2007 Toyota Tundra Sr5
Exterior & Styling
The Tundra is available in three taxicab designs: routine, extended as well as team, named Normal Taxicab, Double Taxi and also CrewMax, respectively. The Regular as well as Double Taxicab variations include brief or long cargo beds measuring 6.5 feet as well as 8.1 feet in size.
There are three trim degrees: The Normal Cab DX is a stripped-down job associate a black grille and also grille framework, as well as black bumpers, side mirrors as well as door and also tailgate handles. It can be upgraded to an SR5 through an option plan that includes-- among practical attributes-- a chrome front bumper with a body-colored cap.
The Tundra resembles the Tacoma midsize pick-up however with a taller, domed hood. Its most unique component is a black strip that covers the crest of the grille frame. I'm unsure I like it, yet there it is. It stands apart more on the body-colored grille border that begins the Sport Look Plan, an option provided for Normal as well as Dual Cabs.
In the Dual and CrewMax styles, the SR5 trim level includes the chrome grille structure, and also the chrome and also body-colored treatment for the back along with the front bumper. The Restricted trim level adds chrome to the grille's 3 crossbars, the door manages and the side mirrors, with the exception of the optional extendable mirrors used for lugging functions. The Limited's front bumper is entirely body-colored, as well as it's the only trim level with typical haze lights.
The conventional wheels are 18 inches, in steel for the SR5 and alloy for the Limited. Twenty-inch alloys are optional.
Going & Stopping
In addition to a V-6 that's common on the Normal Taxicab and Double Taxicab, the Tundra uses 2 V-8 engines. The CrewMax doesn't come with the V-6.
The 5.7-liter V-8 had actually not yet started mass production in Huntsville, Ala., when I got my sneak preview of the Tundra in December 2006. Before I got it, I envisioned three setting up workers behind each vehicle, pressing; an engineer in the bed with a bullhorn making vrooom vroom, roar roar sounds; and also a marketing exec riding shotgun as well as claiming that the rearview mirrors had not come in yet however would be added soon.
Actually (always less fascinating) there turned out to be lots of the bigger blocks, which in addition to the pickup market's first six-speed transmission, are the brand-new Tundra's major claim to fame. The drivetrain goes over certainly, moving the Tundra approximately freeway speeds quicker compared to a 4x4 staff cab has a right to go, finish with a passionate roar from under the hood. On the other hand, when you increase progressively, having 6 equipments keeps the engine speed low, as well as the noise along with it. The generous torque comes in a wide band, with at least 90 percent of the peak torque at hand from 2,400 to 5,500 rpm, inning accordance with Toyota's dimensions.
The trans additionally provides much better gas mileage compared to the 4.7-liter and also its five-speed automatic in 4x2 Expanses, and just about a half an mpg less than the 4.7-liter in 4x4 variations. It's the less-powerful engine that possibly would benefit a lot more from the extra equipment, but the 4.7-liter is at least partnered with a five-speed automated. I discovered this pairing to be greater than adequate in a Tundra Dual Taxicab 4x2, and also I'm positive it would certainly be adequate with 4WD as well. Chevy as well as Ford trucks have four-speeds. The Dodge Ram has 5, and Ford has actually promised a six-speed for the next-generation F-Series.
All Tundras are fitted with four-wheel disc brakes with ABDOMINAL, brake aid as well as electronic brake-force distribution. In typical driving, the brakes did their job, however the numb pedal feel left plenty to be preferred. The Silverado has an actual edge right here.
Four-Wheel Drive
The optional 4WD, offered just with the V-8, is a straightforward part-time, shift-on-the-fly system with some added techniques that make it more innovative. At the twist of a dial, the dual-range transfer instance engages the front axle, which is removed by default for gas savings. The torque is split 50/50 (front/rear), however the basic four-wheel grip control can likewise move power from one side to the various other on either axle-- in both 4WD high as well as 4WD low modes.
RWD models-- and 4x4s in 2WD mode-- additionally have traction control. It can be switched off or readied to an intermediate placement Toyota calls Automobile LSD, which is merely an ABS-based limited-slip differential. It differs from the default grip control because it enables some wheelspin. When it, as well, is switched off, the common digital security system likewise is beat.
Ride & Handling
The new Tundra Double Cab and CrewMax ride well with an empty bed-- the worst-case circumstance. There's some shudder in the framework when surrendering bumps, yet this prevails amongst body-on-frame pickups, and also it's not excessive here. It's possible that the long-bed version's longer wheelbase would certainly introduce even more spin or resonance, however I drove just the CrewMax and the Dual Taxi short bed. When the first-generation Tundra came out, it was applauded for its ride comfort. Because that time, the competition has made inroads as well as Toyota has rebuilt the vehicle for much heavier service. For whatever factor, there's no longer a clear difference. The brand-new Chevy Silverado, particularly, has actually risen to the obstacle.
Offered on the short-bed SR5 and also Minimal is a TRD (Toyota Competing Growth) Off-Road Package that has different tuning courtesy of stiffer front coil springtimes and also rear leaf springtimes and also stronger Bilstein brand shock absorbers and bushings. It likewise includes distinct 18-inch alloy wheels, offroad tires and also front tow hooks. I drove this configuration off-road, where it executed well, however I really did not experience it on pavement. Somebody is particular to: The TRD plan is readily available on rear-drive trucks.
Pickup steering isn't anything to obtain delighted about, but the 44-foot turning size is a success on the CrewMax, standard-bed Double Cab as well as long-bed Normal Taxi. Contrast this to the Ford F-150's 45 feet as well as the Silverado's 47 feet. This isn't almost U-turns; it determines how dramatically you could reduce a swing when you're car parking or navigating a trailer drawback. With a long bed, the Double Taxi's circle grows to 49 feet, shedding its advantage. The long-bed F-150 does it in 48 feet. (For those maintaining score, the standard-bed Tundra Normal Taxi transforms 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 and also recline. Doing so needs the biggest rear seat in a pickup, which the Tundra delivers. With the reclining as well as the legroom, a limousine would certainly be a reasonable contrast. A few of the space here comes from a bed that's a bit much shorter-- 5.5 feet long versus the Silverado Staff Taxicab's 5.75 feet, but that does not explain the F-150, which has a 5.5-foot box as well as a smaller rear seat.
The Dual Taxicab's backseat isn't really half negative either, with convenient legroom and doors that open up ahead instead of rearward. They swing almost to a right angle with the side, so entrance and leave is as basic as one could expect. The facility floor hump, as in the CrewMax, is only a few inches high.
The standard front seat is a 40/20/40-split cloth bench that suits 3 residents. To suit much shorter chauffeurs, it's finest to equip the Tundra with a seat-height modification and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel. Neither is available in the base Normal Cab (the criterion wheel only turns). In the bigger cabs, the SR5 trim level brings costs cloth and also manual driver's elevation adjustment to the split bench. You'll need the container seats-- basic on the Restricted as well as optional on the SR5-- to get power changes and a steering wheel that both tilts and also telescopes. The Limited also adds leather upholstery and heated seats.
The Tundra's high hood as well as cargo box wall surfaces produce inadequate presence quickly around the vehicle. For ease of auto parking, however, front as well as rear sonar sharp systems are supplied (rear-only is extra common), and the optional navigation system consists of a rearview electronic camera that shows the location behind the vehicle on the control panel screen-- a need to for connecting a trailer drawback unassisted. At some time this year Toyota will supply a dealer-installed rearview camera with a 3.5-inch display as a alternative separate from the costly nav attribute. Pricing isn't established for this rare and welcome feature, yet it's estimated to be approximately $600-- means far better compared to the navigation/rearview camera choice's $2,810 list price.
Interior Decoration, Quality
The "driver-oriented cabin" surpasses the typical tilted center control panel: Elevated and tinted silver, the left-hand side of the console prolongs from between the container seats, up the facility control panel and also leftward to develop the entire chauffeur's side of the dashboard. I locate the idea appealing, however the faux-metal finish isn't the best I have actually seen (some are actually suitable nowadays). In my opinion the control panel shows the best (shiny piano-black lacquer) and the worst (plastic copying metal) of modern wood-trim-alternative materials. This silvery stuff belongs to exactly what has actually stalled Toyota's well-regarded indoor quality, which is still good but isn't pulling away from the much-improved competition.
Like the inner and also external door handles, the knobs and dials are huge, in maintaining with the gloved-workman picture. Taking an action past, the vehicle also recognizes just how the demands and tools of craftsmen have actually transformed-- that the idea of knuckle-dragging sheetrockers and also tin-knockers is a distant memory: Designs with bucket seats have a center storage console huge enough for a notebook computer and also fitted with rails to sustain hanging data folders.
Various other storage stipulations are plentiful. There's a dual handwear cover area therefore several containers, spaces and cubbies that it's like a coat with too many pockets; you may forget where you put things. I did. In my search, I was sadly not able to locate the switch that magically teleports the Tundra to that alternative world where service providers go to hide when they're supposed to be finishing your kitchen area.
Safety and security
The Tundra has actually not yet been crash-tested, but it is well-equipped with conventional security features. Not already stated are side-impact airbags for the pole positions as well as side drapes to safeguard the front and back seats. The curtains are made to release in case of a rollover to secure owners as well as prevent their ejection. There's a cutoff button so the bags will not deploy when off-roading.
Freight & Towing
I didn't drive or discover a Normal Cab, however dimensions and images reveal a charitable storage space location behind the seats with integrated storage space boxes. The Double Cab's 60/40-split backseat paddings turn approximately expose a reasonably minimalist flooring. I choose the resulting high upright space to the CrewMax's fold-down backrests, which offer a great plastic-covered work surface area but not as much floor-to-ceiling height.
No place is the brand-new model's higher size a lot more significant compared to in the freight bed, which has actually expanded a few inches in most dimensions. It currently determines 66.4 inches in between the wall surfaces and also 50.0 inches between the wheel wells. The sides are 22.3 inches high. A lowered tailgate extends the CrewMax bed to about 7.5 feet, so even the shortest bed leaves just 1/2 foot of standard building products hanging.
The locking tailgate has an aid strut that makes it possible to raise with 1 or 2 fingers. An incentive is that it damps the motion, so eviction also decreases slowly under its very own weight instead of knocking down onto the support cable televisions. Toyota says the strut also avoids jumping when driving with the gate down. Where Nissan provides a manufacturing facility spray-in bedliner, Toyota has actually stuck with the plastic lay-in kind, thinking that proprietors want the alternative of removing it down the line and also giving a possible new proprietor with an unmarred bed.
Because of the various taxi and bed dimensions as well as engine as well as driveline options, I can spend the remainder of the model year learning haul as well as towing specifications for you, so I'll simply state the model line's haul rankings range from 1,420 pounds to 2,060 pounds. (Common of half-ton trucks, it could transport an entire ton.) The hauling maxima range from a healthy and balanced 10,100 pounds in a 4x4 CrewMax to 10,800 extra pounds in a 4x2 Normal Taxicab when each is outfitted with the 5.7-liter V-8 and optional Towing Package, that includes the drawback receiver, electrical wiring, enhanced rear spring rates, a transmission-fluid colder and also a tow/haul shift mode (on the six-speed just). All the specifics can be found by clicking on the Criterion Equip. & Specs as well as the Available Options buttons over on the left.
Tundra out there
Full-size pickups are the marketplace segment foreign brand names have actually cannot fracture-- probably the last continuing to be one. These are the highest-volume as well as highest-profit automobiles that the American business sell, which is possibly why Toyota officers have called the new Tundra the most important design intro in the firm's background. For perspective, Ford as well as GM market near to a million full-size pickups a year. Toyota may have marketed as numerous Tundras given that they initially went on sale for the 2000 version year. Having offered more than 124,500 Tundras in 2006, Toyota is conservatively forecasting sales of 200,000 for the brand-new generation in 2007, taking into account a late launch. Toyota has just about promised a "bigger" Tundra, suggesting a three-quarter or one-ton version and also possibly a diesel alternative.
The new Tundra has some remarkable specs as well as some functions that I 'd characterize as improvements more than advancements. I might suggest that Nissan and also Honda revealed more advancement from the gate compared to the domestics have, but that hasn't already given them comparable sales or road cred. In this most dedicated of car market sectors, credibility and also long life might be more important. As the automotive market continuouslies globalize, and as Toyota develops a growing number of of its versions in North America using more and more residential parts and also developing more and more American tasks, the idea of acquiring a Japanese pick-up becomes increasingly more appropriate among buyers. With the noteworthy exception of the United Car Workers and also union supporters, the method of getting American simply to get American has slowly eroded, and also many Americans have owned or experienced Toyota cars and trucks as well as SUVs.
Toyota does not typically get it right the first time, or necessarily the 2nd, however it has a history of making generational changes that ultimately put its products at or near the top of their automobile class in sales and/or appeal. It happened with the Camry, the Corolla as well as the Sienna minivan. It hasn't happened yet with the Yaris subcompact. It might be occurring now with the 2007 Tundra.
