Toyota Tundra New Photos

Toyota Tundra

When it originally debuted near the start of the new millennium, the Toyota Tundra was considered by many people to be the first import-brand full-size pickup truck to truly go head-to-head against the Big Three’s pickups. It had a lot of things in its favor, including a refined V8 engine and the backing of Toyota’s reputation for reliability and durability.
However, the first-generation Toyota Tundra ultimately found more of an audience with recreational pickup buyers than with hard-core users. Not quite full-size in dimensions or work capacity, the Tundra appealed to those seeking an easy-to-drive commuter or utility vehicle capable of handling weekend trips to the local home improvement center. Independent contractors, or those with heavy trailers or boats to pull, were put off by the original Tundra’s limited body configurations, smaller size and lower tow ratings.
A redesigned Tundra pickup has arrived, however, and with it Toyota hopes this truck will finally attract serious pickup truck buyers. An American-built half-ton truck with true full-size proportions, the second-generation Tundra features three cab sizes, three bed lengths and a choice of three engines. In every measure, the Toyota Tundra now stands on equal or higher ground than competing half-ton pickups.

2010 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4X4 Review

Massive. The exact word that struck me first, I went to the Toyota 4Runner 2010 days of departure.


What was the prototype compact SUV has been on the pack pounds and the new style, like when you stamp on top of all that loose.

No, I'm not alone. Sajeev Mehta seems closer to the truth about cars felt the same ... He wrote: "It looks like fat Elvis on four wheels."

Everything that goes directly into the mass of the driving experience. As Casey Kasem outtake said in his famous "great man ... seriously. 270 hp feels no more than sufficient to leave in order to overcome the inertia of the machine £ 4400 ... and the estimate of 17 city/22 highway EPA, you me know if you see him, right? Here in this blog, we get surprisingly close, and sometimes higher than the EPA estimates ... but the best that could be done by us, was 16 in a mixture of roads and highways. Without the highway, 13-point or 14-something would have happened to him.

The interior is designed to reduce the size to give weight, volume ... almost as if the idea of the 4Runner in a junior version of the Land Cruiser to convert. But we love the Land Cruiser .... above all, because that's what it should be. Oh, and the EPA is 13 city/18 highway ... that's about all 4Runner is carried on the testimony of our week.

Ours was the SR5 4x4 ... a reasonable base price $ 30,915 ... Option with an upgrade of the audio system ($ 585), rear view camera (a must for the car at $ 525), a number of amenities, sunroof, front and rear plus rear AC outlets ($ 1,050), the leather seats and power sliding doors with extra airbags ($ 3.570) mats and cargo mats ($ 204). With $ 800 for shipping, the bottom line $ 37,649.

No outrageous for this level of equipment. If it was in the '09 4Runner, I would not blink. But it seems a little change, that seems to go for a vehicle in the wrong direction at the wrong time.
