Toyota Tundra 2014

The Japanese auto giant Toyota introduced its new full-size pickup truck

Tundra 2014 during the Chicago Auto Show.

This model is postitioned as a purely american vehicle for the North American automotive market.

The Tundra redesign is the first for the truck since 2007, and Toyota has made some changes to the exterior but saved the biggest for the interior.

Toyota designed the front end of the Tundra “with a higher hood line that is integrated into the grille for a chiseled and modern industrial image.”

Based on consumer response, Toyota redesigned the front lower bumper and the rear bumper, configuring it into three pieces to make it easier to replace

parts while reducing repair costs.

The 2014 Toyota Tundra will be offered in five grades, SR (starting at $25,920), SR5 ($29,465), Limited ($36,940) and the premium Platinum and 1794 Edition (both priced at $44,270). All 2014 Tundras will come with a standard back-up

camera, and the premium grades include a JBL audio system and Entune, navigation and Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

With all the talk about redesigns, Toyota left their engine options virtually unchanged. Regular Cab and Double Cab options come standard with a 4.0-

liter Dual Overhead Cam, or DOHC, V6 engine, 270 horsepower and 278 lb.-ft. peak torque, and a five-speed automatic transmission.

The changes to the interior enhance the overall experience of driving a full-size pickup truck. Toyota shifted the central display closer to the driver while

the front seats have increased ventilation. There are also several enhancements made to the interior that vary with the grade.

The SR5 will feature metal accents and contrasting fabrics whereas the Limited will feature leather trim and wood-style accents throughout the

interior. For the two premium grades, Platinum will feature perforated black leather seats, leather panel inserts throughout the console and chrome

accents.
