2008 Toyota Tundra Regular Cab
Supremacy? Toyota is drawing no punches by presenting one of the biggest, greatest, and most qualified cars in the sector, along with investing billions in a brand-new state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in the heart of vehicle country-San Antonio, Texas. Relevance? With Toyota aiming to more than double its visibility in the hotly contested half-ton industry, the Tundra represents one of one of the most extremely prepared for new vehicle launches in several years-- car or truck. Worth? The brand-new Tundra provides three various powertrains (one V-6 and two V-8s), with the 5.7-liter V-8 a modern wonder and also torque beast-- as well as is amongst the most powerful engines in any type of half-ton setup. Toyota's platform has the whole section covered with 3 various bed dimensions, three different wheelbases covering 5 various cab and bed configurations, incorporated with three various trim bundles (Tundra Grade, SR5, and also Limited) in 4 × 4 as well as 4 × 2 drivetrains-- 44 different vehicle flavors to interested buyers, from job vehicle to high-end touring.
Supplying that type of variety right out of the gate is impressive and ambitious; in fact, some could say too enthusiastic. The recent launch of the brand-new Tundra has actually not been without a couple of hiccups. Numerous months ago, an early output of camshafts in the 5.7-liter V-8 were falling short. Toyota tells us they mapped down all the afflicted components to a certain batch and also have actually given that made the improvements to the layout. No failures have actually appeared given that. Much more recently, there have actually been some reports of transmission shudder under certain low-speed conditions, which suppliers have traced to a torque converter concern. Toyota says these incidents were isolated as well as have additionally been fixed. And also finally, there's been chatter on the net concerning tailgate problems, which Toyota is in the procedure of finding. Our assumption is a lot of these tales spread like wildfire, given the lightning-rod result this new vehicle is having with enthusiasts and also the rate with which an Internet thing could travel. With all that said, let's take a deeper check out what's special concerning our 2008 champion.
As discussed in the introduction to this special area, we ran our contenders with a collection of on- as well as off-road programs at a working Arizona proving-ground facility, subjecting all our examination devices to a rigorous collection of requirements. It remained in our work-duty screening that the Tundra first began to capture our focus, with the 5.7-liter V-8 Limited CrewMax Tundra running miles ahead of the competitors, with and also without a loaded trailer in tow (note our performance evaluation in the tale as well as the Tundra's winning Efficiency Score). The Tundra verified itself a celebrity player in plain outfit (Double Taxicab Tundra Quality, 4.7 L V-8; $27K), along with in fully dressed up (CrewMax Limited, 5.7 L V-8; $47K). When dressed down, the front bench seating allows for a column shifter and work-truck rush with a dual glovebox as well as covert facility storage compartment under the center seat. Our totally packed design had supple leather captain's chairs and also a big center console storage bin, big sufficient to hold a couple of laptop computers as well as serve as a filing cupboard. The CrewMax design, with its extended guest cabin, offers a gliding back seat with drop-forward and slide-forward ability.
One of the more important interior conveniences, cabin quiet (while driving on harsh roadways or at freeway speeds) is possibly the Tundra's a lot of impressive top quality. If there's a quieter vehicle available, we haven't driven it. Only 2 beefs with the inside: the center pile's excessive size and aesthetic split (appears like it's cut in two) and also the area of the navigating system nearly from arm's grab the chauffeur.
Is it the excellent truck? That depends upon exactly what you require, however by supplying 44 different flavor options, Toyota anticipates to have just what you're trying to find, stuffing heavy-duty vehicle capacities right into a half-ton truck that's quiet and strong. After some discussion, the majority of our courts concur: One of the most deserving rival for Motor Fad's 2008 Truck of the Year title is the brand new Toyota Tundra.
