2007 Toyota Tundra Double Cab
Exterior & Styling
The Tundra can be found in three cab styles: routine, prolonged as well as staff, called Regular Taxi, Dual Taxicab and CrewMax, respectively. The Routine as well as Dual Taxicab variations feature brief or lengthy cargo beds determining 6.5 feet as well as 8.1 feet in size.
There are three trim levels: The Regular Cab DX is a stripped-down work truck with a black grille and grille structure, and black bumpers, side mirrors and door and also tailgate takes care of. It can be upgraded to an SR5 through an option package that includes-- among functional features-- a chrome front bumper with a body-colored cap.
The Tundra resembles the Tacoma midsize pick-up yet with a taller, domed hood. Its most unique aspect is a black strip that covers the crest of the grille structure. I'm uncertain I like it, but there it is. It stands out extra on the body-colored grille border that comes on the Sporting activity Look Bundle, an option supplied for Routine and Dual Cabs.
In the Double as well as CrewMax designs, the SR5 trim level includes the chrome grille framework, and also the chrome as well as body-colored therapy for the rear along with the front bumper. The Restricted trim level adds chrome to the grille's 3 crossbars, the door deals with as well as the side mirrors, with the exception of the optional extendable mirrors offered for pulling objectives. The Limited's front bumper is totally body-colored, as well as it's the only trim level with common fog lights.
The conventional wheels are 18 inches, in steel for the SR5 and alloy for the Limited. Twenty-inch alloys are optional.
Going & Stopping
Together with a V-6 that's standard on the Regular Taxi and also Dual Taxicab, the Tundra supplies 2 V-8 engines. The CrewMax doesn't featured the V-6.
The 5.7-liter V-8 had not yet begun automation in Huntsville, Ala., when I got my preview of the Tundra in December 2006. Prior to I got it, I envisioned three setting up employees behind each vehicle, pressing; a designer in the bed with a bullhorn making vrooom vroom, roar roar noises; and also an advertising and marketing director riding shotgun and also asserting that the rearview mirrors hadn't come in yet however would certainly be included soon.
Actually (always much less interesting) there became a lot of the bigger blocks, which along with the pickup truck market's first six-speed transmission, are the brand-new Tundra's primary specialty. The drivetrain goes over certainly, moving the Tundra as much as highway speeds much faster compared to a 4x4 crew taxi has a right to go, finish with a passionate roar from under the hood. On the other hand, when you accelerate gradually, having 6 equipments maintains the engine rate low, and the noise along with it. The generous torque comes in a broad band, with at the very least 90 percent of the height torque on tap from 2,400 to 5,500 rpm, according to Toyota's dimensions.
The trans also provides far better gas mileage than the 4.7-liter as well as its five-speed automatic in 4x2 Tundras, and just about a half an mpg less than the 4.7-liter in 4x4 variations. It's the less-powerful engine that probably would profit a lot more from the extra equipment, but the 4.7-liter is at the very least partnered with a five-speed automatic. I discovered this pairing to be more than appropriate in a Tundra Double Taxicab 4x2, and also I'm positive it would suffice with 4WD too. Chevy and also Ford trucks have four-speeds. The Dodge Ram has 5, and Ford has actually guaranteed a six-speed for the next-generation F-Series.
All Tundras are fitted with four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, brake assist as well as electronic brake-force circulation. In regular driving, the brakes did their task, but the numb pedal feel left lots to be desired. The Silverado has an actual edge here.
Four-Wheel Drive
The optional 4WD, readily available just with the V-8, is an easy part-time, shift-on-the-fly system with some included tricks that make it much more sophisticated. At the twist of a dial, the dual-range transfer case engages the front axle, which is separated by default for gas cost savings. The torque is split 50/50 (front/rear), however the typical four-wheel traction control can additionally transfer power from one side to the other on either axle-- in both 4WD high and also 4WD reduced modes.
RWD models-- as well as 4x4s in 2WD mode-- likewise have traction control. It can be switched off or readied to an intermediate position Toyota calls Car LSD, which is simply an ABS-based limited-slip differential. It varies from the default traction control because it enables some wheelspin. When it, also, is switched off, the typical digital stability system likewise is defeated.
Trip & Handling
The new Tundra Dual Taxicab as well as CrewMax ride well with a vacant bed-- the worst-case scenario. There's some shudder in the structure when surrendering bumps, yet this is common among body-on-frame pickups, as well as it's not excessive right here. It's possible that the long-bed variation's longer wheelbase would certainly present more spin or resonance, yet I drove just the CrewMax and also the Double Taxicab brief bed. When the first-generation Tundra came out, it was praised for its ride comfort. Because that time, the competition has actually made inroads as well as Toyota has actually rebuilt the truck for larger service. For whatever factor, there's no longer a clear difference. The new Chevy Silverado, particularly, has risen to the challenge.
Available on the short-bed SR5 and Limited is a TRD (Toyota Racing Development) Off-Road Bundle that has different adjusting courtesy of stiffer front coil springtimes as well as back fallen leave springtimes as well as firmer Bilstein brand name shock absorbers as well as bushings. It also consists of distinct 18-inch alloy wheels, offroad tires and also front tow hooks. I drove this setup off-road, where it did well, but I really did not experience it on pavement. Someone is particular to: The TRD plan is readily available on rear-drive vehicles.
Pickup truck guiding isn't anything to get delighted about, but the 44-foot turning size is an achievement on the CrewMax, standard-bed Double Taxicab and also long-bed Regular Cab. Compare this to the Ford F-150's 45 feet and the Silverado's 47 feet. This isn't really nearly U-turns; it determines just how sharply you can reduce a swing when you're parking or maneuvering a trailer hitch. With a lengthy bed, the Double Taxi's circle expands to 49 feet, shedding its advantage. The long-bed F-150 does it in 48 feet. (For those keeping score, the standard-bed Tundra Regular Taxi transforms a 39.2-foot circle.).
The Seats
Another of the Tundra's firsts is a crew-cab backseat whose 60/40-split sectors slide forward and back and also recline. Doing so needs the largest backseat in a pick-up, which the Tundra provides. With the reclining as well as the legroom, a limousine would certainly be a reasonable comparison. Several of the space right here comes from a bed that's a little bit much shorter-- 5.5 feet long versus the Silverado Crew Taxicab's 5.75 feet, yet that doesn't discuss the F-150, which has a 5.5-foot box and a smaller backseat.
The Double Taxicab's backseat isn't really half negative either, with workable legroom and also doors that open ahead instead of rearward. They turn virtually to a best angle with the side, so entrance and leave is as straightforward as one can expect. The facility flooring bulge, as in the CrewMax, is only a few inches high.
The typical pole position is a 40/20/40-split cloth bench that suits three passengers. To fit much shorter vehicle drivers, it's finest to outfit the Tundra with a seat-height modification and also a tilt/telescoping wheel. Neither can be found in the base Routine Taxi (the standard wheel only turns). In the bigger taxicabs, the SR5 trim level brings costs fabric as well as hand-operated motorist's height change to the split bench. You'll need the container seats-- common on the Minimal and optional on the SR5-- to get power modifications as well as a steering wheel that both tilts and also telescopes. The Limited also includes natural leather upholstery and also heated seats.
The Tundra's high hood and freight box wall surfaces make for poor presence immediately around the truck. For simplicity of car park, though, front and back sonar sharp systems are supplied (rear-only is extra typical), and also the optional navigation system consists of a rearview electronic camera that shows the area behind the truck on the control panel display screen-- a need to for affixing a trailer drawback alone. At some time this year Toyota will supply a dealer-installed rearview electronic camera with a 3.5-inch display as a option different from the pricey nav function. Prices isn't established for this unusual as well as welcome function, however it's approximated to be about $600-- method far better compared to the navigation/rearview cam alternative's $2,810 market price.
Interior Decoration, Quality
The "driver-oriented cockpit" exceeds the normal angled center control panel: Raised and also tinted silver, the left-hand side of the console prolongs from in between the container seats, up the center control board and leftward to form the whole driver's side of the control panel. I find the concept appealing, but the faux-metal surface isn't the most effective I have actually seen (some are in fact decent nowadays). In my point of view the control panel exhibits the most effective (glossy piano-black lacquer) and the most awful (plastic mimicing steel) of contemporary wood-trim-alternative products. This silvery stuff is part of just what has delayed Toyota's well-regarded interior top quality, which is still great but isn't really pulling away from the much-improved competitors.
Like the inner and external door manages, the knobs and also dials are large, in keeping with the gloved-workman picture. Taking an action past, the truck likewise recognizes just how the requirements as well as devices of craftsmen have transformed-- that the idea of knuckle-dragging sheetrockers and also tin-knockers is a thing of the past: Models with bucket seats have a center storage console large enough for a laptop computer as well as fitted with rails to support hanging data folders.
Various other storage space provisions abound. There's a dual handwear cover compartment therefore numerous containers, nooks and also cubbies that it resembles a coat with a lot of pockets; you may neglect where you place points. I did. In my search, I was regrettably not able to locate the button that magically teleports the Tundra to that alternative universe where service providers most likely to hide when they're intended to be finishing your cooking area.
Safety and security
The Tundra has actually not yet been crash-tested, but it is well-appointed with conventional safety attributes. Not already stated are side-impact airbags for the pole positions and also side drapes to shield the front as well as back seats. The curtains are made to release in the event of a rollover to secure residents and prevent their ejection. There's a cutoff switch so the bags will not deploy when off-roading.
Freight & Towing
I didn't drive or check out a Routine Taxi, however measurements as well as images reveal a generous storage area behind the seats with integrated storage boxes. The Double Cab's 60/40-split rear seat cushions flip up to expose a fairly minimalist floor. I favor the resulting tall vertical space to the CrewMax's fold-down backrests, which supply a good plastic-covered work surface area however not as much floor-to-ceiling height.
Nowhere is the new design's greater dimension extra significant compared to in the freight bed, which has actually grown a few inches in most dimensions. It currently determines 66.4 inches in between the walls and 50.0 inches in between the wheel wells. The sides are 22.3 inches high. A reduced tailgate extends the CrewMax bed to about 7.5 feet, so even the fastest bed leaves just 1/2 foot of common structure products hanging.
The securing tailgate has an assist strut that makes it feasible to raise with a couple of fingers. A perk is that it damps the movement, so the gate likewise lowers gradually under its own weight as opposed to banging down onto the support cords. Toyota claims the strut likewise protects against bouncing when driving with eviction down. Where Nissan provides a manufacturing facility spray-in bedliner, Toyota has stuck to the plastic lay-in kind, believing that proprietors desire the option of removing it down the line and providing a possible new proprietor with an unmarred bed.
Due to the various taxicab and bed sizes as well as engine and also driveline options, I can spend the remainder of the model year learning payload and hauling specs for you, so I'll simply claim the model line's haul rankings vary from 1,420 pounds to 2,060 extra pounds. (Common of half-ton vehicles, it could carry a whole lot.) The pulling maxima run from a healthy and balanced 10,100 pounds in a 4x4 CrewMax to 10,800 pounds in a 4x2 Normal Cab when each is furnished with the 5.7-liter V-8 as well as optional Towing Plan, that includes the hitch receiver, electrical wiring, boosted back springtime rates, a transmission-fluid cooler as well as a tow/haul change setting (on the six-speed just). All the specifics can be discovered by clicking the Criterion Equip. & Specs and also the Available Options switches over on the left.
Tundra on the market
Full-size pick-ups are the market section international brands have actually cannot fracture-- arguably the last continuing to be one. These are the highest-volume and highest-profit vehicles that the American business sell, which is most likely why Toyota officers have called the brand-new Tundra one of the most essential version introduction in the company's history. For point of view, Ford and also GM market close to a million full-size pick-ups a year. Toyota could have offered as numerous Tundras because they initially went on sale for the 2000 version year. Having actually sold greater than 124,500 Tundras in 2006, Toyota is conservatively projecting sales of 200,000 for the new generation in 2007, thinking about a late launch. Toyota has just about assured a "bigger" Tundra, recommending a three-quarter or one-ton variation and also perhaps a diesel alternative.
The brand-new Tundra has some excellent specs and also some attributes that I 'd identify as innovations more than technologies. I can argue that Nissan and also Honda revealed even more technology out of eviction than the domestics have, but that hasn't given them equivalent sales or street cred. In this most devoted of lorry market segments, integrity and durability might be more vital. As the automotive industry continues to globalize, and also as Toyota constructs more and more of its models in North America using an increasing number of domestic components as well as producing a growing number of American jobs, the suggestion of purchasing a Japanese pick-up ends up being a growing number of appropriate amongst purchasers. With the noteworthy exception of the United Car Employees as well as union advocates, the method of buying American simply to get American has slowly worn down, as well as many Americans have actually possessed or experienced Toyota autos and also SUVs.
Toyota doesn't frequently get it right the very first time, or necessarily the 2nd, yet it has a history of making generational modifications that eventually put its products at or near the top of their vehicle class in sales and/or allure. It occurred with the Camry, the Corolla as well as the Sienna minivan. It hasn't already took place yet with the Yaris subcompact. It could be taking place right now with the 2007 Tundra.
