I found nothing direct from Toyota (so far). However, autotrader.ca reports, "On 87 octane fuel, Toyota says this engine will make a peak of 326 hp at 6,000 rpm and 465 lb-ft of torque from just 1,700 rpm. Towing capacity is 6,000 lb."

I'm less concerned about timing...not planning to purchase until June, anyway. However, with only 2-3% in Trailhunter trim, not only will it be hard to find, demand will make many dealer more than happy to pop 10-15% markups (or more) on them.
