The Toyota Tundra fullsize ¾-ton pickup offers a viable alternative to Detroit's best and comes in a huge number of configurations tailored toward buyers' individual needs. Offered in Standard, Double Cab and CrewMax interior configurations, the Tundra can also be ordered with 78.7-inch or 97.6-inch bed lengths (66.7 inches for the CrewMax).
The base motor is a 4.0-liter V6 making 270 hp and 278 lb-ft. of torque, 34 more ponies than last year thanks to the addition of variable valve timing. Upgrading to the 4.6-liter V8 ups output to 310 hp and 327 lb-ft. of torque, while the top-of-the-line 5.7-liter V8 is good for 381 hp and 401 lb-ft. of torque. The V6 puts power to the ground via a 5-speed automatic, while the two V8s are paired with 6-speed automatics. Towing capacity ranges from 4,500 to 10,100 lbs. depending on body style and engine and equipment choices.
