2007 Toyota Tundra Crew Max
Outside & Styling
The Tundra is available in 3 taxicab designs: normal, extensive as well as team, named Normal Taxicab, Dual Taxicab and also CrewMax, respectively. The Normal as well as Double Taxicab versions include brief or lengthy cargo beds determining 6.5 feet and 8.1 feet in size.
There are 3 trim levels: The Routine Taxi DX is a stripped-down work truck with a black grille and grille frame, and also black bumpers, side mirrors as well as door and tailgate takes care of. It can be upgraded to an SR5 through an option bundle that adds-- among useful functions-- a chrome front bumper with a body-colored cap.
The Tundra appears like the Tacoma midsize pick-up however with a taller, domed hood. Its most unique aspect is a black strip that covers the crest of the grille framework. I'm not exactly sure I like it, yet there it is. It stands apart extra on the body-colored grille border that comes on the Sport Look Package, an alternative used for Routine as well as Double Cabs.
In the Double as well as CrewMax designs, the SR5 trim level adds the chrome grille structure, and the chrome as well as body-colored treatment for the back in addition to the front bumper. The Limited trim level adds chrome to the grille's three crossbars, the door manages as well as the side mirrors, with the exception of the optional extendable mirrors provided for hauling objectives. The Limited's front bumper is entirely body-colored, and it's the only trim level with common haze lights.
The standard wheels are 18 inches, in steel for the SR5 as well as alloy for the Limited. Twenty-inch alloys are optional.
Going & Preventing
In addition to a V-6 that's conventional on the Normal Cab and also Dual Taxi, the Tundra offers two V-8 engines. The CrewMax doesn't had the V-6.
The 5.7-liter V-8 had not yet begun mass production in Huntsville, Ala., when I got my sneak preview of the Tundra in December 2006. Prior to I got it, I pictured three assembly employees behind each truck, pressing; a designer in the bed with a bullhorn making vrooom vroom, roar roar noises; as well as a marketing exec riding shotgun and declaring that the rearview mirrors hadn't can be found in yet but would certainly be added soon.
Actually (constantly less intriguing) there became plenty of the larger blocks, which together with the pickup market's initial six-speed transmission, are the new Tundra's major claim to fame. The drivetrain is impressive indeed, pushing the Tundra approximately highway speeds faster compared to a 4x4 team cab has a right to go, complete with a passionate grumble from under the hood. Conversely, when you speed up slowly, having six gears keeps the engine speed low, and also the noise in addition to it. The generous torque can be found in a broad band, with a minimum of 90 percent of the optimal torque at hand from 2,400 to 5,500 rpm, according to Toyota's dimensions.
The trans additionally supplies much better gas mileage than the 4.7-liter as well as its five-speed automated in 4x2 Expanses, as well as just regarding a fifty percent an mpg less than the 4.7-liter in 4x4 variations. It's the less-powerful engine that probably would profit extra from the extra equipment, but the 4.7-liter goes to the very least partnered with a five-speed automatic. I located this pairing to be greater than adequate in a Tundra Dual Taxi 4x2, as well as I'm confident it would be adequate with 4WD too. Chevy as well as Ford trucks have four-speeds. The Dodge Ram has 5, as well as Ford has actually assured a six-speed for the next-generation F-Series.
All Tundras are fitted with four-wheel disc brakes with ABDOMINAL, brake assist as well as electronic brake-force circulation. In normal driving, the brakes did their work, yet the numb pedal really feel left lots to be desired. The Silverado has a real side here.
Four-Wheel Drive
The optional 4WD, available just with the V-8, is a straightforward part-time, shift-on-the-fly system with some included tricks that make it more sophisticated. At the twist of a dial, the dual-range transfer situation involves the front axle, which is detached by default for gas savings. The torque is split 50/50 (front/rear), however the standard four-wheel traction control could additionally transfer power from one side to the other on either axle-- in both 4WD high and 4WD reduced settings.
RWD models-- and also 4x4s in 2WD setting-- also have traction control. It can be shut off or set to an intermediate placement Toyota calls Car LSD, which is simply an ABS-based limited-slip differential. It varies from the default traction control in that it allows some wheelspin. When it, also, is switched off, the basic electronic stability system likewise is beat.
Trip & Handling
The brand-new Tundra Dual Taxicab and also CrewMax ride well with a vacant bed-- the worst-case situation. There's some shudder in the framework when rolling over bumps, however this prevails amongst body-on-frame pick-ups, and it's not excessive here. It's feasible that the long-bed variation's longer wheelbase would introduce even more twist or resonance, however I drove only the CrewMax and also the Dual Taxi brief bed. When the first-generation Tundra came out, it was applauded for its ride comfort. Since that time, the competition has actually made inroads and Toyota has actually reconstructed the vehicle for heavier solution. For whatever reason, there's no longer a clear difference. The new Chevy Silverado, particularly, has actually risen to the difficulty.
Readily available on the short-bed SR5 as well as Limited is a TRD (Toyota Racing Growth) Off-Road Bundle that has different tuning thanks to stiffer front coil springtimes as well as back fallen leave springs and firmer Bilstein brand shock absorbers and also bushings. It also consists of distinctive 18-inch alloy wheels, offroad tires as well as front tow hooks. I drove this configuration off-road, where it executed well, however I really did not experience it on pavement. Someone is certain to: The TRD plan is offered on rear-drive trucks.
Pickup steering isn't really anything to obtain delighted around, but the 44-foot transforming size is an achievement on the CrewMax, standard-bed Dual Taxi and also long-bed Normal Taxi. Contrast this to the Ford F-150's 45 feet and the Silverado's 47 feet. This isn't nearly U-turns; it determines just how dramatically you can reduce a swing when you're auto parking or steering a trailer hitch. With a long bed, the Dual Taxicab's circle expands to 49 feet, losing its benefit. The long-bed F-150 does it in 48 feet. (For those maintaining score, the standard-bed Tundra Regular Taxicab turns a 39.2-foot circle.).
The Seating
An additional of the Tundra's firsts is a crew-cab backseat whose 60/40-split sections slide forward and back as well as recline. Doing so requires the largest backseat in a pickup, which the Tundra supplies. With the reclining and the legroom, a limousine would be a reasonable comparison. Several of the room below comes from a bed that's a bit much shorter-- 5.5 feet long versus the Silverado Team Cab's 5.75 feet, however that doesn't explain the F-150, which has a 5.5-foot box as well as a smaller sized backseat.
The Dual Taxicab's backseat isn't really half poor either, with workable legroom and doors that open onward rather than rearward. They swing nearly to an ideal angle with the side, so access as well as departure is as easy as one can expect. The facility floor bulge, as in the CrewMax, is just a couple of inches high.
The common front seat is a 40/20/40-split towel bench that accommodates three owners. To fit much shorter chauffeurs, it's ideal to outfit the Tundra with a seat-height modification and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel. Neither can be found in the base Routine Cab (the criterion wheel just tilts). In the bigger taxis, the SR5 trim level brings premium cloth and also hands-on chauffeur's height modification to the split bench. You'll need the pail seats-- standard on the Restricted and optional on the SR5-- to get power changes and a guiding wheel that both turns as well as telescopes. The Limited additionally adds leather upholstery as well as heated seats.
The Tundra's high hood and also freight box walls create poor exposure promptly around the vehicle. For simplicity of parking, though, front and also rear sonar sharp systems are offered (rear-only is more usual), and the optional navigation system includes a rearview camera that reveals the area behind the vehicle on the dashboard display-- a should for affixing a trailer drawback unassisted. At some time this year Toyota will certainly provide a dealer-installed rearview cam with a 3.5-inch display as a choice separate from the expensive nav feature. Pricing isn't really set for this unusual and welcome feature, however it's estimated to be about $600-- way much better than the navigation/rearview video camera alternative's $2,810 sticker price.
Interior Decoration, High Quality
The "driver-oriented cabin" exceeds the typical angled facility control panel: Elevated and also tinted silver, the left-hand side of the console extends from in between the bucket seats, up the facility control board and also leftward to develop the whole vehicle driver's side of the control panel. I locate the concept intriguing, yet the faux-metal surface isn't the very best I've seen (some are really suitable nowadays). In my viewpoint the dashboard shows the very best (shiny piano-black lacquer) and the worst (plastic copying steel) of modern wood-trim-alternative materials. This silvery stuff becomes part of just what has stalled Toyota's well-regarded interior top quality, which is still good but isn't really pulling away from the much-improved competition.
Like the inner as well as external door deals with, the knobs as well as dials are huge, in keeping with the gloved-workman photo. Taking a step past, the truck additionally identifies how the requirements and also devices of craftsmen have actually transformed-- that the idea of knuckle-dragging sheetrockers and tin-knockers is a thing of the past: Models with pail seats have a center storage space console huge sufficient for a laptop and fitted with rails to sustain hanging documents folders.
Other storage provisions are plentiful. There's a dual handwear cover area and so several bins, nooks as well as cubbies that it resembles a jacket with too many pockets; you may neglect where you place things. I did. In my search, I was however not able to locate the button that amazingly teleports the Tundra to that alternating cosmos where specialists most likely to conceal when they're expected to be completing your kitchen area.
Safety
The Tundra has actually not yet been crash-tested, yet it is fully equipped with basic safety and security functions. Not already pointed out are side-impact air bags for the pole positions as well as side drapes to shield the front as well as rear seats. The drapes are created to release in case of a rollover to secure occupants as well as prevent their ejection. There's a cutoff button so the bags won't release when off-roading.
Cargo & Towing
I didn't drive or check out a Routine Cab, yet dimensions as well as photos reveal a generous storage space location behind the seats with incorporated storage boxes. The Double Taxicab's 60/40-split backseat pillows turn up to disclose a relatively uncluttered floor. I prefer the resulting high vertical room to the CrewMax's fold-down back-rests, which give a good plastic-covered job surface area however not as much floor-to-ceiling elevation.
Nowhere is the new model's better size extra purposeful than in the freight bed, which has actually grown a few inches in many measurements. It currently measures 66.4 inches between the walls as well as 50.0 inches between the wheel wells. The sides are 22.3 inches high. A reduced tailgate expands the CrewMax bed to around 7.5 feet, so even the shortest bed leaves only 1/2 foot of conventional building products hanging.
The securing tailgate has a help strut that makes it possible to lift with a couple of fingers. A bonus offer is that it damps the movement, so eviction additionally lowers gradually under its very own weight instead of slamming down into the support cable televisions. Toyota claims the strut likewise stops jumping when driving with eviction down. Where Nissan uses a factory spray-in bedliner, Toyota has stuck with the plastic lay-in type, thinking that proprietors want the option of removing it down the line and offering a possible new owner with an unmarred bed.
Due to the numerous taxi and bed sizes and also engine and also driveline choices, I could invest the rest of the version year learning haul and lugging specifications for you, so I'll simply say the design line's haul ratings vary from 1,420 extra pounds to 2,060 pounds. (Typical of half-ton vehicles, it can transport an entire ton.) The pulling maxima run from a healthy and balanced 10,100 extra pounds in a 4x4 CrewMax to 10,800 pounds in a 4x2 Routine Taxi when each is equipped with the 5.7-liter V-8 and optional Towing Package, that includes the hitch receiver, electrical wiring, raised rear spring prices, a transmission-fluid cooler and a tow/haul shift setting (on the six-speed just). All the specifics can be discovered by clicking the Requirement Equip. & Specifications and the Available Options switches over on the left.
Tundra on the market
Full-size pickups are the market section international brand names have actually cannot crack-- probably the last continuing to be one. These are the highest-volume as well as highest-profit vehicles that the American firms market, which is possibly why Toyota officers have actually called the new Tundra one of the most important version intro in the company's history. For viewpoint, Ford and also GM market close to a million full-size pickups a year. Toyota may have offered as numerous Tundras since they first went on sale for the 2000 version year. Having offered greater than 124,500 Tundras in 2006, Toyota is conservatively predicting sales of 200,000 for the new generation in 2007, taking into consideration a late launch. Toyota has almost guaranteed a "larger" Tundra, recommending a three-quarter or one-ton variation and possibly a diesel choice.
The new Tundra has some outstanding specifications as well as some attributes that I 'd identify as advancements more than advancements. I could argue that Nissan as well as Honda revealed more development out of eviction than the domestics have, yet that hasn't already given them similar sales or road cred. In this most dedicated of vehicle market sectors, trustworthiness and durability may be more vital. As the automobile market continues to globalize, and as Toyota constructs a growing number of of its designs in North America using more and more domestic components and developing an increasing number of American jobs, the idea of getting a Japanese pickup becomes a growing number of acceptable among purchasers. With the remarkable exception of the United Car Employees and union supporters, the practice of acquiring American simply to acquire American has gradually deteriorated, as well as many Americans have owned or experienced Toyota automobiles as well as SUVs.
Toyota does not frequently get it right the very first time, or necessarily the second, yet it has a history of making generational adjustments that ultimately put its items at or near the top of their automobile class in sales and/or charm. It happened with the Camry, the Corolla as well as the Sienna minivan. It hasn't occurred yet with the Yaris subcompact. It may be occurring right now with the 2007 Tundra.
