08 toyota tundra
Supremacy? Toyota is pulling no punches by presenting one of the greatest, strongest, and most qualified cars in the sector, along with spending billions in a brand-new state-of-the-art factory in the heart of truck country-San Antonio, Texas. Value? With Toyota aiming to more than double its existence in the hotly disputed half-ton market, the Tundra stands for among the most extremely prepared for new vehicle launches in many years-- cars and truck or truck. Worth? The brand-new Tundra provides three various powertrains (one V-6 and also two V-8s), with the 5.7-liter V-8 a modern wonder and torque monster-- as well as is amongst one of the most effective engines in any half-ton setup. Toyota's platform has the entire section covered with 3 different bed dimensions, three different wheelbases covering five various taxicab as well as bed arrangements, combined with 3 different trim bundles (Tundra Quality, SR5, and also Limited) in 4 × 4 and 4 × 2 drivetrains-- 44 various vehicle flavors to interested purchasers, from work vehicle to deluxe touring.
Using that type of selection right out of the gate goes over as well as ambitious; as a matter of fact, some may say also enthusiastic. The recent launch of the brand-new Tundra has not lacked a few hiccups. A number of months back, an early outcome of camshafts in the 5.7-liter V-8 were failing. Toyota tells us they mapped down all the afflicted components to a certain set and have actually considering that made the adjustments to the style. No failures have actually emerged given that. A lot more lately, there have actually been some records of transmission shudder under specific low-speed problems, which dealers have actually traced to a torque converter problem. Toyota claims these occurrences were isolated and also have likewise been fixed. As well as lastly, there's been babble online concerning tailgate troubles, which Toyota is in the process of finding. Our assumption is most of these stories spread like wildfire, offered the lightning-rod effect this brand-new vehicle is having with fanatics and the rate with which a Net item could travel. With all that said, allow's take a much deeper look at what's special regarding our 2008 victor.
As stated in the intro to this special area, we ran our contenders via a series of on- and also off-road training courses at a functioning Arizona proving-ground center, subjecting all our examination systems to an extensive set of requirements. It remained in our work-duty testing that the Tundra initially began to catch our focus, with the 5.7-liter V-8 Minimal CrewMax Tundra running miles ahead of the competitors, with as well as without a packed trailer in tow (note our performance analysis in the tale and also the Tundra's winning Efficiency Rating). The Tundra verified itself a celebrity player in ordinary gown (Dual Taxi Tundra Quality, 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 and work-truck dash with a dual glovebox and hidden facility storage area under the facility seat. Our totally packed model had supple leather captain's chairs as well as a huge facility console storage container, huge sufficient to hold a few laptops and serve as a filing cabinet. The CrewMax version, with its extended traveler cabin, provides a moving rear seat with drop-forward as well as slide-forward capacity.
One of the more important indoor comforts, cabin quiet (while driving on rough roadways or at highway rates) is probably the Tundra's most remarkable high quality. If there's a quieter truck available, we have not driven it. Just two beefs with the interior: the facility pile's extreme dimension as well as aesthetic split (looks like it's cut in two) as well as the location of the navigating system almost out of arm's reach for the driver.
Is it the ideal vehicle? That depends on what you require, however by supplying 44 different flavor options, Toyota expects to have exactly what you're seeking, packing durable truck capabilities right into a half-ton vehicle that's quiet as well as solid. After some argument, the majority of our judges concur: One of the most deserving competitor for Electric motor Trend's 2008 Vehicle of the Year title is the brand new Toyota Tundra.
