Traditionally, pickup trucks have not been known for their performance. Tradition is now history. The new full-size Tundra has been engineered to excel in all areas of performance. For starters, its available 4.7-liter, 245 hp* i-Force V8 is the only double overhead cam (DOHC), 32-valve V8 ever offered in a full-size pickup. There's no lag time with this powerplant - when you get on it, you're gone. From 0-60, the Tundra V8 4x2 is the fastest in its class.** What's more, the i-Force V8's advanced design helped the Tundra become one of the first full-size pickups to achieve low emission vehicle (LEV) status.

Tundra's no slouch in the corners either. Its variable-assist power rack-and-pinion steering provides excellent response on the highway and adjusts appropriately when parking. The coil-spring double-wishbone independent front suspension and the long leaf spring rear suspension offer excellent wheel travel. Along with gas-filled shock absorbers, this advanced suspension system can transform a rough road into easy street.

The full-size facts tell the story.
Earlier this year, AMCI, an internationally recognized automotive testing and evaluation firm, conducted a series of independent performance evaluations on all the top full-size pickups, including the new Toyota Tundra. And while some full-size truck fans might do a double take, we weren't surprised by the findings at all. In many of the most significant categories, Tundra models handily outperformed the competition.
