Toyota has announced that the 2007 Tundra CrewMax (read: four-door model) will be unveiled at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in early January. But why wait until Autoblog arrives in Detroit next month to see the big behemoth, we have a blurry cameraphone pic of the CrewMax for you now. The photo was found by Autoblog reader Terry D. on SnoWest.com, a snow mobile forum of all places. Forum member polarman posted the shot along with some incredibly detailed information on the Tundra, which can be read after the jump. He claims to be in the know because he is a Toyota dealer, so while all bets are off concerning the veracity of the following claims, it’s quite possible polarman’s telling the truth.
Follow the jump for inside info on the Tundra’s towing capicity and horsepower rating, as well as the company’s official press release announcing the debut of the Crew Max in Detroit. [Toyota and SnoWest.com]
