the R27 assembly. Toyota says its Tundra line for 2007 will include three cab styles, three wheelbases, three bed lengths, three engines, three trim levels, and three nervous competitors. – Mike Spinelli
