Toyota Tundra 1794
2014 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition
The 1794 Version might be one of the most Texan of all Tundra models-- it's named for the year the JLC Ranch, the website of Toyota Motor Production Texas, wased established. Like all 1794 Versions, our tester was a CrewMax version with the 5.5-foot bed and came powered by Toyota's 5.7-liter V-8, which generates 381 hp as well as 401 lb-ft of torque. Our truck additionally came furnished with part-time 4x4 and a selection of TRD Performance parts (as part of the TRD Off-Road plan) and also various other devices that drove the cost as much as $54,796. The 1794 Version aids warrant its MSRP with an indoor covered in soft, smooth leather. The seats, facility console, shifter, dash, and door panels are covered in rich-feeling cowhide, which provides a Western look with its saddle-brown shade as well as white contrast stitching.
Although the natural leather upholstery itself looks good, maybe much better matched with the rest of the interior, which makes use of silver-colored difficult plastics and plasticky-looking wood trim. The door panels as well as dash use the same durable materials found in various other Tundra designs, which is probably a good idea for those who intend on actually utilizing their 1794 as a vehicle. The practical appearance does stick out against the more high end parts of the interior, nevertheless.
After the leather, the next thing you'll discover when entering the Tundra is that this is an older product. You can not get a Tundra in 2017 with hands-free keyless entrance or push-button begin, yet our vehicle did have a remote-start feature, which was a lifesaver in the Texas warm, as I might start the car and also begin cooling off the cabin prior to entering. The entire vehicle was greatly updated in 2014, yet somehow the interior currently feels dated. The steering wheel is beefy as well as showcases controls that look a generation behind, as well as the touchscreen infomercial system-- although flawlessly functional-- lacks the sharp resolution and also rapid feedback consumers have actually concerned get out of new cars and trucks.
Yet if you could look past all that, the Tundra is a solid truck. The trip is smooth on the highway, as well as the inside is mostly silent except for some sound from the TRD Off-Road bundle's 275/65R18-size all-terrain tires. The Tundra manages like a smaller lorry on twisty roadways, as well as it had not been as hard to navigate in the city as you could expect of a full-size pick-up. I was absolutely pleased to have the typical rearview video camera and also car park sensors when I needed to park, though. Steering feel gets on the lighter side, as well as the ratio takes some getting made use of to, yet on the whole the Tundra is very easy to drive.
The V-8 provides plenty of power, as well as the six-speed transmission fasts to kick down a gear when trying to hand down the highway. The drivetrain likewise had no trouble climbing steep grades. A few minutes on a gravel road was the closest I reached off-roading in the Tundra. It had not been challenging enough to actually check the Tundra's capabilities, however if the road ever before got rockier or even more rutted, the truck would certainly have been prepared thanks to the TRD Off-Road plan's off-road-tuned Bilstein shocks, engine as well as gas storage tank skidplates, and also the previously mentioned A/T tires. The Tundra 4 × 4 1794 CrewMax likewise uses 10.4 inches of ground clearance. I didn't have a possibility to tow or haul anything on my trip, however the 4 × 4 1794 Version has a max hauling capability of 8,800 extra pounds and also a max haul of 1,530 extra pounds.
Dealing with the Tundra day to day wouldn't be challenging for motorists of bigger stature, however if you have brief legs like me, getting in can be a difficulty. The driver's side does not have a grab handle on the A-pillar or over the home window frame, so you wind up drawing on your own up on the guiding wheel or the generously sized door armrest. Examining package for the $345 running boards on the choices checklist will certainly remedy this, and it's suggested if you have toddlers so they could much more quickly access the back of the staff taxi. As flip-up rear seats come, the Tundra 1794 Version's benches are pretty comfortable. The natural leather is soft, and there's a lot of cushioning for long drives. There's likewise sufficient legroom. I was able to fit two carry-on roller bags laterally in the footwells without relocating the front seats.
Hopefully development on the next-gen Tundra is well in progress, because the current version is revealing its age. The Tundra 1794 Version is still lavish as well as capable, yet it might benefit from an additional indoor refresh at the very least. The following Tundra will additionally have to deal with its efficiency, as the existing 4 × 4 V-8 is EPA-rated at just 13/17 mpg city/highway, less than nearly each 4 × 4 V-8 pick-up in the course. The 1794 Version does begin less than its Western-themed competitors-- that includes the Ford F-150 King Cattle Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn, and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country-- at $48,375 for a rear-drive model. So if a sea of brown natural leather is the look you're opting for, you'll pay somewhat less for it with Toyota's version.
The Tundra still ticks a lot of the right boxes for today's vehicle customer, but rivals are continuously raising the bar in the full-size pickup category. If the next-gen Tundra can deliver class-leading fuel economic situation, modern-day technology, and also boosted material high quality in addition to the convenience, ability, and toughness today's Tundra already provides, after that Texans will certainly have something they can actually take pride in.
