2010 toyota tundra review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. The real deal in a full-size pickup. introductionthe toyota tundra is a serious full-size pickup, whether measured by dimensions, hauling capacity or towing capacity. The 2010 tundra models feature a new grille design and redesigned taillights. Also new for 2010 is the availability of a smaller, more fuel-efficient v8. Refinements for 2010, including adjustable headlights, improve on an excellent truck. we've found the tundra to be a stable, comfortable truck for towing a 20-foot enclosed car trailer over long distances. Seating is available for two, three, five or six. Three bed lengths and three wheelbases are available. trim levels range from basic tundra grade to luxurious limited models with leather upholstery, and from the lowest end to the highest is a price differential of around 2:1. High-end models are available with gps navigation and a rearview camera, or a rear-seat entertainment with a 9-inch lcd screen. An available deck rail system in the bed anchors moveable tie-down cleats rated at 220 pounds each. for 2010, a new 4. 6-liter dohc v8 engine is available. Rated at 310 horsepower and 327 pound-feet of torque, and with epa fuel-economy ratings of 15/20 mpg city/highway, the 4. 6-liter v8 not only has a lot more power than the v6, but better fuel economy, as well. As with the 5. 7-liter engine, the 4. 6-liter has dual variable valve timing with intelligence (vvt-i), which optimizes valve timing for the best combination of performance, economy and emissions. It is matched with a six-speed automatic transmission. Toyota expects the 4. 6-liter v8 to offer the best combination of power and fuel economy of any standard v8 in the full-size truck segment. the 5. 7-liter v8 engine carries over. With 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission, tundra boasts one of the strongest, most responsive powertrains in the class. The dohc 5. 7-liter is an excellent choice for towing trailers, and has entirely reasonable epa fuel-economy ratings of 14/18 mpg city/highway. a 4. 0-liter v6 engine, with 236 horsepower and epa ratings of 15/19 mpg city/highway, is the entry-level low-cost choice. The platinum package will be available on crewmax limited models with the 5. 7-liter v8 and flex fuel powertrains. On the outside, the platinum package includes a billet-style grille, chrome bumpers, unique 20-inch alloy wheels and tires, daytime running lamps, door-sill protectors with a platinum logo, and platinum badging. Inside, it includes a power memory function on the driver's seat, outside power mirrors and puddle lamps, and a power tilt-telescoping steering wheel. It will have black bumpers and grille surround and power mirrors will be replaced by manually controlled outside mirrors. Inside will be washable vinyl seats and rubber floors, and several trim and convenience items have been deleted, including cruise control and remote keyless entry, and gauges will be replaced by warning lamps. All 2010 tundra models will have driver and front-passenger knee airbags as standard equipment. Also new for 2010: height-adjustable headlamps, which addresses a gripe we had with previous models. Previous models did not allow any aiming of the headlights, posing a problem when towing a trailer or hauling a heavy load. A shelf to help organize storage space has been added to the lower glovebox, and a new seven-pin hitch connector sits above the hitch to help avoid damage when going over dips and bumps. Among the highlights: the base tundra regular cab 4x2 23,155) is powered by the 4. 0-liter v6 with a five-speed automatic transmission and the 6 1/2-foot standard-length bed. The eight-foot bed is optional. The regular cab is the workhorse edition tundra, with a fabric-upholstered, 40/20/40-split bench seat, vinyl floor covering, column shift and manual-crank windows. The standard wheels are 18-inch steel. the double cab tundra grade 4x2 25,495) comes with the 4. 0-liter v6 and standard bed. The tundra double cab features rear side doors like on an suv, and seats for as many as six. The 4. 6-liter v8, 5. 7-liter v8, and long bed are optional on double cab models. The tundra grade equipment basically matches the regular cab, adding carpet in place of the vinyl flooring, a tachometer and outside temperature indicator. Both come standard with the 4. 6-liter v8; the 5. 7-liter v8 is optional. Standard equipment includes heated, leather-trimmed front buckets, jbl audio with 12 speakers, sliding rear glass, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass and programmable garage-door opener and front and rear park-assist. the crewmax tundra grade 28,465) and 4x4 31,515) feature full-size rear side doors and more rear-cab space, with a sliding, fold-flat rear bench seat. They come standard with the 4. 6-liter v8, but are offered only with a 5. 5-foot short bed. The 5. 7-liter v8 and six-speed automatic are optional. A crewmax sr5 4x2 29,265) and 4x4 32,470), and crewmax limited 4x2 37,809) and 4x4 40,855) are also available. Standard equipment on each trim level basically matches that on the double cab models, though the crewmax adds an overhead console and a vertical sliding power rear window. options include navigation system with back-up camera, rear-seat dvd player, cold-weather features, off-road packages, and 20-inch aluminum wheels. There are few factory-installed stand-alone options, but dozens of dealer-installed accessories, such as bed liners. trd's rock warrior package adds color-keyed body trim on the front and a flat-black bumper on the back, fog lamps, black cloth manual seats, bilstein shock absorbers, and 17-inch forged aluminum wheels with bfgoodrich all-terrains for traction, ride and rim protection. The first iteration, called t100, was about the size of a dodge dakota, and it taught toyota that in america a larger truck needs a v8 engine. The second generation, and the first with the tundra badge, taught toyota that 7/8 is not full-size. The current generation, launched as a 2007 model, shows that toyota has learned those lessons well. the tundra is big and burly by design. To that end, it abandons the high-stepping, nose-in-the-air look of tundras built before 2007 in favor of a more down-to-earth bu.
