a whole lot prouder of being Texan.

Texans like their full-size pickup trucks too, so it's only fitting than one of the major manufacturers offer something special as a door prize, right? So which one should get the honour? Ford, Chevy, Dodge? No, instead the largest Japanese automaker, Toyota, came to the party with a special "Presidential Edition" Texan Tundra, to be given away in celebration of the second inauguration of President George W. Bush.

Society's Black Tie & Boots gala, where more than 10,000 guests are expected, is a great opportunity for Toyota to get its largest pickup truck seen by some of the wealthiest, most influential movers and shakers in the lone star state.

And the winner sure won't beef that it's not an F-150, the most popular pickup truck in Texas as well as the rest of the U.S., especially when finding out about all the extras that make this particular Tundra special.
