prohibitive I'd imagine. RHD conversion are not generally easy/cheap, and you'd have to get it complianced, stamp duty, etc.

same.. about time toyota made a "mid sized truck"  mm 4.7L 
they look much nicer than the dodge and ford counter-parts, althought the 8L V10 dodge was feckin messive!!
if they are only made for the US market, then they will be LHD specific, and you have next to no chance of converting to LHD 
this is what you want

Converting to RHD is not the primary concern as you can register LHD in NT.Am interested in seeing some pics and hearing from anyone who has driven one or has imported any type of car from USA .Are they built in USA or Japan ? Build quality of US trucks is a bit sus but would assume Toyota would be quality product.

That is not a Tundra, it is the smaller Tacoma. I should know I own one.
Anyway two fellow employees where I work own Tundras and they love them. The quality is amazing and when I asked why they chose the Tundra over any domestic truck I got the same answer. "It had to start no matter where I was.". These guys are Harley riders and when not riding they are far up north hunting in the middle of no where.
