2014 Toyota Tundra


Summary

The Tundra is Toyota's full-size truck, slotting over the Tacoma. It is available with three engine selections, back- or 4x4, three taxicab setups, as well as with a standard or lengthy bed.

Car Overview

The Tundra is a little player in the full-size vehicle section due to its aging powertrains and also lack of refinement compared to competitors from General Motors, Ford, and Ram. A 4.0-liter V-6 creating 270 hp as well as 278 lb-ft of torque, a 4.6-liter V-8 making 310 hp as well as 327 lb-ft, as well as a 5.7-liter V-8 generating 381 hp and also 401 lb-ft combined to a 5- or six-speed automatic carry over from the pre-refresh Tundra. Toyota refined the vehicle by enhancing the trip high quality, retuning the suspension for much better security, and minimizing roadway noise to improve comfort on-road. Off the sidewalk, the truck continues to be comfy, filtering out harsh surfaces. Pertaining to gas economic climate, 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. Four-wheel drive is only readily available on the V-8 versions and they are rated at 14/18 mpg for the 4.6-liter while the 5.7-liter attains 13/17 mpg.

While Toyota enhanced the 2014 Tundra's interior, it hangs back rivals due to irregular use soft and also hard plastics. Wind noise remains a concern despite initiatives making the cabin much more premium than before. Enhanced seats make the cabin a better place to spend time in while the large rear seats have sufficient room for full-sized grownups. The enhancement of a new infomercial system and also standard Entune Costs Audio improves the 2014 Tundra.

Depending upon the model, the Toyota Tundra has a 3- and four-star overall safety and security score from the NHTSA (out of a possible five stars) while IIHS has offered it an excellent score throughout four classifications (good is the greatest possible rating) except the tiny overlap front group, where it has not been checked.

What We Think

The Tundra's carryover powertrains hold it when compared with full-size vehicles from GM, Ford, and Ram, which are outfitted with advanced and effective engines as well as transmissions. In a First Examination testimonial of a 2014 Tundra 1794 CrewMax Edition, we said that the new model continues to lag behind its competitors in gas economic situation, displaying a "Texas-size thirst for gas." In addition, in our First Drive evaluation, we kept in mind the deceitful nature of the interior, which "appeared like a solid hunk of light weight aluminum taken off an Audi as well as feeling 3-cent plastic."
