TOYOTA TUNDRA ACCESSORIES
Ever since its debut in 2000, the Toyota Tundra has been a full-size success. Originally designated as the T150, the company later changed the name to avoid any confusion with Ford's F-150. What separates the Tundra from other imported pickups is the truck's domestic touch. It is bolder and more powerful than previous foreign attempts in the segment, giving it more in common with traditional American nameplates such as Ford and Chevy. The first generation Tundra started off powered by a 3.4L V6 engine, but a 4.7L V8 was later introduced, marking the first time a Toyota truck would be offered with a V8 engine. Right from the start, the Toyota Tundra was a hit. It held the record for highest initial sales for Toyota and also took home Motor Trend's Truck of the Year. Toyota needed a truck that could compete with the big boys and the Tundra delivered an immediate impact the entire industry took notice of.
The Tundra would see a supercharger become available courtesy of Toyota Racing Development, upping the previous horsepower of the V6 to 260 HP and the V8 in the mid 300s. In 2003, the Tundra's cab and grille were updated. A year later, the bed was extended and proved to be longer than the Nissan Titan or Ford's venerable 1-50. A Double Cab model with four doors was also offered and the interior and exterior saw detailing. Both engine options were upgraded come 2005, with a 4.0L V6 replacing the original 3.4L engine and the V8 being scrapped in favor of a VVT-I variable valve timing engine capable of 271 HP. Transmissions included a 6-speed manual as well as 5-speed automatic. These updates helped the Tundra stay relevant in a highly competitive field, as the Tundra still was not known for the towing capacity of its domestic counterparts. The Darrel Waltrip Edition was introduced in 2006 in recognition of the NASCAR driver's run in the Truck Series. This version of the Tundra was a Double Cab V8 powered model with 18 inch wheels and unique exterior badging.
Showcasing flared-out fenders and a slightly larger overall build, the 2007 Toyota Tundra arrived new and improved. Many different choices were available, including three bed lengths, four wheelbases, two transmissions, and three cab options. The engines available are 5.7L V8, 4.7L V8, and a 4.0L V6. Toyota also began to move more towards the industrial demographic, as the Tundra now sports larger door handles and a deck rail system. Standard features such as Vehicle Stability Control, traction control, brake assist, and electronic brake distribution are other upgrades that have received a fair amount of attention. Not surprisingly, the Toyota Tundra has been a strong seller. Since 2000, the model has averaged over 120,000 units sold per year with 2007 coming in at an impressive 196,555. Even in a fuel-conscious market, the Toyota Tundra has managed to stay towards the top of the full-size segment.
