2012 toyota Tundra Double Cab

2012 Toyota Tundra Double Cab: Toyota went for the jugular in the 2007 design year when it presented the second-generation Tundra full-size pickup with an effective 5.7-liter V-8 engine and six-speed automatic transmission. Today, the Tundra faces much stiffer competition from Chevrolet, Ram, GMC as well as Ford half-ton pickups, every one of which have been upgraded or modified since 2007. Specific arrangements of the Tundra could seat up to six people.

The Tundra is available in 2- or four-wheel drive as well as in three taxicab styles: routine taxi, Dual Taxi as well as CrewMax. The CrewMax is the largest cab in the half-ton segment since Chrysler discontinued the Huge Taxicab alternative for the Ram 1500. The CrewMax comes just with a 5-foot, 6-inch bed, while other versions can be bought with either a 6.5-foot or an 8-foot cargo bed.
