SpecificationsToyota Tundra
Appearance
Overall dimensions of Toyota Tundra. The size of the body of the Japanese "truck" is certainly impressive. The length and width of the pickup are great for both placement oversized cargo in the trunk, and for the comfortable passage of passengers in the car. The height of the SUV meets all standards for a comfortable driving experience, as well as an excellent fit with good visibility.
Unlike its predecessors, the Toyota GEN3 (third generation) has acquired a more aggressive front end. The oversized chrome grille adds a touch of "brutality" to the car. New stylish headlights with LED lamps and fog optics gave the SUV the maximum "volume" of road illumination. That is not to say for a great combination of modern style with respect to the design of the older Tundra models. It is not for nothing that this pickup received the Truck of the Year award in 2000 and 2008 from Motor Trend magazine as the most "designer SUV-truck".
Of course, at the sight of such an SUV, the question always arises: "How much does the Toyota Tundra weigh?" The total weight of a full-size pickup truck is over four and a half tons. The weight of Toyota Tundra allows you to transport bulky and heavy loads without any problems. In addition to the fact that you can take the "luggage compartment", it is possible to hook with you and a "home on wheels". All this will be within the power of our SUV, because it is equipped with a strong engine.

Inner world
The modern and stylish exterior will delight every owner. The car has 11 speakers, bass support is provided by a built-in subwoofer. The sound quality is top notch. The rearview mirror has a "gate opener" function with three modes. The front console controls the "4WD" system ( low gear, rear drive, towing mode and 4WD). The glove compartment armrest, which is located between the seats, has good roominess (when fully loaded, it functions as a refrigerator). The steering wheel is equipped with audio and telephone control functions. It is noteworthy that the seats are not only large and comfortable, but also have a high seating position.
The interior trim surpasses almost any "rival" production pickup. This quality of leather, plastic and wood inserts can be the envy of any SUV. A well-thought-out interior adds luxury and a sense of constant comfort.
The presence of options in the functionality of the car corresponds to the present. All you need for a pleasant driving experience: dual-zone climate, good audio system, navigation, rear view camera, 4 airbags, etc.
If we consider the body of the CREW Max, for 5 passengers, then we can say that rear seats large, comfortable and comfortable. There is still a lot of space between the passenger seats and the driver's (first row). A full body for five people is roomy not only for passengers. If you need to remove the rear row of seats for transporting cargo inside the cabin, this can be easily done. The very fast seat conversion frees up a lot of space in the rear of the car.
Toyota Tundra TRD Pro (Toyota Tundra TRD Pro) 2015-2016
Remarkable news was the release of the updated model Toyota Tundra TRD Pro 2016. This car received a number of changes, both external and internal. For some reason, the developers decided not to make changes in the engine size, and left the 5.7 liter V8. Of course, the engine has gone through the changes in Fuel Economy and is not much more economical. Consumption on the highway is 13 liters per 100 km, in the urban cycle 17 liters per hundred. The pickup's transmission remains unchanged: 6-speed automatic transmission gear.
New body of Toyota Tundra TRD Pro
Designers this time tried to make the full-size pickup even more aggressive. The shape of the front of the car matched very well. It can be seen that the Japanese are trying to "adjust" appearance for the American market to create competition in the "industry" of pickups. A great innovation was original color(orange "Inferno") truck. Also installed new R18 wheels with original Michelin rubber ORP P255 / 40. But in the Russian market there are many fans of this model, who also really like new exterior Toyota.
The International Chicago Auto Show, which took place in February 2006, became the site of the official premiere of the next, second generation, large Toyota Tundra pickup. Compared to its predecessor, the car has changed beyond recognition - it has become more beautiful outwardly, better inside and more modern in technical terms.
After entering the market, the Japanese-American "truck" was regularly improved, but the most noticeable portion of updates was separated from it in 2013 - the restyled version was presented to the public in February at the Chicago Auto Show. Moreover, they worked well on the pickup - they refreshed the exterior, made the interior more modern, modified the engines and expanded the list of available equipment.
The second generation Toyota Tundra demonstrates aggressive, rebellious and very modern design supported by impressive overall dimensions... The "front" part looks the most advantageous, exposing a huge trapezoidal radiator grille shield, a massive hood, a powerful bumper and fairly compact headlights with LED "garlands" of running lights.
But from other angles, the pickup is perceived as a typical American - massive and rough shapes with embossed sides, large strokes of rounded-square wheel arches, vertical lights and a strong rear bumper.
The "second" Toyota Tundra is available in three versions - Regular Cab with a two-door cab, Double Cab with a four-door cab and Crew Max with an enlarged cab. The first two solutions can also have both standard and extended cargo platforms.
The overall length of the vehicle is 5239-6289 mm, the height is 1920-1941 mm, the distance between the axles is 3220-4180 mm. Width and ground clearance identical for all versions - 2029 mm and 260 mm, respectively.
Inside, "Tundra" looks not like a utilitarian pickup truck, but like a presentable SUV - a weighty multifunctional steering wheel with a four-spoke design, a laconic and informative instrument panel and a massive front panel, crowned in the central part with an 8-inch multimedia screen and a large air conditioning unit. That's just in basic trim levels the interior becomes more archaic. The decoration of the "truck" is made of high-quality materials - solid plastics, a large amount of genuine leather, wood and metal-like inserts.
The front riders are guided by wide and soft seats, practically devoid of lateral support, which even by their appearance set them up for a measured ride. It's a sin to complain to the rear passengers (in the four-door versions) - they are separated not only by a comfortable sofa, but also by a huge amount of space on all fronts.
One of Toyota merits Tundra of the second generation is a capacious side platform, the length of which varies from 1680 to 2470 mm, and the width and depth, respectively, are 1690 mm and 500 mm. The car is capable of taking on board from 725 to 950 kg of cargo, depending on the modification.

The passport fuel consumption of this option is 13.4-13.8 liters per “hundred” in combined driving conditions. - Intermediate Toyota versions Tundra sports a 4.6-liter V8 engine with distributed power, producing 310 mares at 6400 rpm and 460 Nm of torque at 3400 rpm.
Rear or four-wheel drive is reserved for it, and a 6-band is responsible for the delivery of traction to the wheels. automatic transmission... This pickup on average "eats" 14.7 liters of fuel in mixed mode. - The most "formidable" option - V-shaped "eight" for 5.7 liters with multipoint gasoline supply, whose maximum potential is 381 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 401 Nm at 3600 rpm.
It is combined with an "automatic" for six gears, as well as reverse or four-wheel drive, resulting in 15.7 liters of fuel for every 100 kilometers in the combined cycle.
The all-wheel drive transmission on the second generation "Tundra" is organized according to the classic "Part-time" scheme, where the front wheels are connected after turning the washer on the center panel. The car is equipped with a lower gear, and in rear axle it has a limited slip differential with an electronically controlled Active Trac function.
At the heart of the Toyota Tundra is a powerful spar frame, on which the power unit is placed longitudinally, as well as the cab and body.
The car's suspensions are traditional for the class: independent architecture with double wishbones, stabilizers lateral stability and springs in the front and a dependent scheme with small leaf springs with a sprung at the rear.

In 2000, a new full-size Toyota Tundra pickup replaced the outdated T100. They were similar in size, but the newcomer received the most powerful engine V8, as well as a more familiar appearance to Americans. Actually, the car was aimed at their market. Initially, the pickup was equipped with a V6 engine, both on the old model and on the popular Toyota car Tacoma. Later, another monster Toyota Sequoia SUV was built on the basis of the Tundra.
The first generation lasted from 2000 to 2006 and was more like the Toyota Tacoma. The car was produced in 2-door and 4-door versions. The powerful V8 was installed as additional option... However, significant demand for it forced the company to change its decision and make this particular engine the main one.
Absolutely all owners are completely satisfied with the car and praise it off-road qualities as well as phenomenal reliability.
The second generation was produced from 2007 to 2013, but the cars can still be found on sale. The car has significantly changed, became larger and received a modern and recognizable appearance, which is almost impossible to confuse. It was equipped with several variants of the V8 engine, and a weaker V6 came as an option. The car was produced in several body styles, in which preference was given either to the size of the cargo section or to the cabin.
The car received the best rating among pickups for side and head-on collision... It was also awarded a prestigious award. Naturally, unsurpassed reliability and power have not disappeared from the owner's reviews.
The third generation was introduced in 2013 and soon went into series.
However, officially none of the modifications is serially supplied to Russia. You can buy a car through unofficial dealers at a fairly high price.
However, based on the feedback from the owners, the Toyota Tundra is worth the money.
Main characteristics
The car is not officially supplied, but you can make a rough description of the various advertisements on the market.Appearance and salon
Externally, the car turned out quite in the American style - it is really huge. The axles are close to the edges of the chassis, and the bumpers are rounded and not protruding, which contributes to good vanishing angles. There are side sills for easier boarding, as the ground clearance is about 260 mm. The radiator grille is quite massive and takes up almost the entire front end. It is often decorated with chrome. There are several body options to choose from: 2-door and 4-door, and a pickup with an extended base is also available.
In the cabin, high-quality leather trim prevails everywhere. The plastic is also at a fairly high level. The equipment of the car is rich, and sitting behind the wheel it is difficult to say that this is a workhorse. There is also a multimedia center, heated seats, 2-zone climate control, on-board computer, electric and heated mirrors and the like.
Specifications
You can choose between V8 engines with different displacement, which produce 381 and 310 hp. Also, a 236 hp V6 is available as an option, but it is not in great demand, and it is extremely difficult to find it in Russia. TO power units you can choose a manual or automatic transmission. The pickup is equipped with permanent all-wheel drive, like a real SUV.
The car in the database includes modern anti-lock braking systems and stabilization systems. 4 airbags are also available. The only thing that is really missing is the rear-view cameras, but installing parking sensors in expensive trim levels will help improve the situation.
Options and prices

Sales of the updated 2018-2019 Toyota Tundra pickup started on the US market model year... The novelty was presented to the public in February of this year at the Chicago Auto Show, and in September the serial version of the car became available for order. Cardinal changes Neither in appearance, nor in the technology of the third generation of the SUV, as expected, did not happen, and all the transformations are local in nature.

And GMC Sierra (221,680 pcs.)

All companiesThe story begins in 2000, when Toyota announced the start of sales of the Tundra pickup. The car was a typical American pickup truck - impressive, with a large engine, large trunk and four-wheel drive.
The goal of the company's management was to take some of the buyers from such models as the Ford F150 or Chevrolet Silverado. I must say that the goal set by the leadership was achieved. The pickup truck became popular and commercially successful. He held out on the assembly line for almost 8 years, having survived the restyling and gave way to the second generation, the sales of which began in 2007. And now we can see the third generation of cars - Toyota Tundra 2019 2020 (pictured).

More brutality
Modern Toyota Tundra received new body, even more impressive and brutal. The huge rectangular headlights of the Toyota Tundra got a special neat step, the huge grille is now divided by powerful horizontal chrome bars, and the imposing front bumper sports almost impenetrable protection.
The impressiveness of this pickup is in the blood - this is emphasized even by the gigantic silhouette and huge wheel disks... And the dimensions of this car are impressive - it is about 6 meters long. And this is not the limit - you can carry out a kind of tuning of the Toyota Tundra by choosing an even longer cab (you can choose from Regular Cab, Double Cab or Crew Cab options).
Whatever one may say, but the size for this car definitely matters. And from the back, the model looks like a typical american car- chopped forms, deliberate rudeness, spectacular stamping. A true classic of the genre.
Also look at and.
Premium with disclaimer
But it is no longer necessary to talk about the classics when you get into the Toyota Tundra salon (pictured). This interior is completely different from the interior of a utilitarian pickup - rather, it would be more suitable for a business class sedan: fashion accessories, graceful aluminum inserts, nice air vents.
Talking about the comfort on the Toyota tundra seats is meaningless - a huge amount of free space, luxurious soft chairs that allow a person of any size to fit there. The only downside is the weak lateral support, which could be more serious. The visibility is good: due to the high seating position, it is easy to control the dimensions of the pickup and the situation on the road.
But the main reason encouraging to buy a Toyota Tundra 2019 2020 is the excellent practicality and good equipment of the model. The car owner gets a lot of useful options in the load. It has climate control, cruise control, towbar and even a touchscreen multimedia system located on the center console. A note of disappointment in the overall positive impression of the interior of the Toyota Tundra can only be added by the hard echoing plastic, which is unusual to see in a premium car.

Classic design with a touch of innovation
Tradition prevails even in the selection of engines and gearboxes. American pickup must not run on diesel or be equipped with mechanics - only gasoline, only automatic. However, these motors are not at all archaic. Wide application modern technologies allowed to achieve very good indicators.
So, even the junior Toyota Tundra engine has very good technical characteristics. Its output is equal to 270 hp. and 376 N / m of torque with a volume of 4 liters. But there is also a 4.6-liter 310 hp engine. with a thrust of 460 N / m. Well, for the top version, a 5.7-liter unit is provided, producing 381 hp. at 401 N / m of torque. The youngest of the motors is paired with 5 speed automatic transmission, and for the older ones, a 6-band automatic transmission is required.
And if you really need exclusive car, then there is a modification of the toyota tundra devolro, which is a real, uncompromising off-road fighter. The most voluminous 5.7-liter engine was boosted to 520 hp, the car was equipped with special systems that increase the cross-country ability: increased ground clearance, installed winches, power thresholds, increased fuel tank... They also bewitched the chassis by installing reinforced stabilizers and other interwheel blocking.
There are no barriers
Driving a 2019 2020 Toyota Tundra pickup on public roads is a very specific action (see test drive video). Yes, the car handles well, but the weight of the car and its huge dimensions make you always be on the lookout. In addition, the total 6-meter length does not contribute to a fast driving around the city.
One feels that the car is cramped here. And driving around the city is discouraged by the model's irrepressible appetite in such conditions. Fast turns are also not for him. Blurry steering, rolling undercarriage - all this leads to the fact that the car simply slides off the trajectory. No, his element is off-road. It is here that the full potential of the Toyota Tundra engine is realized - its 260 mm ground clearance, a huge supply of traction, and an energy-intensive suspension. It doesn't matter whether you follow the tractor track, climb steep cliffs or wade along the river - this car can handle it all.
