Hey scotty, you think later on in the future, toyota will make their newest i force tundra into a twin turbo’d v8? with even more power than the current twin charged v6?? would LOVE to hear your thought on this 🤩
Welcome to the forum.
Toyota dropped the V8 for turbo 6 because of fuel economy and emissions. Over the life cycle of the new Tundra (and Land Cruiser) the V8 was going to make it difficult for Toyota to meet government fuel economy regs, not just in the US but in other countries too. So they changed it out for a turbo 6.
Unless global governments change course (narrator voice, “they won’t”) the V8 is not coming back. In fact you can assume the turbo 6 will eventually be replaced by something smaller, like a turbo4 or hybrid-4.
The real question is whether governments will follow through with their threat to allow only electric vehicles in another 10 years or so (which is apparently the plan of the hare-brains in CA and Europe). Any reasonable person would realize a gas-free future is doomed to failure (unless we massively increase the number of power plants on the grid, which we aren’t) but just because it won’t work doesn’t mean California won’t try it anyway.
But no, Toyota will not be offering a V8, turbo or not, ever again.
that's a good one

It’s wayyyy past April fools’..
Unfortunately, V8s are becoming a thing of the past across the board.
While it's possible Toyota could build another V8 in the future (Ford built a new pushrod V8 dubbed the Godzilla) I highly doubt it.
New V8's are being legislated out of existence.
