2014 Toyota Tundra Crew Max
Recap
The Tundra is Toyota's full-size truck, slotting over the Tacoma. It is offered with three engine choices, rear- or four-wheel drive, three taxicab arrangements, and also with a typical or long bed.
Automobile Review
The Tundra is a small player in the full-size vehicle segment due to its aging powertrains and also lack of refinement compared to rivals from General Motors, Ford, and Ram. A 4.0-liter V-6 generating 270 hp and also 278 lb-ft of torque, a 4.6-liter V-8 making 310 hp and also 327 lb-ft, and a 5.7-liter V-8 generating 381 hp and 401 lb-ft paired to a 5- or six-speed automated rollover from the pre-refresh Tundra. Toyota fine-tuned the truck by improving the ride high quality, retuning the suspension for better security, as well as minimizing roadway sound to enhance comfort on-road. Off the sidewalk, the vehicle stays comfy, straining harsh surface areas. Regarding gas economic climate, the EPA rates the rear-drive Toyota Tundra 16/20 mpg city/highway for V-6 models, 15/19 mpg with the 4.6-liter V-8, as well as 13/18 with the 5.7-liter V-8. Four-wheel drive is only offered on the V-8 designs and also they are rated at 14/18 mpg for the 4.6-liter while the 5.7-liter attains 13/17 mpg.
While Toyota boosted the 2014 Tundra's interior, it lags behind competitors as a result of irregular use of soft and difficult plastics. Wind sound stays a problem in spite of efforts making the cabin more premium compared to before. Boosted seats make the cabin a better place to spend time in while the sizable back seats have adequate area for full-sized grownups. The enhancement of a brand-new infotainment system and typical Entune Costs Sound updates the 2014 Tundra.
Depending on the version, the Toyota Tundra has a three- and also four-star total safety and security ranking from the NHTSA (out of a feasible 5 star) while IIHS has actually offered it a good rating throughout four groups (excellent is the greatest possible score) except the tiny overlap front category, where it has actually not been evaluated.
What We Assume
The Tundra's carryover powertrains hold it when compared to full-size trucks from GM, Ford, as well as Ram, which are equipped with advanced and also efficient engines and transmissions. In an Initial Examination evaluation of a 2014 Tundra 1794 CrewMax Version, we claimed that the new version continuouslies drag its rivals in fuel economic situation, displaying a "Texas-size crave petroleum." Additionally, in our First Drive review, we kept in mind the misleading nature of the inside, which "appeared like a solid chunk of aluminum taken off an Audi as well as feeling 3-cent plastic."
