2007 Toyota Tundra 4x4 SR5 Double Cab 5.7L V8 Review - Autochannel (press release)
2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4X4 SR5 DOUBLE CAB 5. 7L V8. As American as Pineapple Pie. As Toyota spars with GM over being the world’s largest automaker they must compete head-to-head in the full-size pickup market against the icons of the segment, Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado and Dodge Ram. And where work trucks dominate so will the dressed up versions sold in big numbers to work-truck-wanabes. This is the second generation Tundra pickup. The first generation was fine for getting Toyota’s feet wet in this most American of vehicle segments. This new Tundra, larger and stronger in every dimension and measurement, makes the statement that they are ready to match specs and performance with any other full-size, regular-duty pickup. And, because it is such a classically American genre, Toyota is doing everything possible to downplay the Japanese connection. Tundra is built in both the brand new Texas factory and in the existing Indiana truck plant. And let’s not forget the NASCAR connection where Toyota can get out front with women buyers as well. We would have to admit Tundra looks like a good, tough competitive truck. From the massive, taunting front end to the bulging rear flanks the Tundra has a don’t-mess-with-me look.
