Well, Toyota never used the LS. It was just a consumer that modded his existing truck. Interesting none the less.

For the record, Toyota does not sponsor team TForce or its hopped-up PreRunner...

They probably had to change it when they snapped their camshaft :rofl:

Didn't Toyota also get busted hauling around some of their NASCAR trailers (or something similar) with Chevy Duramaxes?

What would be so bad about that - it's not like you're going to get that kind of towing capacity out of a Tundra :angel:

Look at the size of that trailer. No Tundra would be able to move that, without snapping a whole lot more than camshafts. It needs a dually...which Toyota does not make.
