2008 Toyota Tundra
2008 Toyota Tundra Sr5
Prevalence? Toyota is pulling no strikes by presenting one of the most significant, best, and also many capable lorries in the segment, in addition to investing billions in a brand-new advanced manufacturing plant in the heart of vehicle country-San Antonio, Texas. Significance? With Toyota wanting to more than increase its visibility in the fiercely objected to half-ton marketplace, the Tundra stands for among the most extremely prepared for brand-new automobile launches in several years-- auto or vehicle. Value? The new Tundra provides 3 different powertrains (one V-6 and also two V-8s), with the 5.7-liter V-8 a high-tech wonder and also torque beast-- and is among one of the most effective engines in any half-ton arrangement. Toyota's platform has the whole section covered with 3 various bed dimensions, three different wheelbases covering five various cab and bed setups, integrated with three various trim bundles (Tundra Grade, SR5, as well as Limited) in 4 × 4 as well as 4 × 2 drivetrains-- 44 various truck tastes to interested buyers, from work truck to high-end touring.
Offering that sort of range right out of the gate is impressive and also ambitious; as a matter of fact, some could claim also enthusiastic. The current launch of the brand-new Tundra has not lacked a couple of hiccups. Several months earlier, an early outcome of camshafts in the 5.7-liter V-8 were falling short. Toyota tells us they mapped down all the affected parts to a particular set as well as have actually considering that made the modifications to the layout. No failings have actually emerged given that. Extra lately, there have been some reports of transmission shudder under particular low-speed problems, which dealers have traced to a torque converter problem. Toyota claims these cases were isolated and also have actually also been fixed. And lastly, there's been chatter online worrying tailgate problems, which Toyota is in the procedure of finding. Our assumption is most of these tales spread like wildfire, provided the lightning-rod result this brand-new truck is having with enthusiasts and also the speed with which a Net item could take a trip. With all that claimed, let's take a deeper consider exactly what's unique about our 2008 victor.
As discussed in the intro to this unique area, we ran our challengers through a collection of on- as well as off-road training courses at a working Arizona proving-ground center, subjecting all our examination systems to a strenuous set of criteria. It was in our work-duty screening that the Tundra first started to capture our focus, with the 5.7-liter V-8 Minimal CrewMax Tundra running miles ahead of the competition, with and without a crammed trailer in tow (note our efficiency evaluation in the tale as well as the Tundra's winning Efficiency Score). The Tundra verified itself a star player in simple gown (Dual Taxi Tundra Grade, 4.7 L V-8; $27K), along with in totally spruced up (CrewMax Limited, 5.7 L V-8; $47K). When dressed down, the front bench seats enables a column shifter and also work-truck rush with a double glovebox and also hidden center storage space compartment under the center seat. Our fully packed design had flexible natural leather captain's chairs and also a significant center console storage space container, large sufficient to hold a couple of laptop computers as well as work as a filing closet. The CrewMax model, with its extensive traveler cabin, uses a gliding back seat with drop-forward and also slide-forward capability.
Among the more crucial interior conveniences, cabin quiet (while driving on harsh roads or at highway rates) is probably the Tundra's many outstanding high quality. If there's a quieter truck available, we haven't driven it. Just 2 beefs with the inside: the facility pile's too much dimension and aesthetic split (looks like it's cut in two) and the area of the navigation system virtually out of arm's grab the motorist.
Is it the perfect truck? That all depends on just what you require, yet by supplying 44 different flavor selections, Toyota expects to have what you're seeking, packing heavy-duty truck abilities into a half-ton truck that's quiet and also solid. After some argument, the majority of our courts agree: The most deserving rival for Electric motor Pattern's 2008 Vehicle of the Year title is the all-new Toyota Tundra.
