2014 Toyota Tundra - The Third Generation - First Drive - Four Wheeler Magazine
All of this was done in the brand-spankin’-new, third-generation ’14 Toyota Tundra in and around Farmington, Pennsylvania. The trailer towing was done on an airstrip, the driving on local roads, and the off-roading on the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort off-road course. When we were done with the Tundra, it was a muddy mess both inside and out (sorry, Toyota). Our assignment was to evaluate the new Tundra and we spent most of our time in a 5. 7L-powered, four-door, shortbed, CrewMax 4x4 Limited model equipped with the TRD off-road package. Toyota is quick to point out that almost everything you can see on the full-frame truck is new, and the company speaks the truth. Here are the highlights of Toyota’s newest Tundra. Toyota says the goal was to move away from a “rounded, bubbly look,” and aim for a more “chiseled, masculine truck look. ” Toyota knows the new look is “polarizing,” but the company thinks that’s a good place to be. Up front, the hood line has been raised 1. 6 inches, there’s a new upper grille with an “overall aggressive look,” the front bumper is a new three-piece... The new grille has inner crossbars and a grille surround that come in different styles and finishes depending on trim level (see sidebar). Out back, the new cargo bed retains the dimensions of the outgoing Tundra and bed options include long (8-foot, 1-inch), standard (6-foot, 5-inch), and short (5-foot, 5-inch).
