2008 Toyota Tundra Regular Cab
Supremacy? Toyota is pulling no strikes by presenting one of the most significant, toughest, and also most qualified vehicles in the segment, in addition to investing billions in a new advanced manufacturing plant in the heart of truck country-San Antonio, Texas. Relevance? With Toyota wanting to greater than double its existence in the hotly objected to half-ton industry, the Tundra represents among one of the most extremely anticipated new lorry launches in many years-- car or truck. Worth? The brand-new Tundra uses three different powertrains (one V-6 and also 2 V-8s), with the 5.7-liter V-8 a modern wonder as well as torque beast-- as well as is among the most effective engines in any type of half-ton setup. Toyota's system has the entire section covered with three different bed dimensions, 3 separate wheelbases covering five different taxi and bed arrangements, incorporated with 3 various trim packages (Tundra Grade, SR5, as well as Limited) in 4 × 4 as well as 4 × 2 drivetrains-- 44 various vehicle tastes to interested purchasers, from work vehicle to luxury touring.
Providing that type of range right from eviction goes over as well as enthusiastic; as a matter of fact, some may claim as well enthusiastic. The current launch of the brand-new Tundra has actually not been without a couple of missteps. A number of months earlier, a very early output of camshafts in the 5.7-liter V-8 were stopping working. Toyota informs us they mapped down all the damaged components to a certain batch and have actually considering that made the corrections to the style. No failures have emerged considering that. A lot more just recently, there have actually been some records of transmission shudder under certain low-speed conditions, which suppliers have actually traced to a torque converter issue. Toyota states these cases were separated as well as have additionally been solved. And finally, there's been chatter on the Internet worrying tailgate issues, which Toyota remains in the process of tracking down. Our hunch is most of these tales spread like wildfire, provided the lightning-rod effect this brand-new vehicle is having with enthusiasts and also the rate with which a Web item can travel. With all that claimed, let's take a deeper look at what's special regarding our 2008 victor.
As mentioned in the intro to this special section, we ran our competitors through a series of on- and also off-road training courses at a functioning Arizona proving-ground facility, subjecting all our test units to an extensive set of standards. It remained in our work-duty screening that the Tundra first began to capture our interest, with the 5.7-liter V-8 Limited CrewMax Tundra running miles ahead of the competition, with as well as without a packed trailer in tow (note our efficiency analysis in the tale and the Tundra's winning Efficiency Rating). The Tundra confirmed itself a star player in simple dress (Dual Taxicab Tundra Grade, 4.7 L V-8; $27K), along with in completely decked out (CrewMax Limited, 5.7 L V-8; $47K). When dressed down, the front bench seats permits a column shifter and also work-truck rush with a dual glovebox and hidden facility storage compartment under the facility seat. Our completely packed model had flexible natural leather captain's chairs as well as a big center console storage container, large enough to hold a few laptop computers and also serve as a filing cabinet. The CrewMax design, with its prolonged traveler cabin, supplies a moving back seat with drop-forward and also slide-forward capability.
One of the more crucial indoor conveniences, cabin quiet (while driving on rough roadways or at freeway speeds) is most likely the Tundra's most excellent quality. If there's a quieter truck out there, we haven't driven it. Just 2 beefs with the inside: the facility pile's too much dimension and also visual split (resembles it's cut in two) and also the place of the navigating system almost from arm's reach for the vehicle driver.
Is it the excellent vehicle? That all depends on what you require, yet by providing 44 different flavor options, Toyota anticipates to have just what you're searching for, packing heavy-duty vehicle abilities right into a half-ton vehicle that's quiet and also strong. After some discussion, the majority of our judges concur: One of the most deserving competitor for Motor Pattern's 2008 Vehicle of the Year title is the brand new Toyota Tundra.
