2nd generation Toyota Tundra CrewMax

The Toyota Tundra is a large pickup truck introduced by Toyota in 1999. It was widely considered to be the first import-brand V8 pickup truck that was similar to American pickups. The Tundra was nominated for Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year award in 2000 and 2008. The vehicle parts are produced by Central Motor , a wholly owned subsidiary of Toyota. The final assembly was done in the Toyota plant of Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana in Princeton (Indiana) until 2009 , since then at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas in San Antonio .

The first generation had a lot in common with the old, medium-sized T100 and the smaller Tacoma . The most important thing in common was the 3.4-liter V6 engine, which was the top engine for the T100 and Tacoma. It served as the base engine for the Tundra, with a 4.7-liter V8 - for the first time in a Toyota pickup - also available.

Toyota Tundra SR5 with extended cab (2000–2002)

In May 1999, the first Tundra was introduced as the Model 2000. The prototype and the “show trucks” were called T150. Ford complained, however, that this name was too reminiscent of their dominant F-150 model and so Toyota had to rename the T150 to Tundra after a court ruling. Toyota then stated that they had never wanted to name the production model T150. As a return coach, Toyota sued Ford when they brought out the Lincoln LS ; Toyota said that name was too close to the Lexus LS .

Toyota Tundra StepSide

The Tundra was slightly larger than the T100, but was still viewed as too small and car-like to be a serious opponent of US pickups. Its curb weight is given as 1785–1912 kg. It was made 120,000 times a year, double the number sold by the T100. The Tundra also sold best of all Toyota vehicles from the start. He was highly praised by the press and by Motor Trend as Truck of the Year 2000 and by Consumer Reports as the best full-size truck nominated. The Tundra was built at Toyota's new Princeton, Indiana plant and showed that Toyota was making serious efforts to bridge the gap with the "Big Three" (GM, Ford and Chrysler) in all major market segments.

The engines for the Tundra were a 3.4-liter V6 with 24 valves that developed 190 bhp (140 kW) and a torque of 298 Nm, and a 4.7-liter V8 engine with 32 valves, the met the LEV classification, had 245 bhp (180 kW) power and a torque of 427 Nm. From Toyota Racing Development (TRD) there was a compressor for the 3.4-liter V6 (2002-2003), which increased its output to 260 bhp (191 kW) and its torque to 350 Nm. At the end of the second year of production, TRD introduced a second compressor for the V8 (2002-2003), which brought it to 300 bhp (221 kW) and 540 Nm. The V6 supercharger is still widely available, while the V8 supercharger is harder to find as TRD stopped manufacturing when the new 4.7L V8 variable valve timing (VVTi) engine came out.

Toyota Tundra (2003-2006)

In 2003 the radiator grille was revised and in 2004 a version with a double cab was introduced. The double cabin had four normal doors and interior and exterior equipment details from the Sequoia . Your bed is almost 125 mm longer than that of the Nissan Titan and Ford F-150 . The double cab is also 330 mm longer and 76 mm higher than the normal flatbed truck and the flatbed truck with an extended driver's cab. A new engine was introduced in 2005: a 4.0-liter V6 with 236 bhp (174 kW) output and 361 Nm torque. At the same time, the 4.7-l V8 received variable valve control (VVTi) and thus achieved 271 bhp (199 kW) and 424 Nm. The manually shifted five-speed gearbox was replaced by a six-speed gearbox and a five-speed automatic replaced the old four-speed one. Despite a permissible trailer load of 3,080 kg (double cab) or 3,216 kg (flatbed truck), each with a V8 engine, the Tundra could not yet compete with the big pickups of the Big Three and Nissan . American pickup enthusiasts therefore still refer to the Tundra as a 7/8 pickup.

In 2006 a Darrell Waltrip edition was offered to commemorate the NASCAR star and participation in the NASCAR pickup race. Only 2,000 copies of the V8 double cab tundra were produced. The package included special emblems and 18 ″ aluminum wheels.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) rated the tundra as “good” in the front impact test.

Toyota Tundra Double Cab (2007)

A larger tundra was unveiled at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show . It was similar in some details to its smaller sister model Tacoma , in others to the concept vehicle FTX . Its curb weight is 2078-4147 kg. A special detail were the fenders that were shaped like biceps . The pickup had been improved in many ways; z. B. the permissible trailer load rose to over 4,500 kg, the payload to over 900 kg and he got a new 5.7-liter V8 engine (type Toyota 3UR-FE) in conjunction with a six-speed automatic transmission. So there were three engines to choose from for the second generation Tundra: The new 5.7-l V8 with an output of 381 bhp (280 kW) and a torque of 544 Nm, the old 4.7-l V8, Type 2UZ-FE, with an output of 276 bhp (203 kW) and a torque of 424 Nm and the old 4.0-l V6, type 1GR-FE, with 236 bhp (174 kW) and a torque of 361 Nm.

When the new Tundra came out in February 2007, the model was available in 31 different versions: three flat bed lengths, three cab designs, four wheelbases and two types of transmission. A new double cab replaced the old, extended driver's cab and instead of the old double cab there was an even longer version that competes successfully with the Dodge Ram Mega Cab. The double cabin is available with platform lengths of 1,980 mm, normal length and 2,430 mm, while the extended double cabin is only available with a short platform of 1,676 mm length. The Tundra also has a new six-speed automatic transmission with torque converter lockup in fifth and sixth gear - standard on the 5.7-liter V8. The vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 6.3 s and makes the quarter mile in 14.7 s.

Toyota created a tundra that can be used for a lot of construction work; it has extra large door handles, a rail system on the platform, built-in tow hooks and headrests that can be adjusted for workers wearing hard hats. The Tundra also has a partially lockable differential (Auto-LSD), stability control (VSC), slip control (TRAC), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), brake assist (BAS), anti-lock braking system (ABS) and a rear door assistant as standard. Its high base price of USD 22,390 makes it more expensive than the Chevrolet Silverado (USD 17,860) and the base version of the Ford F-150 (USD 17,345).

Some other improvements that Toyota has made the Tundra are trailer mirrors available on request (further out on the vehicle to see past wider trailers), a 100 l petrol tank, 22 ″ aluminum wheels on request, a reversing camera, a Bluetooth connection, a large center console (big enough for a laptop with a 15 ″ screen), particularly large brake discs and calipers and the aforementioned 6-speed automatic transmission.

All Tundra with a 5.7-liter V8 engine are equipped with a tractive power package that includes an oil cooler for the engine and automatic transmission, a trailer coupling, a rear axle ratio of 1: 4.3 and the particularly large brakes to prevent premature fading .

Assembly plants

The new tundra will be built in two plants in the United States . On the one hand, as before, in Princeton (Indiana), on the other hand in the new plant in San Antonio (Texas). While approx. 100,000 tundra can be built in Princeton per year, approx. 200,000 units leave the new plant in San Antonio each year. When this new plant was built, Toyota arranged for 21 key suppliers to build factories on the same site to avoid logistical problems. This made these suppliers even more dependent on Toyota. Toyota also invested US $ 9 million in health care for its employees and their families.

As of 2008, all tundra have been built in Texas. The Tundra's engines and drivetrain components are only manufactured in factories in the United States.

• 5.7 liter V8, type 3UR-FE, 381 bhp (280 kW), 544 Nm, ULEV II certified

Changes from model year to model year

• From 2008, an additional 13 variants were offered, so that there were a total of 44 model variants. The 2008 models had better features and lower prices; There was also a new Tundra version below the SR5 equipment, which was intended for business people and customers who pay close attention to the price.
• Since 2009, all Tundra with a 5.7-liter V8 engine have been suitable for ethanol operation (E85) in certain regions as standard. Toyota improved the TRD Sport package and offered a new TRD Rock Warrior package. Compared to the previous year, prices rose by 0.4%.
• The grille and taillights have been redesigned for the 2010 model year Tundra. There is now a new top of the range equipment called the Platinum . And there is a new 4.6-liter V8 engine with a six-speed automatic transmission instead of the previous 4.7-liter V8. Standard knee airbags for the driver and front passenger ensured that five stars were awarded in a new NHTSA frontal impact test. The first Tundra of the 2010 model year were delivered to dealers at the end of April 2009.

Security aspects

The Tundra is now equipped with two front airbags, two side airbags for the front seats and curtain airbags with rollover sensors for all rows of seats. Stability control (VSC), slip control (TRAC), anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBD) are also standard. From the 2010 model year, knee airbags for the driver and front passenger are also included as standard.

The Toyota Tundra was the first large pickup to earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick designation ; The new Ford F-150 followed in 2009. The competing products from GM, Dodge and Nissan could not deserve this designation, as their values ​​for the side impact were assessed as “sufficient” or “insufficient”. In the frontal impact tests carried out by the IIHS, the Tundra achieved the rating “good”, the highest possible rating in the side impact test and also the maximum rating for rear impact protection.

In the tests of the NHTSA, the Tundra, model 2007–2009, received four out of five stars in frontal impact, both for the driver and the passenger seat. However, the 2010 model received all five stars in this discipline. If the risk of serious injuries is 11–20%, the car receives four stars; for five stars, this value must be less than 10%.

The main difference between the IIHS and NHTSA frontal impact tests is that the former carries out an offset impact with partial overlap of the vehicle fronts, while the latter tests a direct frontal impact. The offset impact stresses the structure of the vehicle more, while the direct frontal impact stresses the restraint systems more. In both cases, the tests are only comparable if both parties involved in the accident have roughly the same weight.

Because the Tundra's VSC system is turned off when the vehicle is switched to four-wheel drive, Consumer Reports raised the question of whether the title Top Safety Pick was really justified in this case. Toyota's answer was that the Tundra had a rigid connection between the front and rear axles in all-wheel drive and that stability control would therefore not work. In front-wheel drive mode, however, the stability control remains active and most drivers only choose all-wheel drive on slippery surfaces.

TRD compressor

The compressor for the 5.7-liter V8 engine from Toyota Racing Development (TRD) has been available since June 2008 . The engine output increases to 504 bhp (376 kW) and the maximum torque to 750 Nm. If the installation is carried out at a Toyota dealer, the original warranty is retained. This installation kit contains two Roots blowers from Eaton , each with two four-bladed rotors, a design that is also used in the newly introduced TRD Aurion , the Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 and the Cadillac CTS-V . The official retail price for the kit is 5,875 US dollars .

The car magazine Edmunds tested the Toyota Tundra TRD and found it to be 13.3 s as the minimum driving time for a quarter mile from a standstill. The top speed was 167 km / h. Edmunds had previously tested a naturally aspirated version of the Tundra 5.7-liter V8 and determined a driving time for the quarter mile of 14.8 s, with a top speed of 150.7 km / h. The test of the Toyota Tundra TRD from Motor Trend ended with a driving time of 13.0 s for the quarter mile and a top speed of 171 km / h. This tundra took 4.4 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h.

Special models

In June 2008, Toyota introduced the Tundra's Ivan "Ironman" Stewart Signature series. There were three different special equipment packages, one of which included the TRD compressor.

Stewart had won the Baja 500 seventeen times with Toyota.

Recalls in model year 2007

In May 2007, a Toyota spokesman admitted that twenty cases of camshaft failures had been reported on the all-new 3UR-FE 5.7-liter V8s. Toyota announced that this failure was a result of cracks in the camshaft casting process and that the supplier has now corrected this error. In other cases, Toyota either wants to replace the entire engine and extend the warranty or buy back the entire car from the owner. Toyota actually wanted to start selling the Tundra with a 5.7-liter V8 in summer 2007, but then decided to put the engine into series production earlier and bring the model out in February 2007. This decision was made in order to meet the wishes of product planners and dealers for a high-performance V8 model from the start of sales of the new generation.

On December 13, 2007, Toyota called 15,600 all-wheel drive models from the 2007 Tundra year to the workshops because the rear cardan shaft could have broken. ". There is the possibility that a connection has been heat treated incorrectly in the rear propeller shaft and therefore does not have the right hardness" , Toyota said, adding: "This can be a fraction of the propeller shaft in the area perform this connection." There was a single case of strange noises on an affected vehicle. But there are no known accidents that could be attributed to this error. As of December 2007, all Toyota owners concerned were notified and should contact their local Toyota dealer to carry out an inspection and, if necessary, to have the cardan shaft replaced.

In the 2007 Consumer Reports report , the all-wheel drive Tundra received a poor reliability rating primarily because of problems with all-wheel drive . On November 10, 2008, however, one could read in the new report from Consumer Reports that Toyota had apparently fixed the problems. The rating is now "average" and a buy recommendation is given.

At the Tokyo Motor Show 2007, a Toyota manager stated that the quality deficiencies had brought “shame” to the company. In July 2006, Toyota board member Watanabe apologized for the loss of quality, but promised that the company would make significant efforts to resolve these issues.

Tundra Diesel

In September 2007, Toyota announced plans to bring out a diesel variant of the Tundra. That was also confirmed at the North American International Auto Show in January 2008. Toyota board member Watanabe said, "I am pleased to confirm that a new, cleaner V8 diesel engine will be offered in the Sequoia and Tundra models in the near future." But later in 2008, a Toyota manager on the state said Exhibition in Texas that they wanted to wait with the introduction of the Tundra Diesel because the model was selling worse than expected.

Motor Trend and Car and Driver had previously reported that Toyota was planning to build a heavier tundra that would compete in the 0.75-ton class.

At the 2007 SEMA Auto Show , Toyota showed its Tundra Diesel Dually Project Truck. This heavy-duty tundra diesel is based on the heavily modified chassis of the Tundra CrewMax. It has an 8.0 liter V8 Hino diesel engine, an Eaton manual transmission and a number of other modifications.

At the end of 2006, Toyota bought GM shares in Isuzu . The Duramax V8 engine from Isuzu drives currently the 0.75- and 1-ton pickups from GM, but the engine for the 0.5-ton diesel is to be completely designed by GM and be built there.

The Australian version of the Toyota Land Cruiser has a 4.5-liter V8 diesel engine, which a future Tundra diesel could also be based on.

Tundra hybrid

Toyota's CEO Katsuaki Watanabe has announced that he would like to have a hybrid version of the Tundra built. However, Toyota still has to solve a few technical problems before such a vehicle can come onto the market.

According to Japanese newspaper Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Toyota is considering developing a gasoline-electric hybrid tundra for sale in North America around 2010.

Toyota could also develop a diesel-electric hybrid for the Tundra. In Japan, the Dyna and Hino Dutro van models have such a system. The Hino Ranger , a mid-size cab-over-engine truck, could also contribute a hybrid system for the next-generation Tundra.

At the 2008 North American International Auto Show, Toyota USA board member Jim Lentz stated: "Different models need different fuel-saving technologies (...) There are sure to be a number (of models) where hybrid technology doesn't make sense." . He went on to explain that the Sequoia and the Tundra are not planned to be hybrid variants in the near future; instead, these models should "get clean and efficient diesel engines". At the moment it seems as if the Tundra Hybrid has been transferred back to the engineering departments or even canceled entirely.

Sales figures

The sales figures of the Toyota Tundra have been moving completely or almost at the capacity limit of the production since 2000. The Indiana factory can produce 130,000 tundra a year. The Tundra has been in the market for over 5 years now and accounts for 17% of the 0.5 ton pickup market. In 2000, Toyota sold 107,798 Tundra, which is a significant improvement over the sales of its predecessor T100 with approximately 50,000 copies per year. In 2005, Toyota sold 126,529 Tundra. The bestselling Ford F-150 was sold 756,980 times in the same year. With the capacity of the new plant in Texas, Toyota wanted to sell around 200,000 Tundra in 2007. The company narrowly missed this goal.

Currently, approximately 70-80% of Tundra sales are for the 5.7 liter model and 46% of the cars sold are CrewMax. The Double Cabs are also selling well, but the normal flatbed trucks are far less in demand than expected.

The tundra is gaining ground; 23,150 units were sold in July 2007, more than the GMC Sierra in the same month, albeit significantly fewer than the Sierra twin Chevrolet Silverado. Throughout 2007 the GMC Sierra sold 12,000 more than the Tundra, Silverado more than 422,000 more, and the F-150 topped the list of sales.
