The 4.7L V8 version of the new Tundra is the same engine in my Landcruiser, which actually weighs a little less unloaded. I can tell you that is underpowered for hauling; even barely adequate for empty. The 06 and earlier tundra's weighed a lot less empty, so it was probably adequate. I have the 5.7L V8 and you don't even know the camper is back there. From some forums I'm on, I understand the 4.7 gets the same or worse gas mileage than the 5.7 because it has to work much harder, so I don't think there is much incentive to go with the smaller engine.
So, you are saying a '07 Tundra with a 4.7L 271 hp is not enough to haul a loaded ATC/FWC?
I do not mean to say I do not believe you, but do you have real proof?

P.S. At 5am tomorrow (Tue 8/13) I am driving 655 miles to buy a '07 Tundra Reg Cab 4x4 Long Bed 4.7L.
