2007 Toyota Tundra For Sale
Exterior & Designing
The Tundra comes in 3 cab styles: routine, prolonged as well as staff, named Regular Taxi, Dual Taxicab and also CrewMax, specifically. The Regular and also Double Taxicab variations feature brief or long freight beds gauging 6.5 feet and 8.1 feet in length.
There are three trim levels: The Routine Taxi DX is a stripped-down job truck with a black grille as well as grille framework, as well as black bumpers, side mirrors as well as door and also tailgate manages. It can be upgraded to an SR5 using an option plan that includes-- amongst useful functions-- a chrome front bumper with a body-colored cap.
The Tundra resembles the Tacoma midsize pickup but 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, yet there it is. It sticks out more on the body-colored grille surround that comes on the Sport Look Plan, a choice used for Regular and Dual Taxicabs.
In the Double and also CrewMax designs, the SR5 trim level adds the chrome grille structure, and also the chrome as well as body-colored treatment for the rear as well as the front bumper. The Minimal trim degree includes chrome to the grille's 3 crossbars, the door takes care of and the side mirrors, with the exception of the optional extendable mirrors supplied for towing objectives. The Limited's front bumper is completely body-colored, as well as it's the only trim level with common haze lights.
The typical wheels are 18 inches, in steel for the SR5 as well as alloy for the Limited. Twenty-inch alloys are optional.
Going & Stopping
Together with a V-6 that's conventional on the Regular Cab as well as Double Taxicab, the Tundra uses 2 V-8 engines. The CrewMax does not had the V-6.
The 5.7-liter V-8 had actually not yet started mass production in Huntsville, Ala., when I got my sneak preview of the Tundra in December 2006. Prior to I got it, I envisioned three setting up employees behind each truck, pressing; a designer in the bed with a bullhorn making vrooom vroom, grumble roll sounds; and also an advertising exec riding shotgun and also asserting that the rearview mirrors had not come in yet however would certainly be added soon.
In truth (constantly much less interesting) there became lots of the larger blocks, which together with the pickup market's very first six-speed transmission, are the new Tundra's primary specialty. The drivetrain is impressive indeed, moving the Tundra approximately highway rates much faster than a 4x4 staff taxi has a right to go, finish with a passionate roar from under the hood. Conversely, when you accelerate gradually, having six gears maintains the engine speed low, as well as the noise in addition to it. The charitable torque comes in a broad band, with at the very least 90 percent of the peak torque on tap from 2,400 to 5,500 rpm, according to Toyota's dimensions.
The trans additionally delivers much better gas mileage than the 4.7-liter and its five-speed automatic in 4x2 Expanses, as well as just regarding a fifty percent an mpg less than the 4.7-liter in 4x4 versions. It's the less-powerful engine that most likely would benefit more from the additional gear, however the 4.7-liter is at the very least partnered with a five-speed automated. I found this pairing to be greater than ample in an Expanse Double Taxi 4x2, and also I'm certain it would certainly suffice with 4WD also. Chevy and also Ford trucks have four-speeds. The Dodge Ram has five, and also Ford has promised a six-speed for the next-generation F-Series.
All Tundras are fitted with four-wheel disc brakes with ABDOMINAL, brake aid and digital brake-force circulation. In normal driving, the brakes did their job, but the numb pedal feel left lots to be wanted. The Silverado has an actual side below.
Four-Wheel Drive
The optional 4WD, available just with the V-8, is a basic part-time, shift-on-the-fly system with some added methods that make it extra innovative. At the twist of a dial, the dual-range transfer situation involves the front axle, which is separated by default for gas savings. The torque is split 50/50 (front/rear), however the conventional four-wheel traction control could additionally transfer power from one side to the other on either axle-- in both 4WD high as well as 4WD reduced settings.
RWD models-- and 4x4s in 2WD mode-- also have grip control. It can be shut off or readied to an intermediate placement Toyota calls Auto LSD, which is merely an ABS-based limited-slip differential. It varies from the default grip control in that it permits some wheelspin. When it, as well, is switched off, the basic digital stability system likewise is beat.
Ride & Handling
The new Tundra Double Taxicab and also CrewMax ride well with a vacant bed-- the worst-case scenario. There's some shudder in the structure when surrendering bumps, however this is common amongst body-on-frame pick-ups, and also it's not excessive below. It's feasible that the long-bed version's longer wheelbase would certainly present more twist or vibration, but I drove just the CrewMax and the Double Taxi short bed. When the first-generation Tundra came out, it was applauded for its ride comfort. Because that time, the competitors has actually made invasions as well as Toyota has actually reconstructed the vehicle for larger service. For whatever factor, there's no longer a clear difference. The new Chevy Silverado, particularly, has actually risen to the obstacle.
Offered on the short-bed SR5 and Restricted is a TRD (Toyota Competing Development) Off-Road Package that has different tuning thanks to stiffer front coil springs as well as back leaf springs and firmer Bilstein brand name shock absorbers as well as bushings. It also consists of distinct 18-inch alloy wheels, offroad tires and front tow hooks. I drove this setup off-road, where it did well, however I didn't experience it on sidewalk. Somebody is certain to: The TRD package is offered on rear-drive trucks.
Pickup truck steering isn't really anything to obtain thrilled around, however the 44-foot transforming size is an achievement on the CrewMax, standard-bed Double Taxi and also long-bed Routine Taxi. Compare this to the Ford F-150's 45 feet and the Silverado's 47 feet. This isn't practically U-turns; it dictates just how dramatically you can cut a swing when you're vehicle parking or maneuvering a trailer hitch. With a long bed, the Dual Taxicab's circle grows to 49 feet, losing its advantage. The long-bed F-150 does it in 48 feet. (For those keeping score, the standard-bed Tundra Regular Taxicab transforms a 39.2-foot circle.).
The Seats
Another of the Tundra's firsts is a crew-cab rear seat whose 60/40-split sectors slide forward and back as well as recline. Doing so calls for the biggest backseat in a pick-up, which the Tundra supplies. With the reclining and the legroom, a limo would certainly be a reasonable contrast. Some of the space right here originates from a bed that's a bit shorter-- 5.5 feet long versus the Silverado Crew Taxi's 5.75 feet, however that doesn't discuss the F-150, which has a 5.5-foot box as well as a smaller backseat.
The Dual Taxicab's backseat isn't really half poor either, with practical legroom and doors that open up ahead as opposed to rearward. They turn virtually to an ideal angle with the side, so entry as well as departure is as basic as one can expect. The facility floor hump, as in the CrewMax, is just a couple of inches high.
The standard front seat is a 40/20/40-split towel bench that fits three occupants. To fit shorter motorists, it's ideal to outfit the Tundra with a seat-height modification as well as a tilt/telescoping steering wheel. Neither is available in the base Routine Taxi (the requirement wheel only turns). In the bigger cabs, the SR5 trim level brings premium fabric as well as manual chauffeur's elevation adjustment to the split bench. You'll require the pail seats-- standard on the Limited as well as optional on the SR5-- to obtain power adjustments as well as a steering wheel that both tilts as well as telescopes. The Limited additionally adds leather furniture and also heated seats.
The Tundra's high hood and freight box wall surfaces produce inadequate exposure right away around the truck. For convenience of parking, though, front and also rear finder sharp systems are provided (rear-only is more typical), and also the optional navigating system consists of a rearview camera that reveals the area behind the truck on the control panel display screen-- a have to for connecting a trailer drawback unassisted. At some time this year Toyota will certainly provide a dealer-installed rearview cam with a 3.5-inch screen as a alternative different from the pricey nav feature. Rates isn't really established for this unusual and welcome function, yet it's approximated to be roughly $600-- method much better compared to the navigation/rearview video camera option's $2,810 list price.
Interior Decoration, Top Quality
The "driver-oriented cockpit" goes beyond the usual tilted center control panel: Raised and colored silver, the left-hand side of the console expands from between the container seats, up the facility control board and leftward to form the entire driver's side of the control panel. I discover the concept appealing, however the faux-metal surface isn't really the most effective I've seen (some are in fact suitable nowadays). In my point of view the dashboard exhibits the very best (glossy piano-black lacquer) and the most awful (plastic mimicing metal) of modern-day wood-trim-alternative materials. This silvery things is part of just what has actually delayed Toyota's well-regarded interior high quality, which is still good but isn't really pulling away from the much-improved competitors.
Like the internal as well as external door takes care of, the handles as well as dials are large, in maintaining with the gloved-workman picture. Taking a step beyond, the truck additionally recognizes just how the demands and also devices of artisans have changed-- that the notion of knuckle-dragging sheetrockers and also tin-knockers is a distant memory: Versions with container seats have a center storage console large sufficient for a notebook computer and fitted with rails to sustain hanging file folders.
Other storage space provisions abound. There's a dual handwear cover compartment and so numerous containers, spaces as well as cubbies that it resembles a coat with a lot of pockets; you might forget where you place points. I did. In my search, I was unfortunately unable to find the button that magically teleports the Tundra to that alternative world where service providers most likely to conceal when they're intended to be finishing your kitchen.
Safety
The Tundra has not yet been crash-tested, however it is well-equipped with basic safety functions. Not already stated are side-impact air bags for the front seats and also side curtains to secure the front as well as rear seats. The drapes are designed to deploy in case of a rollover to protect residents and stop their ejection. There's a cutoff button so the bags will not deploy when off-roading.
Cargo & Towing
I didn't drive or discover a Normal Cab, but dimensions and images reveal a charitable storage space location behind the seats with incorporated storage space boxes. The Double Cab's 60/40-split backseat paddings flip up to disclose a relatively uncluttered flooring. I like the resulting high upright room to the CrewMax's fold-down backrests, which give a nice plastic-covered job surface area but not as much floor-to-ceiling height.
No place is the new version's higher dimension more significant compared to in the cargo bed, which has grown a couple of inches in many dimensions. It now determines 66.4 inches between the wall surfaces and 50.0 inches between the wheel wells. The sides are 22.3 inches high. A decreased tailgate prolongs the CrewMax bed to about 7.5 feet, so even the fastest bed leaves just 1/2 foot of basic structure materials hanging.
The securing tailgate has an assist strut that makes it feasible to lift with one or two fingers. A bonus is that it damps the movement, so the gate additionally lowers slowly under its own weight as opposed to pounding down onto the assistance wires. Toyota states the strut additionally prevents jumping when driving with eviction down. Where Nissan provides a manufacturing facility spray-in bedliner, Toyota has stuck with the plastic lay-in type, believing that proprietors desire the choice of removing it down the line and also giving a prospective brand-new proprietor with an unmarred bed.
Because of the different taxi as well as bed sizes and also engine and also driveline choices, I can spend the remainder of the version year wading through payload and hauling specifications for you, so I'll just say the model line's payload scores vary from 1,420 pounds to 2,060 pounds. (Typical of half-ton vehicles, it can carry an entire load.) The towing maxima run from a healthy and balanced 10,100 pounds in a 4x4 CrewMax to 10,800 extra pounds in a 4x2 Regular Taxi when each is geared up with the 5.7-liter V-8 and also optional Towing Plan, which includes the drawback receiver, wiring, enhanced back springtime prices, a transmission-fluid colder as well as a tow/haul change mode (on the six-speed only). All the specifics can be discovered by clicking on the Standard Equip. & Specs as well as the Available Options switches over left wing.
Tundra in the Market
Full-size pick-ups are the market section foreign brands have actually failed to break-- perhaps the last continuing to be one. These are the highest-volume as well as highest-profit cars that the American firms market, which is possibly why Toyota officers have called the new Tundra one of the most crucial design introduction in the firm's background. For point of view, Ford and also GM market near to a million full-size pick-ups a year. Toyota may have offered as lots of Tundras since they initially took place sale for the 2000 model year. Having actually sold greater than 124,500 Tundras in 2006, Toyota is cautiously forecasting sales of 200,000 for the new generation in 2007, taking into consideration a late launch. Toyota has just about assured a "bigger" Tundra, recommending a three-quarter or one-ton variation and also possibly a diesel option.
The brand-new Tundra has some impressive specs and also some features that I 'd define as advancements more than developments. I might say that Nissan and also Honda showed more technology out of the gate compared to the domestics have, but that hasn't already provided equivalent sales or road cred. In this most loyal of car market sectors, reliability and also durability could be more vital. As the auto sector continues to globalize, and also as Toyota constructs a growing number of of its models in North America utilizing an increasing number of residential parts as well as creating an increasing number of American jobs, the concept of acquiring a Japanese pick-up becomes more and more acceptable among buyers. With the noteworthy exemption of the United Auto Workers as well as union fans, the practice of acquiring American just to get American has actually slowly eroded, as well as several Americans have actually owned or experienced Toyota vehicles and SUVs.
Toyota does not commonly get it right the first time, or always the second, yet it has a background of making generational adjustments that eventually put its items at or near the top of their automobile course in sales and/or appeal. It happened with the Camry, the Corolla and also the Sienna minivan. It hasn't already took place yet with the Yaris subcompact. It may be occurring right now with the 2007 Tundra.
