Here’s what our sources at Toyota have told us the last couple of years…
“Toyota’s going to build a couple of diesel Tundra’s, and one of them will be a real live heavy-duty monster. Count on it - 3 years after launch tops.”
“No - wait - we’re going to build a HD diesel right now, only [...]
The Tundra Headquarters website has grown by leaps and bounds during the last 2 years or so, and we now enjoy more than 20k visitors a month! While this is very exciting, the fact is many Tundra owners have never even heard of us! Here’s what we’re going to do to become more popular in [...]
ARB announced a new “modular” Sahara bumper bull-bar combo unit for the 2007-and-up Toyota Tundra just after Thanksgiving, and we completely missed the announcement (until now).

The kit includes Bilstein 5100 maintenance-free shocks.
The amount of lift is fully adjustable - anywhere from no lift to 3.5 inches.
Since this kit replaces the factory coil-over assembly, there’s no [...]
A few months ago we reviewed a Tundra lift kit offered by Low Range Off-Road, and we gave it very high marks. The Low Range kit is made using rust-proof, light weight CNC machined aluminum (far superior to powder-coated steel kits offered by many others), the instructions are excellent (the best we’ve ever seen), and [...]

After being completely redesigned for the 2007 model year, the Toyota Tundra returns for 2008 with only a few minor changes. While the previous Tundra had been slightly smaller than full-size best-sellers such as the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado, the new Tundra grew significantly and gained more assertive styling, including the very prominent upright grille, more detailed headlamps, and flar

Not to sound like a typical automotive mysoginist, but there’s just something special about a woman with a truck. Maybe it’s the fact that she’s willing to own a big, burly, and difficult to manuever vehicle without a high level of sophistication or refinement. After all, men are known for a lot of the same [...]
We found a handful of Tundra videos on YouTube left by a user calling themselves tundrablack. After a little investigating (and a lot of video watching), we found this user’s CarDomain.com page. This truck is awesome.

We’re not sure why, but the reviewers at Consumer Reports, Car and Driver, and Edmunds.com don’t seem to know very much about pickups. It’s not because they don’t like our favorite truck - the Tundra always does well enough - it’s just that all the reviews have some variation of this complaint:

The differences between the Honda Ridgeline and the Toyota Tundra demonstrate the fundamental difference between the understanding each of these Japanese manufacturers has of the North American truck market.

Toyota's got some changes and rearranges underway with its North American facilities to better serve the demands of the market. The biggest news is that Prius production will be coming Stateside, which will help unkink the supply pipeline, if not also lower costs.

In a very wise move, Toyota has announced that they’re going to consolidate all Tundra production to the San Antonio plant. Currently, Tundras are produced in both San Antonio, Texas and Princeton, Indiana. Originally, before the launch of the 2nd-generation Tundra, Toyota decided to produce the Tundra at a couple of different plants for a [...]
The Toyota Tundra is a beefy-looking full-size truck. Toyota went out of their way to make sure that it had enough ‘attitude’ to contend with the muscled look of the Dodge Ram and the sleek lines of the sharp-angled F150. The bulging front end with the over-sized grille really helped to define the [...]
While it’s not entirely unexpected, sales of the Toyota Tundra plummeted nearly 53% in June 2008 compared to June 2007. Adjusted for selling days (only 24 in June 08′ compared to 27 in June 07′), that still works out to a 47% sales decline month-to-month. Year over year, however, Tundra sales have only dropped about [...]

Tundra is also notable for good road manners, an interior that offers ample passenger space and a load of useful features.A choice of three cabs are available: the Regular Cab, the Double Cab and the CrewMax. Double Cab offers an extended cab with four forward-hinged doors, while CrewMax is an oversized crew cab.A choice of three engines enables this second-generation Tundra to respond to all types of transportation needs.

Although similar to the T100 in size, the first generation Tundra had a more American look and feel and ultimately had something the T100 never had, a V8 engine underneath its hood. The Tundra was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award and was Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year for the year 2000 and 2008. As of 2007, the Tundra (now in its second generation) now holds 17% of the 1/2 ton full-size pickup market beating the GMC Sierra in monthly sa

Here’s the deal with “special ordering” a new Toyota. Technically, it’s possible. Realistically, it’s often too much trouble to bother with.
Toyota, unlike domestic manufacturers, doesn’t build trucks to a dealer’s spec. Instead, before one vehicle is built, Toyota determines the number of red ones, the number of 4×4’s, the number of limiteds, etc. that they’re going to build. As the trucks are produced and sold, Toyota may (or may not) tweak their pre-determined production numbers based on sales rates and commodity availability. Witness the beginning of the 07′ model year — Toyota was producing quite a few regular cab Tundras in a “fleet” configuration because they anticipated a lot of fleet sales. Unfortunately, the demand for reg cabs was low, so Toyota’s first incentive was $1,000 on all regular cab Tundras.
In short, Toyota doesn’t build trucks based on orders. They build trucks based o
When Toyota first announced it was coming out with a full-size pickup truck to go head to head with the big boys from Ford, Chevy, and Dodge, the question arose as to whether an import could truly compete as a heavyweight. The answer is in: The new Toyota Tundra is now ready to take on any American-made pickup truck — on all levels.
Superiority? Toyota is pulling no punches by introducing one of the biggest, strongest, and most capable vehicles in the segment, as well as investing billions in a new state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in the heart of truck country-San Antonio, Texas. Significance? With Toyota looking to more than double its presence in the hotly contested half-ton marketplace, the Tundra represents one of the most highly anticipated new vehicle launches in many years — car or truck. Value? The new Tundra offers three different powertrains (one V-6 and two V-8s), with the 5.7-liter V-8 a high-tech wonder and torque monster — and is among the most power
