2007 Toyota Tundra For Sale
Exterior & Styling
The Tundra is available in three taxi designs: normal, prolonged and also team, named Routine Cab, Double Cab and CrewMax, respectively. The Normal as well as Double Taxi variations include short or long freight beds measuring 6.5 feet as well as 8.1 feet in size.
There are 3 trim levels: The Normal Cab DX is a stripped-down job truck with a black grille as well as grille frame, and also black bumpers, side mirrors and door and also tailgate takes care of. It can be updated to an SR5 through a choice package that adds-- amongst functional features-- a chrome front bumper with a body-colored cap.
The Tundra looks like the Tacoma midsize pick-up but with a taller, domed hood. Its most distinctive aspect is a black strip that covers the crest of the grille structure. I'm uncertain I like it, but there it is. It sticks out extra on the body-colored grille surround that comes on the Sporting activity Look Package, an alternative supplied for Routine and Double Taxicabs.
In the Double and also CrewMax styles, the SR5 trim degree includes the chrome grille framework, as well as the chrome and also body-colored therapy for the back along with the front bumper. The Limited trim level includes chrome to the grille's three bars, the door deals with and the side mirrors, with the exception of the optional extendable mirrors provided for pulling functions. The Limited's front bumper is totally body-colored, and it's the only trim level with common fog lights.
The basic wheels are 18 inches, in steel for the SR5 as well as alloy for the Limited. Twenty-inch alloys are optional.
Going & Preventing
Together with a V-6 that's common on the Regular Taxi as well as Double Taxi, the Tundra supplies 2 V-8 engines. The CrewMax does not come with the V-6.
The 5.7-liter V-8 had not yet begun automation in Huntsville, Ala., when I obtained my sneak preview of the Tundra in December 2006. Before I got it, I imagined three assembly workers behind each truck, pressing; a designer in the bed with a bullhorn making vrooom vroom, roll roll sounds; and an advertising exec riding shotgun as well as claiming that the rearview mirrors had not come in yet but would be added soon.
In reality (constantly less intriguing) there became a lot of the bigger blocks, which along with the pickup truck market's first six-speed automatic transmission, are the new Tundra's main claim to fame. The drivetrain is impressive undoubtedly, driving the Tundra as much as highway speeds much faster compared to a 4x4 team taxi has a right to go, complete with a hearty grumble from under the hood. Alternatively, when you accelerate progressively, having 6 equipments maintains the engine rate reduced, as well as the noise along with it. The generous torque can be found in a wide band, with a minimum of 90 percent of the top torque on tap from 2,400 to 5,500 rpm, according to Toyota's dimensions.
The trans also supplies much better gas mileage than the 4.7-liter and also its five-speed automatic in 4x2 Expanses, and also just concerning a fifty percent an mpg less than the 4.7-liter in 4x4 variations. It's the less-powerful engine that probably would benefit extra from the added equipment, however the 4.7-liter is at least partnered with a five-speed automatic. I located this pairing to be more than appropriate in an Expanse Dual Cab 4x2, and also I'm certain it would suffice with 4WD also. Chevy and Ford trucks have four-speeds. The Dodge Ram has 5, and Ford has actually guaranteed a six-speed for the next-generation F-Series.
All Tundras are fitted with four-wheel disc brakes with ABDOMINAL, brake assist and also electronic brake-force distribution. In normal driving, the brakes did their job, yet the numb pedal feel left plenty to be preferred. The Silverado has a genuine edge below.
Four-Wheel Drive
The optional 4WD, available only with the V-8, is a straightforward part-time, shift-on-the-fly system with some added methods that make it more innovative. At the twist of a dial, the dual-range transfer case involves the front axle, which is removed by default for fuel savings. The torque is split 50/50 (front/rear), but the common four-wheel traction control can additionally move power from one side to the other on either axle-- in both 4WD high and also 4WD low settings.
RWD models-- and also 4x4s in 2WD mode-- likewise have grip control. It can be shut off or readied to an intermediate position Toyota calls Auto LSD, which is simply an ABS-based limited-slip differential. It differs from the default traction control in that it permits some wheelspin. When it, also, is switched off, the conventional electronic stability system likewise is defeated.
Ride & Handling
The new Tundra Double Cab and CrewMax ride well with a vacant bed-- the worst-case situation. There's some shudder in the structure when rolling over bumps, but this is common amongst body-on-frame pick-ups, as well as it's not excessive here. It's possible that the long-bed version's longer wheelbase would present more twist or vibration, however I drove just the CrewMax and the Dual Taxi brief bed. When the first-generation Tundra came out, it was praised for its flight comfort. Since that time, the competition has actually made invasions and Toyota has restored the truck for heavier solution. For whatever reason, there's no longer a clear difference. The brand-new Chevy Silverado, in particular, has risen to the challenge.
Readily available on the short-bed SR5 and Limited is a TRD (Toyota Racing Advancement) Off-Road Bundle that has various adjusting courtesy of stiffer front coil springtimes and back leaf springs as well as stronger Bilstein brand shock absorbers as well as bushings. It also includes distinct 18-inch alloy wheels, offroad tires and front tow hooks. I drove this configuration off-road, where it carried out well, yet I didn't experience it on sidewalk. A person is specific to: The TRD plan is available on rear-drive trucks.
Pickup guiding isn't really anything to obtain thrilled around, however the 44-foot turning diameter is a success on the CrewMax, standard-bed Double Taxi as well as long-bed Normal Cab. Contrast this to the Ford F-150's 45 feet and the Silverado's 47 feet. This isn't just about U-turns; it determines just how dramatically you can cut a swing when you're car park or steering a trailer drawback. With a lengthy bed, the Double Cab's circle grows to 49 feet, shedding its benefit. The long-bed F-150 does it in 48 feet. (For those maintaining rating, the standard-bed Tundra Normal Taxi transforms a 39.2-foot circle.).
The Seats
One more of the Tundra's firsts is a crew-cab backseat whose 60/40-split sectors slide forward and back and also recline. Doing so needs the largest rear seat in a pickup, which the Tundra delivers. With the reclining and the legroom, a limo would be a reasonable contrast. A few of the room right here comes from a bed that's a little bit much shorter-- 5.5 feet long versus the Silverado Staff Taxi's 5.75 feet, however that does not explain the F-150, which has a 5.5-foot box as well as a smaller backseat.
The Double Taxicab's rear seat isn't half bad either, with convenient legroom as well as doors that open up onward instead of rearward. They swing almost to an appropriate angle with the side, so entry as well as leave is as simple as one can expect. The facility flooring bulge, as in the CrewMax, is just a few inches high.
The common front seat is a 40/20/40-split towel bench that accommodates three owners. To suit much shorter motorists, it's best to outfit the Tundra with a seat-height adjustment as well as a tilt/telescoping steering wheel. Neither can be found in the base Normal Taxicab (the criterion wheel just turns). In the larger cabs, the SR5 trim level brings premium towel as well as manual driver's height adjustment to the split bench. You'll need the bucket seats-- basic on the Limited and optional on the SR5-- to get power adjustments and also a steering wheel that both turns as well as telescopes. The Limited also adds leather upholstery as well as heated seats.
The Tundra's high hood as well as freight box wall surfaces make for bad exposure quickly around the truck. For ease of car park, however, front as well as rear sonar alert systems are provided (rear-only is much more common), as well as the optional navigation system consists of a rearview camera that shows the area behind the vehicle on the control panel screen-- a have to for affixing a trailer hitch unassisted. At some point this year Toyota will certainly provide a dealer-installed rearview cam with a 3.5-inch display as a alternative different from the pricey nav attribute. Pricing isn't really established for this rare and also welcome function, but it's approximated to be roughly $600-- way much better compared to the navigation/rearview electronic camera choice's $2,810 retail price.
Interior Decoration, High Quality
The "driver-oriented cabin" goes beyond the typical tilted facility control board: Increased and also tinted silver, the left-hand side of the console extends from in between the pail seats, up the center control panel and leftward to form the entire motorist's side of the control panel. I discover the concept intriguing, yet the faux-metal surface isn't the best I have actually seen (some are really good nowadays). In my point of view the control panel shows the very best (shiny piano-black lacquer) and also the worst (plastic imitating metal) of modern wood-trim-alternative products. This silvery stuff belongs to just what has actually stalled Toyota's well-regarded indoor top quality, which is still excellent but isn't retreating from the much-improved competitors.
Like the internal and external door takes care of, the handles as well as dials are large, in keeping with the gloved-workman picture. Taking a step beyond, the truck additionally acknowledges just how the demands and also devices of artisans have altered-- that the notion of knuckle-dragging sheetrockers and tin-knockers is a distant memory: Versions with container seats have a facility storage space console big sufficient for a notebook computer and also fitted with rails to sustain hanging data folders.
Various other storage space stipulations are plentiful. There's a double glove area therefore several containers, nooks as well as cubbies that it resembles a jacket with a lot of pockets; you could neglect where you place things. I did. In my search, I was unfortunately unable to find the button that magically teleports the Tundra to that alternate world where service providers most likely to hide when they're supposed to be completing your kitchen.
Security
The Tundra has actually not yet been crash-tested, yet it is fully equipped with common safety and security attributes. Not already stated are side-impact airbags for the pole positions and also side drapes to secure the front as well as rear seats. The curtains are made to release in case of a rollover to secure occupants and stop their ejection. There's a cutoff switch so the bags will not deploy when off-roading.
Cargo & Towing
I didn't drive or discover a Normal Taxi, however measurements and also photos show a charitable storage space location behind the seats with incorporated storage boxes. The Dual Cab's 60/40-split backseat pillows flip as much as reveal a fairly uncluttered floor. I choose the resulting high vertical area to the CrewMax's fold-down backrests, which offer a nice plastic-covered job surface area however not as much floor-to-ceiling height.
No place is the brand-new model's better dimension a lot more significant compared to in the cargo bed, which has actually grown a few inches in the majority of dimensions. It now determines 66.4 inches in between the wall surfaces and also 50.0 inches in between the wheel wells. The sides are 22.3 inches high. A decreased tailgate expands the CrewMax bed to around 7.5 feet, so even the shortest bed leaves only 1/2 foot of conventional building materials hanging.
The securing tailgate has a help strut that makes it feasible to raise with one or two fingers. A perk is that it damps the motion, so the gate likewise decreases slowly under its very own weight instead of slamming down onto the assistance wires. Toyota says the strut also protects against bouncing when driving with the gate down. Where Nissan uses a factory spray-in bedliner, Toyota has actually stuck with the plastic lay-in type, thinking that proprietors want the alternative of removing it down the line as well as supplying a potential new proprietor with an unmarred bed.
Due to the various cab and bed dimensions and also engine and driveline selections, I could spend the remainder of the version year wading through haul and pulling specs for you, so I'll just state the version line's haul ratings range from 1,420 extra pounds to 2,060 pounds. (Common of half-ton vehicles, it could transport a whole lot.) The lugging maxima run from a healthy 10,100 pounds in a 4x4 CrewMax to 10,800 pounds in a 4x2 Regular Taxicab when each is furnished with the 5.7-liter V-8 and optional Towing Package, that includes the hitch receiver, electrical wiring, boosted rear springtime rates, a transmission-fluid colder and also a tow/haul shift setting (on the six-speed only). All the specifics can be found by clicking the Criterion Equip. & Specs as well as the Available Options switches over on the left.
Tundra in the Market
Full-size pick-ups are the market segment international brands have actually failed to split-- perhaps the last continuing to be one. These are the highest-volume and highest-profit vehicles that the American firms offer, which is most likely why Toyota execs have called the new Tundra one of the most essential design intro in the firm's history. For perspective, Ford as well as GM offer near to a million full-size pick-ups a year. Toyota might have sold as numerous Tundras considering that they initially went on sale for the 2000 design year. Having sold more than 124,500 Tundras in 2006, Toyota is conservatively projecting sales of 200,000 for the new generation in 2007, taking into consideration a late launch. Toyota has all but promised a "bigger" Tundra, recommending a three-quarter or one-ton version and possibly a diesel option.
The new Tundra has some impressive specifications as well as some attributes that I 'd identify as developments greater than innovations. I can say that Nissan and also Honda revealed more innovation out of eviction compared to the domestics have, but that hasn't already provided comparable sales or road cred. In this most devoted of lorry market segments, trustworthiness and durability may be more vital. As the automobile industry continues to globalize, and also as Toyota develops more and more of its designs in The United States and Canada using more and more domestic components and producing a growing number of American work, the idea of buying a Japanese pickup comes to be a growing number of appropriate among purchasers. With the significant exception of the United Automobile Workers and union advocates, the method of acquiring American just to purchase American has slowly deteriorated, and also lots of Americans have actually possessed or experienced Toyota autos and SUVs.
Toyota doesn't usually get it right the very first time, or always the 2nd, yet it has a background of making generational adjustments that ultimately placed its items at or near the top of their car course in sales and/or appeal. It occurred with the Camry, the Corolla and the Sienna minivan. It hasn't occurred yet with the Yaris subcompact. It might be occurring now with the 2007 Tundra.
