When you go to see "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," part of the action will include a Toyota Tundra pickup truck and a Lexus SC 430 hardtop convertible. Both vehicles are featured during the movie's dramatic chase scenes.

Here's a quote provided by Toyota, from Deborah Wahl Meyer, Corporate Marketing Communications Manager: "Terminator 3 is the quintessential action movie and the Toyota Tundra fits perfectly because it's tough, durable and unstoppable, which is what's needed in the wild chase scenes."

Wahl announced that a special edition T3 model is now available in dealer showrooms, although you might not see too many examples since the truck has a limited production of only 850 vehicles.

  • The Tundra T3 models feature unique interior and exterior-enhancements such as a full-color-keyed appearance package that includes a custom grille, T3 badging and graphics, fog lamps and 17-inch magnesium-toned alloy wheels. You'll see Dark Charcoal perforated leather seats, and metallic-appearance interior trim on the dash.

  • Performance enhancements include a sport suspension with Tokico shocks, a limited slip differential, heavy-duty stabilizer bar and a Toyota Racing Development (TRD) dual exit exhaust.

  • The Tundra T3 Special Edition package is offered on Tundra SR5 Access Cab 4X2 models in two exterior colors, Black and Imperial Jade Mica.

The base price for the SR5 Access Cab is $23,445. The SR5-grade Value package and color-keyed overfenders has a price tag of $5,585.
