2008 Toyota Tundra Double Cab
Superiority? Toyota is pulling no strikes by presenting one of the most significant, strongest, as well as many capable vehicles in the sector, along with spending billions in a brand-new cutting edge manufacturing plant in the heart of truck country-San Antonio, Texas. Significance? With Toyota aiming to more than increase its presence in the fiercely objected to half-ton industry, the Tundra stands for one of the most extremely prepared for brand-new lorry launches in several years-- automobile or truck. Value? The brand-new Tundra supplies 3 different powertrains (one V-6 as well as 2 V-8s), with the 5.7-liter V-8 a high-tech wonder and also torque monster-- and also is among one of the most effective engines in any kind of half-ton setup. Toyota's platform has the entire segment covered with 3 different bed dimensions, 3 different wheelbases covering five various cab as well as bed arrangements, combined with 3 various trim packages (Tundra Quality, SR5, and also Limited) in 4 × 4 and 4 × 2 drivetrains-- 44 different truck tastes to interested customers, from job truck to high-end touring.
Using that kind of selection right from eviction is impressive as well as ambitious; as a matter of fact, some may state also ambitious. The recent launch of the brand-new Tundra has not been without a couple of hiccups. Numerous months earlier, an early output of camshafts in the 5.7-liter V-8 were stopping working. Toyota tells us they mapped down all the afflicted parts to a certain set as well as have because made the improvements to the design. No failings have emerged because. A lot more just recently, there have been some reports of transmission shudder under specific low-speed conditions, which suppliers have actually traced to a torque converter issue. Toyota states these incidents were isolated and have additionally been settled. And finally, there's been chatter on the web concerning tailgate problems, which Toyota remains in the process of locating. Our guess is much of these tales spread like wildfire, offered the lightning-rod effect this brand-new vehicle is having with lovers and the rate with which an Internet thing could take a trip. With all that stated, let's take a much deeper consider exactly what's special concerning our 2008 champion.
As discussed in the intro to this unique section, we ran our contenders via a collection of on- and off-road training courses at a working Arizona proving-ground center, subjecting all our examination units to a strenuous set of criteria. It remained in our work-duty screening that the Tundra initially began to capture our interest, with the 5.7-liter V-8 Minimal CrewMax Tundra running miles ahead of the competition, with as well as without a packed trailer in tow (note our efficiency analysis in the tale and the Tundra's winning Performance Rating). The Tundra verified itself a star 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 seating permits a column shifter as well as work-truck rush with a twin glovebox and also hidden center storage area under the center seat. Our totally loaded version had flexible natural leather captain's chairs and also a massive facility console storage space bin, large enough to hold a couple of laptop computers and also act as a filing closet. The CrewMax design, with its prolonged passenger cabin, provides a sliding rear seat with drop-forward and also slide-forward ability.
One of the more vital indoor comforts, cabin quiet (while driving on rough roads or at freeway rates) is most likely the Tundra's many remarkable high quality. If there's a quieter vehicle available, we have not driven it. Only two beefs with the interior: the center pile's too much dimension as well as aesthetic split (appears like it's cut in two) and the place of the navigating system virtually from arm's grab the vehicle driver.
Is it the best truck? That all relies on what you need, yet by offering 44 various flavor options, Toyota anticipates to have what you're searching for, stuffing sturdy truck abilities right into a half-ton truck that's quiet and strong. After some argument, the majority of our judges concur: One of the most deserving competitor for Motor Fad's 2008 Truck of the Year title is the all-new Toyota Tundra.
