Summary

The Tundra is Toyota's full-size truck, slotting over the Tacoma. It is offered with three engine options, rear- or 4x4, 3 taxicab setups, and also with a basic or long bed.

Lorry Introduction

The Tundra is a tiny gamer in the full-size truck sector due to its aging powertrains as well as absence of refinement compared with competitors from General Motors, Ford, and Ram. A 4.0-liter V-6 producing 270 hp as well as 278 lb-ft of torque, a 4.6-liter V-8 making 310 hp and 327 lb-ft, and also a 5.7-liter V-8 generating 381 hp as well as 401 lb-ft combined to a 5- or six-speed automated carry over from the pre-refresh Tundra. Toyota improved the truck by improving the trip top quality, retuning the suspension for much better security, and reducing roadway noise to improve comfort on-road. Off the pavement, the vehicle remains comfortable, filtering out harsh surfaces. Relating to gas economic situation, the EPA prices the rear-drive Toyota Tundra 16/20 mpg city/highway for V-6 versions, 15/19 mpg with the 4.6-liter V-8, as well as 13/18 with the 5.7-liter V-8. 4x4 is just offered on the V-8 versions and also they are ranked at 14/18 mpg for the 4.6-liter while the 5.7-liter accomplishes 13/17 mpg.

While Toyota improved the 2014 Tundra's inside, it hangs back rivals because of unequal use soft and also tough plastics. Wind sound stays an issue regardless of initiatives making the cabin a lot more premium than before. Boosted seats make the cabin a better place to hang out in while the roomy back seats have adequate area for full-sized grownups. The enhancement of a brand-new infotainment system as well as basic Entune Costs Audio updates the 2014 Tundra.

Depending on the version, the Toyota Tundra has a three- and four-star general safety rating from the NHTSA (out of a feasible 5 star) while IIHS has actually provided it a great score throughout four classifications (great is the highest feasible score) except the little overlap front group, where it has not been tested.

What We Think

The Tundra's carryover powertrains hold it back when compared to full-size trucks from GM, Ford, and also Ram, which are geared up with advanced as well as reliable engines and also transmissions. In an Initial Test evaluation of a 2014 Tundra 1794 CrewMax Version, we said that the brand-new model remains to drag its competitors in fuel economic situation, displaying a "Texas-size crave gas." In addition, in our Very first Drive evaluation, we kept in mind the deceitful nature of the interior, which "appeared like a solid hunk of aluminum removed an Audi as well as really feeling 3-cent plastic."
