08 toyota tundra
Supremacy? Toyota is pulling no strikes by presenting one of the largest, best, and also many capable vehicles in the segment, along with spending billions in a brand-new modern manufacturing plant in the heart of truck country-San Antonio, Texas. Value? With Toyota looking to greater than double its presence in the fiercely objected to half-ton marketplace, the Tundra represents one of the most very expected brand-new automobile launches in many years-- cars and truck or vehicle. Value? The brand-new Tundra provides 3 various powertrains (one V-6 and also two V-8s), with the 5.7-liter V-8 a modern wonder as well as torque monster-- and also is amongst the most powerful engines in any half-ton arrangement. Toyota's system has the whole sector covered with three different bed dimensions, three different wheelbases covering five different taxicab and bed configurations, combined with three different trim packages (Tundra Grade, SR5, as well as Limited) in 4 × 4 as well as 4 × 2 drivetrains-- 44 different truck flavors to interested purchasers, from job vehicle to luxury touring.
Using that kind of range right out of the gate goes over as well as enthusiastic; in fact, some might claim too ambitious. The current launch of the new Tundra has actually not been without a couple of hiccups. A number of months ago, an early result of camshafts in the 5.7-liter V-8 were failing. Toyota informs us they mapped down all the damaged components to a specific set and have actually considering that made the improvements to the design. No failures have emerged because. Much more just recently, there have actually been some records of transmission shudder under specific low-speed conditions, which dealers have actually traced to a torque converter problem. Toyota claims these cases were separated and have likewise been fixed. And lastly, there's been chatter on the Internet worrying tailgate issues, which Toyota is in the procedure of finding. Our assumption is a number of these stories spread like wildfire, provided the lightning-rod result this new truck is having with lovers and also the speed with which an Internet item could travel. With all that said, let's take a further look at just what's unique concerning our 2008 victor.
As mentioned in the intro to this unique section, we ran our competitors with a series of on- and off-road courses at a functioning Arizona proving-ground center, subjecting all our test units to a rigorous set of requirements. It remained in our work-duty screening that the Tundra initially started to catch our interest, with the 5.7-liter V-8 Restricted CrewMax Tundra running miles ahead of the competitors, with and also without a crammed trailer in tow (note our performance analysis in the tale and also the Tundra's winning Efficiency Rating). The Tundra confirmed itself a celebrity player in ordinary gown (Dual Cab Tundra Quality, 4.7 L V-8; $27K), as well as in completely decked out (CrewMax Limited, 5.7 L V-8; $47K). When dressed down, the front bench seats permits a column shifter and also work-truck dash with a twin glovebox as well as hidden facility storage space area under the center seat. Our fully filled model had flexible natural leather captain's chairs as well as a significant facility console storage space container, large enough to hold a couple of laptops and also function as a filing cabinet. The CrewMax version, with its extensive traveler cabin, provides a moving rear seat with drop-forward as well as slide-forward ability.
One of the more crucial interior comforts, cabin quiet (while driving on rough roadways or at freeway speeds) is possibly the Tundra's many impressive quality. If there's a quieter vehicle available, we have not driven it. Only 2 beefs with the interior: the facility pile's too much dimension and aesthetic split (looks like it's cut in two) and the area of the navigation system almost from arm's grab the chauffeur.
Is it the best truck? That all relies on what you need, however by supplying 44 different taste choices, Toyota expects to have what you're trying to find, stuffing heavy-duty vehicle capabilities into a half-ton vehicle that's quiet and also strong. After some argument, the majority of our courts agree: The most deserving competitor for Motor Trend's 2008 Truck of the Year title is the all-new Toyota Tundra.
