Toyota Tundra CrewMax Platinum is comfortable and quiet - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Toyota has one, the Tundra CrewMax. Consider the Tundra Platinum version. One model-year back the Toyota designers beefed up the hood and grille on Tundra to prove it was manly enough to challenge the big boys. That's 26 more than Chevy Silverado's plenty strong 5. 3-liter V8. Tundra's torque rating is 401 and uses a 6-speed automatic to put that power in action. Tundra CrewMax is such a behemoth that it needs that more powerful engine. Tundra's gas mileage is poor, and Toyota is overdue for some new high-efficiency truck engines. Tundra rides on a 2-inch-longer wheelbase than the Chevy and has 10. 4 inches of ground clearance, nearly 2 more than Silverado. Tundra comes in a variety of sizes and configurations. There's a double-cab model and a standard cab and both 2- and 4-wheel-drive models. A base Tundra starts about $30,000 now and features a 4. 6-liter V8 that creates 310 horsepower. Toyota has dropped its V6 engine from Tundra. Tundra is intended as a work truck, when not in Platinum and other higher trim levels. Source: www.jsonline.com
