Review

Two V-8 engines are offered in the 2016 Tundra: a 4.7-liter rated at 310 hp as well as 327 lb-ft of torque and a 5.7-liter with 381 hp as well as 401 lb-ft. Both engines are paired exclusively to a six-speed automatic transmission. Gas economy isn't really one of the Tundra's strong points with rear-drive variations rated at 15/19 mpg city/highway for the 4.7-liter and 13/18 mpg with the larger 5.7-liter. Choosing 4x4 drops those numbers somewhat to 14/18 mpg with the 4.7-liter as well as 13/17 mpg with the 5.7-liter. Relying on the cab style, engine and also drivetrain configuration, the 2016 Tundra could tow 6,400 to 10,500 extra pounds when effectively geared up.

What We Assume

In a 2014 First Drive review, we claimed that while the inside as well as dashboard are well style, the worldly high quality of the plastics made use of is a letdown due to the low-quality materials made use of. Flight and handling, on the other hand, are safe on- and off-road while the seats supply lots of support. We also claimed in a 2014 First Test of 1794 Edition version that the cabin is noisier than its competitors while the exterior design isn't as fresh. Additionally, the 5.7-liter V-8 isn't really as fast as several of its competitors that use more advanced powertrains. Interior room, on the other hand, is generous especially the big back seats. For those that desire optimum off-road efficiency, we said in a 2015 First Drive evaluation that the Tundra TRD Pro really feels much better the quicker it can go. In addition, it doesn't get disturbed quickly and also features superb steering feedback and a well-tuned suspension than can deal with high-speed off-roading.
