Power and Performance

In its base form, the Tundra makes use of a 3.4L twin-turbo V6 making 358 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. An available high-output version of the engine ups performance to 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. Either motor will be mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission featuring a sequential shifting mode and uphill/downhill shift logic.

The available 4WDemand 4-wheel drive system is complemented by an electronically controlled 2-speed transfer case and an automatic limited-slip differential ensuring maximum traction on slippery roads and rugged trails. Combined with the Tundra’s fully independent suspension, this 4WD system turns the truck into a serious off-roading machine.


Towing and Hauling 

When equipped with the 389-horsepower V6, the Tundra can tow well over 11,000 pounds. The truck can carry more than 1,600 pounds of payload within its durable composite bed, ranging in length from 5.5 feet to 8.1 feet. Added utility comes from the available deck rail system, enabling you to better secure your cargo with four adjustable tie-down cleats.

Passenger Cabin

The Tundra comfortably seats five people, whether you choose the Double Cab or CrewMax body style. The latter is especially roomy and provides close to 42 inches of legroom for rear passengers. Most trims offer dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. In addition to genuine leather upholstery, the Platinum model adds heating and ventilation for all seats and a 10-way power driver’s seat.

Numerous storage cubbies and compartments can be found throughout the Tundra’s cabin, including a large compartment hidden under the rear seats.


Infotainment System

While an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen is standard on the SR and SR5, other trims get a 14-inch display. All infotainment systems provide support for wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. An optional 12-speaker JBL premium audio system comes with an amplifier and a subwoofer for an immersive listening experience. Available cloud navigation includes Google points of interest data.

With its torquey powerplant, robust design, and inviting cabin, the Tundra continues to be one of the leading vehicles in its class. Get in touch with Ed Martin Toyota today and schedule a test drive with the latest model!
