2007 Toyota Tundra Specs
Exterior & Designing
The Tundra is available in three taxi designs: regular, extended as well as crew, named Regular Taxicab, Dual Taxi and CrewMax, respectively. The Regular and Dual Taxicab variations come with short or lengthy freight beds measuring 6.5 feet as well as 8.1 feet in length.
There are three trim levels: The Normal Taxicab DX is a stripped-down job associate a black grille as well as grille framework, and also black bumpers, side mirrors as well as door and tailgate manages. It can be upgraded to an SR5 by means of a choice bundle that adds-- amongst functional features-- a chrome front bumper with a body-colored cap.
The Tundra appears like the Tacoma midsize pickup but with a taller, domed hood. Its most unique component is a black strip that spans the crest of the grille frame. I'm unsure I like it, yet there it is. It stands apart much more on the body-colored grille border that begins the Sport Look Plan, an option used for Routine and Double Cabs.
In the Double and also CrewMax designs, the SR5 trim degree adds the chrome grille structure, and also the chrome as well as body-colored treatment for the rear in addition to the front bumper. The Minimal trim degree includes chrome to the grille's three crossbars, the door takes care of as well as the side mirrors, with the exception of the optional extendable mirrors used for lugging functions. The Limited's front bumper is totally body-colored, as well as it's the only trim level with basic haze lights.
The typical wheels are 18 inches, in steel for the SR5 and also alloy for the Limited. Twenty-inch alloys are optional.
Going & Preventing
In addition to a V-6 that's standard on the Regular Taxi and Double Taxi, the Tundra provides two V-8 engines. The CrewMax does not featured the V-6.
The 5.7-liter V-8 had not yet started mass production in Huntsville, Ala., when I got my preview of the Tundra in December 2006. Before I got it, I pictured three setting up workers behind each vehicle, pressing; an engineer in the bed with a bullhorn making vrooom vroom, roar roll audios; and an advertising and marketing officer riding shotgun as well as asserting that the rearview mirrors hadn't been available in yet but would be added quickly.
Actually (always less fascinating) there turned out to be a lot of the bigger blocks, which along with the pickup market's very first six-speed automatic transmission, are the new Tundra's primary specialty. The drivetrain goes over undoubtedly, thrusting the Tundra approximately freeway speeds faster compared to a 4x4 team cab has a right to go, complete with a passionate grumble from under the hood. On the other hand, when you accelerate gradually, having 6 gears keeps the engine rate reduced, and also the sound along with it. The charitable torque comes in a broad band, with at least 90 percent of the peak torque at hand from 2,400 to 5,500 rpm, according to Toyota's measurements.
The trans additionally provides far better gas mileage compared to the 4.7-liter as well as its five-speed automated in 4x2 Tundras, and also only about a fifty percent an mpg less than the 4.7-liter in 4x4 versions. It's the less-powerful engine that probably would benefit much more from the additional gear, however the 4.7-liter is at least partnered with a five-speed automated. I discovered this pairing to be more than appropriate in an Expanse Double Cab 4x2, and I'm confident it would be adequate with 4WD also. Chevy and Ford vehicles have four-speeds. The Dodge Ram has five, and Ford has promised a six-speed for the next-generation F-Series.
All Tundras are fitted with four-wheel disc brakes with ABDOMINAL MUSCLE, brake help and also electronic brake-force circulation. In normal driving, the brakes did their task, however the numb pedal feel left lots to be desired. The Silverado has an actual edge here.
Four-Wheel Drive
The optional 4WD, available just with the V-8, is a basic part-time, shift-on-the-fly system with some added methods that make it extra sophisticated. At the twist of a dial, the dual-range transfer situation engages the front axle, which is removed by default for gas savings. The torque is split 50/50 (front/rear), however the common four-wheel traction control could likewise move power from one side to the other on either axle-- in both 4WD high as well as 4WD low settings.
RWD models-- as well as 4x4s in 2WD setting-- likewise have traction control. It can be switched off or readied to an intermediate placement Toyota calls Automobile LSD, which is simply an ABS-based limited-slip differential. It varies from the default traction control in that it permits some wheelspin. When it, as well, is turned off, the standard electronic stability system additionally is beat.
Flight & Handling
The new Tundra Double Taxi and also CrewMax ride well with a vacant bed-- the worst-case circumstance. There's some shudder in the structure when rolling over bumps, yet this prevails amongst body-on-frame pick-ups, and also it's not excessive below. It's possible that the long-bed variation's longer wheelbase would introduce even more twist or resonance, but I drove just the CrewMax and also the Double Taxicab short bed. When the first-generation Tundra came out, it was applauded for its flight comfort. Since that time, the competitors has made invasions and also Toyota has actually rebuilt the truck for heavier solution. For whatever factor, there's no more a clear distinction. The brand-new Chevy Silverado, particularly, has actually risen to the challenge.
Offered on the short-bed SR5 as well as Restricted is a TRD (Toyota Racing Advancement) Off-Road Plan that has various tuning thanks to stiffer front coil springtimes and also back fallen leave springtimes and also stronger Bilstein brand shock absorbers and bushings. It additionally includes distinctive 18-inch alloy wheels, offroad tires and front tow hooks. I drove this setup off-road, where it executed well, however I didn't experience it on sidewalk. Somebody is certain to: The TRD plan is readily available on rear-drive trucks.
Pickup steering isn't anything to get excited about, but the 44-foot transforming diameter is an accomplishment on the CrewMax, standard-bed Dual Cab and also long-bed Normal Cab. Compare this to the Ford F-150's 45 feet and also the Silverado's 47 feet. This isn't really practically U-turns; it dictates how sharply you could cut a swing when you're car park or navigating a trailer hitch. With a long bed, the Double Taxicab's circle grows to 49 feet, shedding its advantage. The long-bed F-150 does it in 48 feet. (For those maintaining rating, the standard-bed Tundra Routine Cab transforms a 39.2-foot circle.).
The Seating
An additional of the Tundra's firsts is a crew-cab backseat whose 60/40-split sectors slide forward and back as well as recline. Doing so requires the biggest backseat in a pick-up, which the Tundra delivers. With the reclining as well as the legroom, a limousine would certainly be a fair contrast. A few of the area right here originates from a bed that's a little bit much shorter-- 5.5 feet long versus the Silverado Crew Taxi's 5.75 feet, yet that doesn't describe the F-150, which has a 5.5-foot box and a smaller rear seat.
The Double Cab's backseat isn't really half negative either, with workable legroom as well as doors that open up onward instead of rearward. They swing virtually to an appropriate angle with the side, so entry and also departure is as simple as one can anticipate. The center floor hump, as in the CrewMax, is only a few inches high.
The typical pole position is a 40/20/40-split towel bench that accommodates three passengers. To accommodate shorter chauffeurs, it's best to equip the Tundra with a seat-height adjustment and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel. Neither comes in the base Routine Cab (the standard wheel just tilts). In the larger taxicabs, the SR5 trim degree brings premium cloth and manual motorist's elevation modification to the split bench. You'll require the pail seats-- typical on the Restricted and optional on the SR5-- to obtain power adjustments as well as a guiding wheel that both tilts and also telescopes. The Limited additionally includes leather furniture as well as heated seats.
The Tundra's high hood and also cargo box wall surfaces make for bad visibility quickly around the vehicle. For ease of auto parking, though, front and also rear finder sharp systems are supplied (rear-only is extra common), as well as the optional navigating system consists of a rearview cam that shows the area behind the vehicle on the control panel display-- a must for connecting a trailer hitch unassisted. At some time this year Toyota will certainly supply a dealer-installed rearview electronic camera with a 3.5-inch display as a stand-alone choice separate from the pricey nav function. Rates isn't really established for this uncommon and also welcome feature, but it's approximated to be roughly $600-- means better than the navigation/rearview camera choice's $2,810 market price.
Interior Decoration, High Quality
The "driver-oriented cabin" goes beyond the usual tilted facility control board: Raised and colored silver, the left-hand side of the console extends from in between the bucket seats, up the center control board and also leftward to develop the whole driver's side of the dashboard. I find the principle appealing, yet the faux-metal finish isn't really the best I have actually seen (some are in fact respectable nowadays). In my viewpoint the dashboard displays the very best (shiny piano-black lacquer) as well as the most awful (plastic imitating steel) of contemporary wood-trim-alternative materials. This silvery things is part of what has delayed Toyota's well-regarded indoor top quality, which is still great yet isn't really pulling away from the much-improved competition.
Like the internal and external door manages, the handles and also dials are big, in maintaining with the gloved-workman image. Taking a step past, the truck also recognizes just how the demands as well as devices of craftsmen have actually transformed-- that the notion of knuckle-dragging sheetrockers and also tin-knockers is a thing of the past: Models with container seats have a center storage space console large enough for a laptop computer as well as fitted with rails to sustain hanging documents folders.
Various other storage space stipulations abound. There's a double handwear cover area therefore lots of bins, nooks and cubbies that it's like a coat with way too many pockets; you could fail to remember where you put things. I did. In my search, I was sadly unable to discover the switch that magically teleports the Tundra to that alternative universe where contractors most likely to conceal when they're expected to be finishing your kitchen area.
Safety
The Tundra has actually not yet been crash-tested, however it is fully equipped with conventional security attributes. Not currently pointed out are side-impact air bags for the front seats and side curtains to secure the front as well as rear seats. The curtains are developed to release in the event of a rollover to shield occupants and stop their ejection. There's a cutoff button so the bags will not deploy when off-roading.
Cargo & Towing
I really did not drive or discover a Regular Cab, however measurements and photos show a generous storage location behind the seats with incorporated storage space boxes. The Dual Taxicab's 60/40-split rear seat cushions flip approximately expose a reasonably minimalist flooring. I prefer the resulting high vertical room to the CrewMax's fold-down backrests, which offer a nice plastic-covered work surface area but not as much floor-to-ceiling height.
Nowhere is the new design's higher size extra meaningful compared to in the freight bed, which has actually expanded a few inches in most measurements. It now determines 66.4 inches in between the walls as well as 50.0 inches between the wheel wells. The sides are 22.3 inches high. A reduced tailgate prolongs the CrewMax bed to around 7.5 feet, so also the shortest bed leaves just 1/2 foot of standard structure products hanging.
The securing tailgate has an aid strut that makes it possible to lift with one or two fingers. A bonus is that it damps the movement, so the gate likewise decreases slowly under its own weight instead of pounding down into the support cords. Toyota states the strut additionally stops jumping when driving with the gate down. Where Nissan provides a manufacturing facility spray-in bedliner, Toyota has actually stuck to the plastic lay-in kind, thinking that proprietors desire the alternative of removing it down the line and providing a possible new proprietor with an unmarred bed.
Due to the various taxi and bed dimensions as well as engine and driveline options, I could spend the remainder of the version year wading through payload as well as pulling specs for you, so I'll simply state the model line's haul ratings vary from 1,420 extra pounds to 2,060 pounds. (Typical of half-ton vehicles, it can haul a whole ton.) The lugging optimums range from a healthy and balanced 10,100 extra pounds in a 4x4 CrewMax to 10,800 extra pounds in a 4x2 Normal Cab when each is equipped with the 5.7-liter V-8 and optional Towing Bundle, which includes the hitch receiver, wiring, boosted back springtime rates, a transmission-fluid cooler and a tow/haul shift mode (on the six-speed only). All the specifics can be located by clicking on the Standard Equip. & Specifications and the Available Options switches above left wing.
Tundra in the Market
Full-size pick-ups are the market section international brands have cannot break-- probably the last staying one. These are the highest-volume as well as highest-profit cars that the American business sell, which is most likely why Toyota execs have actually called the new Tundra one of the most crucial model introduction in the business's background. For point of view, Ford and also GM sell close to a million full-size pickups a year. Toyota could have sold as several Tundras because they first took place sale for the 2000 version year. Having actually offered greater than 124,500 Tundras in 2006, Toyota is cautiously projecting sales of 200,000 for the new generation in 2007, thinking about a late launch. Toyota has just about promised a "larger" Tundra, suggesting a three-quarter or one-ton version as well as perhaps a diesel alternative.
The new Tundra has some impressive specs and some attributes that I would certainly characterize as improvements greater than innovations. I could argue that Nissan and Honda showed more advancement from the gate than the domestics have, but that hasn't already provided equivalent sales or street cred. In this most faithful of automobile market sections, credibility and durability may be more crucial. As the automotive industry continuouslies globalize, and as Toyota develops a growing number of of its models in North America using a growing number of residential parts as well as producing more and more American jobs, the concept of buying a Japanese pickup ends up being an increasing number of acceptable among customers. With the remarkable exception of the United Automobile Employees and union fans, the practice of getting American simply to buy American has slowly deteriorated, as well as several Americans have possessed or experienced Toyota automobiles as well as SUVs.
Toyota does not typically get it right the first time, or always the 2nd, yet it has a background of making generational changes that eventually placed its products at or near the top of their vehicle class in sales and/or charm. It happened with the Camry, the Corolla and also the Sienna minivan. It hasn't occurred yet with the Yaris subcompact. It could be happening now with the 2007 Tundra.
