2008 Toyota Tundra Regular Cab
Supremacy? Toyota is drawing no punches by introducing one of the greatest, strongest, and also many capable vehicles in the sector, in addition to investing billions in a new advanced factory in the heart of vehicle country-San Antonio, Texas. Value? With Toyota aiming to more than increase its presence in the hotly objected to half-ton marketplace, the Tundra represents one of one of the most highly anticipated new automobile launches in several years-- auto or truck. Value? The brand-new Tundra supplies three various powertrains (one V-6 and also 2 V-8s), with the 5.7-liter V-8 a state-of-the-art wonder and torque beast-- and also is among one of the most powerful engines in any type of half-ton configuration. Toyota's platform has the whole segment covered with three various bed dimensions, three different wheelbases covering five various cab and bed setups, combined with three various trim bundles (Tundra Quality, SR5, as well as Limited) in 4 × 4 and also 4 × 2 drivetrains-- 44 various truck tastes to interested customers, from job vehicle to deluxe touring.
Using that kind of range right from eviction goes over and also enthusiastic; actually, some might say too ambitious. The current launch of the new Tundra has actually not lacked a couple of hiccups. A number of months back, an early output of camshafts in the 5.7-liter V-8 were failing. Toyota tells us they mapped down all the damaged parts to a particular batch and have given that made the improvements to the layout. No failings have appeared given that. A lot more recently, there have actually been some reports of transmission shudder under certain low-speed conditions, which suppliers have mapped to a torque converter issue. Toyota claims these occurrences were separated as well as have actually additionally been dealt with. And also ultimately, there's been babble on the net worrying tailgate problems, which Toyota is in the process of finding. Our assumption is much of these stories spread like wildfire, offered the lightning-rod effect this brand-new vehicle is having with lovers and also the rate with which a Web product can take a trip. With all that said, allow's take a much deeper look at just what's unique about our 2008 winner.
As stated in the introduction to this special area, we ran our competitors with a series of on- and off-road courses at a functioning Arizona proving-ground center, subjecting all our examination systems to an extensive collection of criteria. It was in our work-duty screening that the Tundra first started 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 crammed trailer in tow (note our performance analysis in the tale and the Tundra's winning Efficiency Score). The Tundra confirmed itself a star gamer in ordinary dress (Dual Cab Tundra Grade, 4.7 L V-8; $27K), as well as in fully dressed up (CrewMax Limited, 5.7 L V-8; $47K). When dressed down, the front bench seats allows for a column shifter as well as work-truck dash with a dual glovebox and surprise facility storage space compartment under the facility seat. Our completely filled version had flexible natural leather captain's chairs and a massive center console storage space container, large enough to hold a few laptop computers and also serve as a declaring closet. The CrewMax design, with its extensive guest cabin, supplies a gliding rear seat with drop-forward as well as slide-forward capacity.
Among the more important interior conveniences, cabin quiet (while driving on rough roadways or at freeway rates) is possibly the Tundra's a lot of impressive top quality. If there's a quieter truck available, we haven't driven it. Just 2 beefs with the inside: the facility pile's extreme size as well as visual split (looks like it's cut in two) and the area of the navigating system almost out of arm's reach for the driver.
Is it the best vehicle? That all relies on just what you need, but by providing 44 various taste selections, Toyota expects to have just what you're searching for, packing sturdy vehicle abilities into a half-ton vehicle that's quiet and also solid. After some debate, the majority of our judges concur: One of the most deserving competitor for Motor Trend's 2008 Truck of the Year title is the all-new Toyota Tundra.
