+1. Seriously..ignorance is excusable as long as you don't make statements based on it.

Wouldn't make any sense to me because theres no point in designing an old antique engine to put in a new production truck. Only reason I see in toyota designing a pushrod engine was for the Nascar series. They were using ford engines initially because Toyota didn't have any pushrod engines at the time. I saw something on speed about toyota going to TRD to design the new engine for their race car. I don't see why those rednecks don't allow new engines to enter, maybe cause they bitch and cry about getting spanked and thats why they never want to upgrade. Now whether or not they borrowed the design from Ford I don't know because I really don't care. Now as far as the new Tundra having an old pushrod engine. I dont think so according to the Toyota website. It also wouldn't make sense considering they already have a great design.

Why is a Pushrod engine outdated, as far as i can see there is no disadvantage.
A car doesn't need a computer to make it faster.

Wonder why they use DOHC engines in F1. If there was not disadvantage to them, they shoulda just let the Camry race with their own existing engine design they had at the time. Like I said I don't care for nascar, I think its a dull sport that isn't very entertaining. I was just making the point about Pushrod in Tundra = no no.
