Toyota used the SEMA motor show to unveil their 2009 Tundra Ducati Desmosedici transporter, which is the ultimate way to transport Ducati's Desmosedici RR MotoGP bike.
Based on the Tundra CrewMax, this special edition truck features a modified bed which allows the Ducati to fit in the back. The bed also has flip up bedsides, a motorized loading ramp, integrated storage compartments, and popup solar panels which can be used to power accessories.
Power for the Ducati inspired truck comes from a 5.7 liter V8 engine outfitted with supercharger which produces 500 hp, while other performance tweaks include a new exhaust, intake, suspension and brakes. Rounding out the other key attributes of the truck are 22" aluminum wheels and a custom interior by Fast Ed's.

TUNDRA/DUCATI TRANSPORTER
The Ducati Desmosedici RR is the only street legal MotoGP bike ever produced. The ultimate track day bike requires the ultimate transport; that's where Toyota comes in with the 2009 Tundra Ducati Desmosedici transporter.
The Tundra/Ducati Transporter is built on a Tundra CrewMax, which has been modified to accept a 6.5-inch bed. The transporter is tied thematically to the bike, incorporating Ducati Corse style along with high tech materials and execution to create synergies for two companies obsessed with quality and performance. Additional features include major bed innovations such as flip up bedsides, a motorized loading ramp by Rampage, integrated tool and spares storage, and popup solar panels for accessory power.
Performance is enhanced through the full catalog of TRD Performance parts such as supercharger, exhaust, intake, suspension and brakes.
The interior treatment by Fast Ed's Interiors combines high tech style with Italian flair.
