“Endeavour will be towed 12 miles from Los Angeles International Airport to the museum on October 13, and the Tundra will hitch up to the shuttle for the last quarter mile of the trip.

Toyota says that the truck used to tow Endeavour will be a stock V8 Tundra with no enhancements or modifications.”
