2005 Toyota Tundra Overview

Introduction

The Toyota Tundra is a full-size, half-ton pickup that raises the competitive bar in its class. It's also built to Toyota's high standards of quality, durability and reliability.

The 2007 Toyota Tundra lineup comes in five different setups. The Regular Cab offers only storage space behind the front seat, and either the 6.5-foot standard bed or the 8-foot long bed. The Double Cab features rear side doors, forward-hinged like on an SUV, and seats for as many as six; the Double Cab comes with the standard bed or the long bed. Then there's the CrewMax, with full-size rear side doors, and the short bed. The base engine is a 236-hp 4.0-liter V6. Next up is a 271-hp 4.7-liter V8. At the top is a 381-hp 5.7-liter V8. The 4.0-liter and 4.7-liter engines come with a five-speed automatic, the larger V8 comes with a six-speed automatic. All have a manual gear-selection feature. Electronic, part-time, four-wheel drive is offered on V8-powered Tundras.

For 2007, the Toyota Tundra gets redesigned.

The Toyota Tundra is smooth and quiet, light on its feet, and easy and enjoyable to drive on a daily basis. It also incorporates Toyota's renowned quality, durability and reliability.

Toyota Tundra is available as a two-door Regular Cab, an extended Access Cab with auxiliary rear doors, and as a true four-door Double Cab. Two- and four-wheel-drive versions are offered, employing similar suspensions and bed heights. Three trim levels are available: base, SR5, and Limited. Access Cab V8 models are available with a full-width or stepside bed. Two engines are available. The base V6 has grown from 3.4 to 4.0 liters. It still breathes through dual-overhead-cam heads, and now uses Toyota's computer-controlled variable valve timing with intelligence to produce 245 horsepower. The optional i-Force DOHC V8 sticks with its previous 4.7-liter displacement, but acquires VVT-i to boost horsepower from 240 to 282, and torque from 315 pound-feet to 325. Transmissions are new, too. The V6 now comes with a new six-speed manual. A new five-speed automatic is optional with the V6, standard with the V8.

For 2005, the Toyota Tundra gets a power increase and more standard features.
