2007 Toyota Tundra Crew Max
Outside & Designing
The Tundra comes in three taxi designs: routine, prolonged and crew, called Routine Taxicab, Double Taxicab as well as CrewMax, specifically. The Normal and Dual Taxicab variations include brief or long freight beds determining 6.5 feet and also 8.1 feet in size.
There are three trim degrees: The Regular Taxi DX is a stripped-down job truck with a black grille and grille framework, and black bumpers, side mirrors as well as door as well as tailgate manages. It can be upgraded to an SR5 by means of an alternative plan that adds-- amongst functional functions-- a chrome front bumper with a body-colored cap.
The Tundra resembles the Tacoma midsize pick-up but with a taller, domed hood. Its most distinct aspect is a black strip that covers the crest of the grille framework. I'm not sure I like it, but there it is. It attracts attention more on the body-colored grille surround that begins the Sport Appearance Plan, an option used for Regular as well as Dual Taxis.
In the Double and CrewMax designs, the SR5 trim degree includes the chrome grille frame, and the chrome as well as body-colored therapy for the rear in addition to the front bumper. The Limited trim degree adds chrome to the grille's three bars, the door deals with as well as the side mirrors, with the exception of the optional extendable mirrors supplied for pulling functions. The Limited's front bumper is completely body-colored, as well as it's the only trim level with common haze lights.
The standard wheels are 18 inches, in steel for the SR5 and also alloy for the Limited. Twenty-inch alloys are optional.
Going & Ceasing
Along with a V-6 that's conventional on the Normal Taxicab and Dual Taxi, the Tundra offers two V-8 engines. The CrewMax doesn't had the V-6.
The 5.7-liter V-8 had actually not yet started automation in Huntsville, Ala., when I got my sneak preview of the Tundra in December 2006. Prior to I got it, I envisioned three assembly employees behind each vehicle, pressing; a designer in the bed with a bullhorn making vrooom vroom, roar roll sounds; as well as an advertising exec riding shotgun and claiming that the rearview mirrors had not been available in yet however would be added soon.
Actually (constantly much less interesting) there turned out to be plenty of the bigger blocks, which together with the pickup truck market's very first six-speed transmission, are the new Tundra's major specialty. The drivetrain goes over without a doubt, moving the Tundra as much as freeway rates faster compared to a 4x4 crew taxi has a right to go, complete with a hearty grumble from under the hood. On the other hand, when you increase slowly, having 6 gears maintains the engine speed low, and the sound in addition to it. The charitable torque is available in a wide band, with a minimum of 90 percent of the height torque on tap from 2,400 to 5,500 rpm, inning accordance with Toyota's dimensions.
The trans also delivers better gas mileage than the 4.7-liter and also its five-speed automated in 4x2 Expanses, as well as only regarding a fifty percent an mpg less than the 4.7-liter in 4x4 variations. It's the less-powerful engine that probably would benefit extra from the additional equipment, however the 4.7-liter goes to least partnered with a five-speed automatic. I located this pairing to be more than adequate in a Tundra Dual Taxicab 4x2, and also I'm positive it would suffice with 4WD also. Chevy as well as Ford vehicles have four-speeds. The Dodge Ram has five, as well as Ford has promised a six-speed for the next-generation F-Series.
All Tundras are fitted with four-wheel disc brakes with ABDOMINAL MUSCLE, brake assist and electronic brake-force circulation. In typical driving, the brakes did their work, however the numb pedal really feel left plenty to be preferred. The Silverado has an actual side right here.
4x4
The optional 4WD, available only with the V-8, is an easy part-time, shift-on-the-fly system with some added techniques that make it more sophisticated. At the twist of a dial, the dual-range transfer situation involves the front axle, which is detached by default for fuel savings. The torque is split 50/50 (front/rear), however the conventional four-wheel traction control can additionally move power from one side to the various other on either axle-- in both 4WD high and 4WD reduced modes.
RWD versions-- and also 4x4s in 2WD setting-- likewise have traction control. It can be turned off or readied to an intermediate position Toyota calls Auto LSD, which is merely an ABS-based limited-slip differential. It differs from the default grip control because it permits some wheelspin. When it, too, is switched off, the standard digital security system additionally is defeated.
Ride & Handling
The new Tundra Dual Cab and also CrewMax ride well with a vacant bed-- the worst-case scenario. There's some shudder in the framework when surrendering bumps, yet this is common amongst body-on-frame pickups, and also it's not excessive below. It's possible that the long-bed version's longer wheelbase would certainly introduce more spin or resonance, but I drove only the CrewMax and the Double Cab brief bed. When the first-generation Tundra appeared, it was commended for its flight comfort. Since that time, the competition has actually made inroads and Toyota has restored the truck for much heavier solution. For whatever reason, there's no more a clear distinction. The new Chevy Silverado, specifically, has risen to the challenge.
Readily available on the short-bed SR5 and Restricted is a TRD (Toyota Racing Advancement) Off-Road Bundle that has various adjusting thanks to stiffer front coil springtimes and rear fallen leave springtimes as well as firmer Bilstein brand shock absorbers and bushings. It likewise consists of distinctive 18-inch alloy wheels, offroad tires as well as front tow hooks. I drove this configuration off-road, where it did well, but I didn't experience it on pavement. Someone is certain to: The TRD bundle is available on rear-drive trucks.
Pickup truck steering isn't really anything to get thrilled around, however the 44-foot transforming size is an accomplishment on the CrewMax, standard-bed Double Cab and long-bed Normal Taxi. Contrast this to the Ford F-150's 45 feet as well as the Silverado's 47 feet. This isn't almost U-turns; it determines how sharply you could reduce a swing when you're vehicle parking or steering a trailer drawback. With a lengthy bed, the Double Taxicab's circle expands to 49 feet, shedding its benefit. 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 Seating
Another of the Tundra's firsts is a crew-cab backseat whose 60/40-split sections slide forward and back as well as recline. Doing so needs the largest rear seat in a pickup, which the Tundra delivers. With the reclining as well as the legroom, a limousine would be a reasonable contrast. Several of the area right here comes from a bed that's a bit shorter-- 5.5 feet long versus the Silverado Staff Taxi's 5.75 feet, yet that doesn't discuss the F-150, which has a 5.5-foot box and also a smaller sized backseat.
The Dual Taxi's backseat isn't half bad either, with workable legroom as well as doors that open forward rather than rearward. They turn practically to a right angle with the side, so access as well as departure is as basic as one can anticipate. The facility floor hump, as in the CrewMax, is just a couple of inches high.
The typical pole position is a 40/20/40-split towel bench that suits 3 passengers. To accommodate much shorter motorists, it's ideal to outfit the Tundra with a seat-height adjustment as well as a tilt/telescoping steering wheel. Neither is available in the base Routine Taxicab (the requirement wheel just turns). In the larger taxis, the SR5 trim degree brings costs fabric and also hands-on vehicle driver's elevation change to the split bench. You'll require the bucket seats-- standard on the Minimal and also optional on the SR5-- to obtain power changes and a guiding wheel that both turns and telescopes. The Limited also adds natural leather upholstery and also warmed seats.
The Tundra's high hood as well as freight box wall surfaces produce poor exposure instantly around the vehicle. For convenience of car park, however, front and rear sonar alert systems are offered (rear-only is a lot more common), and the optional navigation system consists of a rearview electronic camera that shows the location behind the truck on the dashboard screen-- a should for connecting a trailer drawback alone. At some time this year Toyota will give a dealer-installed rearview cam with a 3.5-inch screen as a stand-alone choice separate from the costly nav feature. Pricing isn't set for this uncommon as well as welcome feature, however it's approximated to be roughly $600-- way better than the navigation/rearview video camera choice's $2,810 sale price.
Interior Decoration, Quality
The "driver-oriented cockpit" exceeds the common angled center control board: Elevated as well as colored silver, the left-hand side of the console prolongs from between the pail seats, up the facility control panel and leftward to develop the whole vehicle driver's side of the control panel. I find the principle appealing, but the faux-metal surface isn't the best I've seen (some are in fact suitable nowadays). In my viewpoint the dashboard exhibits the best (glossy piano-black lacquer) as well as the most awful (plastic mimicing steel) of contemporary wood-trim-alternative products. This silvery stuff belongs to exactly what has stalled Toyota's well-regarded interior high quality, which is still excellent however isn't pulling away from the much-improved competitors.
Like the inner as well as external door takes care of, the handles and dials are large, in keeping with the gloved-workman photo. Taking an action beyond, the vehicle likewise recognizes exactly how the demands and also devices of artisans have actually altered-- that the idea of knuckle-dragging sheetrockers and tin-knockers is a distant memory: Designs with container seats have a facility storage console large sufficient for a laptop and fitted with rails to sustain hanging file folders.
Various other storage stipulations abound. There's a dual handwear cover area and so lots of bins, spaces and cubbies that it's like a jacket with way too many pockets; you might forget where you place things. I did. In my search, I was however unable to discover the button that magically teleports the Tundra to that alternating world where professionals most likely to conceal when they're expected to be finishing your kitchen.
Security
The Tundra has actually not yet been crash-tested, but it is fully equipped with standard safety functions. Not currently discussed are side-impact air bags for the pole positions as well as side drapes to shield the front and rear seats. The drapes are developed to release in the event of a rollover to safeguard passengers and also stop their ejection. There's a cutoff button so the bags won't release when off-roading.
Cargo & Towing
I really did not drive or explore a Routine Cab, yet measurements as well as pictures reveal a generous storage space location behind the seats with incorporated storage boxes. The Double Taxi's 60/40-split rear seat paddings turn approximately disclose a fairly clean flooring. I like the resulting high upright area to the CrewMax's fold-down backrests, which supply a good plastic-covered job surface area however not as much floor-to-ceiling elevation.
Nowhere is the new design's greater size extra meaningful than in the cargo bed, which has grown a couple of inches in the majority of measurements. It now measures 66.4 inches between the walls and also 50.0 inches in between the wheel wells. The sides are 22.3 inches high. A decreased tailgate expands the CrewMax bed to about 7.5 feet, so even the fastest bed leaves just 1/2 foot of standard building products hanging.
The locking tailgate has an assist strut that makes it possible to raise with one or two fingers. A bonus is that it damps the movement, so eviction additionally reduces slowly under its very own weight instead of pounding down onto the support wires. Toyota claims the strut additionally protects against jumping when driving with the gate down. Where Nissan offers a factory spray-in bedliner, Toyota has actually stuck to the plastic lay-in type, thinking that proprietors want the option of removing it down the line as well as giving a potential brand-new owner with an unmarred bed.
As a result of the various taxicab and also bed dimensions and also engine and also driveline selections, I can spend the rest of the design year wading through haul as well as hauling specifications for you, so I'll simply claim the version line's payload scores vary from 1,420 pounds to 2,060 extra pounds. (Regular of half-ton trucks, it can transport an entire lot.) The hauling optimums range from a healthy and balanced 10,100 pounds in a 4x4 CrewMax to 10,800 extra pounds in a 4x2 Routine Taxicab when each is furnished with the 5.7-liter V-8 and optional Towing Plan, that includes the drawback receiver, wiring, increased rear spring rates, a transmission-fluid colder as well as a tow/haul change setting (on the six-speed only). All the specifics can be located by clicking on the Requirement Equip. & Specifications and also the Available Options buttons above on the left.
Tundra in the marketplace
Full-size pick-ups are the market segment foreign brands have cannot split-- arguably the last remaining one. These are the highest-volume and also highest-profit cars that the American companies market, which is probably why Toyota execs have actually called the brand-new Tundra one of the most important design introduction in the company's background. For viewpoint, Ford and also GM market close to a million full-size pickups a year. Toyota might have marketed as lots of Tundras given that they initially took place sale for the 2000 design year. Having marketed more than 124,500 Tundras in 2006, Toyota is conservatively projecting sales of 200,000 for the brand-new generation in 2007, taking into account a late launch. Toyota has just about guaranteed a "bigger" Tundra, recommending a three-quarter or one-ton version and also potentially a diesel choice.
The new Tundra has some outstanding specifications and also some attributes that I would certainly characterize as innovations more than advancements. I could say that Nissan and Honda showed even more advancement out of eviction than the domestics have, but that hasn't provided comparable sales or road cred. In this most loyal of car market sections, reliability as well as longevity might be more important. As the automobile market remains to globalize, and as Toyota constructs more and more of its designs in The United States and Canada using a growing number of domestic components as well as producing increasingly more American tasks, the idea of getting a Japanese pickup becomes a growing number of acceptable amongst buyers. With the noteworthy exemption of the United Vehicle Workers and also union fans, the practice of getting American simply to purchase American has actually gradually worn down, and numerous Americans have possessed or experienced Toyota cars and SUVs.
Toyota does not commonly get it right the first time, or necessarily the second, yet it has a background of making generational changes that eventually placed its items at or near the top of their lorry course in sales and/or charm. It happened with the Camry, the Corolla and also the Sienna minivan. It hasn't already took place yet with the Yaris subcompact. It might be happening today with the 2007 Tundra.
