Full-sized pickup truck enthusiasts are loving the 2023 Toyota Tundra for its rugged dependability, cutting-edge technology, and unmatched driving experience. The Tundra is at the top of every Toyota dealer’s best-seller list thanks to its striking design, impressive capabilities, and unparalleled power. Let’s take a closer look at what makes the Toyota Tundra stand out.
Engine Specs
The Tundra is powered by an i-FORCE 3.4-liter Twin-Turbo six-cylinder engine that gets 358 horsepower at 5,200 RPM and 406 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 RPM. The paired DOHC valvetrain has 24 valves and aluminum cylinder heads with VVT-i, or Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence. The engine’s intake system has twin turbochargers with a water-cooled intercooler and electric wastegate valve actuators.
The Tundra’s capable engine is mated to a ten-speed Electronically Controlled automatic transmission. This transmission boasts a sequential shift mode as well as uphill and downhill shift logic. The Tundra’s rear-wheel drivetrain features an Automatic Limited-Slip Differential. The Tundra has an independent double-wishbone front suspension and a coil spring multi-link rear suspension.
Exterior
The Tundra sits on four 18-inch steel wheels. It has LED headlights/taillights with Daytime Running Lamps and an automatic on/off feature. The Tundra’s front bumper features a handsome black horizontal-bar grille, and the power side view mirrors are heated.
The base model Tundra SR comes standard with a bed that measures 6.5 feet long, and the bed is made with aluminum-reinforced composite. The Tundra has an LED Trailer Reverse Assist light as well as an LED center stop light with integrated cargo lights.
Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5
Pre-Collision System
This program includes Pedestrian Detection capabilities. The Pre-Collision System can detect anything from other vehicles to people on foot and will alert you using audio and visuals. If you’re on a path to a potential collision, the system can apply the brakes on its own.
Lane Departure Alert
Your Tundra’s onboard sensors will watch the painted lines on the road and alert you audibly and visually if your tire crosses over the line unintentionally. The Tundra’s version of this system has an additional Steering Assist that allows the Tundra to steer you away from crossing over the line.
Automatic High Beams
A sensor on your Tundra’s windshield watches for the headlights of oncoming traffic or the taillights of traffic ahead of you. If it senses anyone else on the road, it will automatically dim the high beams. When the sensor sees no other traffic, the high beams will automatically come back on.
The Tundra’s unique blend of style, power, and durability is what makes it stand apart from the full-sized pickup truck crowd. If you’re interested in seeing the 2023 Tundra in person, visit us today here at Toyota South for a test drive.
