Tundra Update from Richardson Toyota Research
We'll start our 2015 Toyota Tundra review with a question: With Toyota's reputation for quality and Tundra's excellent resale value, why would any Texan opt for a truck made in Detroit? The Tundra is made right here in Texas.
Have a look at theļæ½2015 Toyota Tundra in Richardson. This handsome full-size pickup has big beefy styling and aļæ½large bright grille. But Texans know beauty is only skin deep. That's why there is plenty of muscle rippling beneath the Tundra's shiny skin. Choose from a 310 horsepower 4.6-liter V-8 or the 5.7-liter V-8, good for 381 horsepower with 401 pound-feet of torque. Properly outfitted, the Tundra can tow up to 10,400 pounds. If that's not enough to make the boys in Detroit bite their manicured fingernails, a new TRD Pro Series version of the Tundra is now available with upgrades to the suspension, exhaust, wheels and tires to create the supreme off-roader.
The Tundra offers comfortable roomy seats, a quiet cabin and a refined ride. The center console storage area has ample space for file folders or a laptop. The base SR package includes truck basics like air conditioning and an AM/FM/CD stereo system, but also comes standard with Entune Audio Multimedia Bundle with a 6.1-inch touchscreen display, USB and iPod connectivity; Bluetooth and even some voice recognition functions. Standard safety gear includes eight airbags; vehicle stability control and traction control; anti-lock brakes; electronic brake-force distribution; brake assist; and Smart Stop brake-override technology.
In short, when you look at the 2015 Toyota Tundra in Richardson, you are looking at a real truck. It is not a limousine trapped in a truck's body. The Tundra is built like a truck and works like a truck. That also means it was designed for people who actually use trucks. We are fond of the lockable tailgate that automatically lowers slowly to prevent tailgate slam, and the 3-piece design for its front and rear bumpers that makes replacement easier and less expensive. Looks like Texans build trucks that make sense. How do you like that, Detroit? Learn more as our 2015 Toyota Tundra review continues below.
