REVIEW: 2015 Toyota Tundra CrewMax 4×4 jumps off the line with abundant power ... - Equipment World Magazine
It’s one of the fastest half-ton pickups on the road in 2015 with one of, if not the biggest cabs. Toyota’s Tundra CrewMax is all about legroom, with nearly 8 inches more space between the front and rear seat than the standard Double Cab model. Flip up the rear split-bench seat and that added front-to-rear space opens nicely to provide a lot of cargo space, too. That’s one of the attractions owners of first- and second-generation Tundras discover when stepping in to the new CrewMax. The trade-off for the added legroom, however, is Toyota only offers the CrewMax with a 5-foot, 6-inch bed. From a power perspective, the 2014 Tundra’s 381 horsepower 5. 7-liter i-FORCE V8 and six-speed automatic will out run all of the competitors’ small-block V8s I’ve tested to date with 0-60 miles per hour times in the low 7s and quarter-mile speeds... That smooth, steady power also shows up when towing, as I felt first-hand towing a 23-foot, 5,600-pound Salem travel trailer. I observed 18. 3 mpg during a 180-mile interstate cruise at 65mph, high 13s in stop-and-go city driving, and mpg in the low 11 range while towing a mid-weight travel or utility trailer.
