Toyota informs us they traced down all the afflicted parts to a particular batch and also have considering that made the improvements to the style. No failures have actually appeared because. Much more recently, there have actually been some reports of transmission shudder under certain low-speed problems, which dealers have traced to a torque converter issue. Toyota states these events were separated and also have actually also been resolved. As well as lastly, there's been chatter on the web worrying tailgate issues, which Toyota remains in the procedure of tracking down.

The Tundra proved itself a celebrity player in ordinary dress (Dual Taxi Tundra Grade, 4.7 L V-8; $27K), along with in completely spruced up (CrewMax Limited, 5.7 L V-8; $47K). When dressed down, the front bench seating enables a column shifter and work-truck dash with a twin glovebox as well as concealed facility storage space compartment under the center seat. Our totally loaded version had flexible leather captain's chairs as well as a massive center console storage space container, big sufficient to hold a few laptops and also function as a declaring closet. The CrewMax version, with its prolonged traveler cabin, provides a gliding back seat with drop-forward and also slide-forward ability.
One of the more vital interior conveniences, cabin quiet (while driving on rough roadways or at freeway speeds) is most likely the Tundra's most impressive high quality. If there's a quieter truck out there, we haven't driven it. Just 2 beefs with the inside: the center pile's excessive dimension as well as visual split (appears like it's cut in two) as well as the location of the navigation system virtually out of arm's grab the motorist.
Is it the excellent vehicle? That all relies on exactly what you need, yet by providing 44 various taste selections, Toyota anticipates to have what you're searching for, stuffing heavy-duty truck capabilities into a half-ton vehicle that's quiet and strong.
