THE “MOST
DEPENDABLE
LARGE PICKUP”
–FIVE YEARS
1
IN A ROW.
Every year, J.D. Power and Associates1 conducts a proprietary Vehicle
Dependability Study that asks owners of three-year-old full-size pickups
about the problems they’ve experienced in the past 12 months. And for
the fi fth year in a row, the truck receiving the lowest number of reported
problems is Toyota Tundra.
That kind of built-to-last strength, toughness and reliability has always been at
the core of Toyota truck engineering. So when there’s work to be done, Tundra
owners know they can load it up, hitch it on and get moving. Tundra’s available
5.7L V8 puts out 381 hp and 401 lb.-ft. of torque, enough brute force for a
towing capacity of up to 10,400 lb.
327 lb.-ft. of torque, yet has an EPA-estimated rating of 20 mpg highway.
our new 4.0L V6 engine gives you hardworking power plus remarkable mpg.
But what makes the full-size Tundra truly remarkable is this: With its proven
capabilities, it’s earned a place in the conversation about how to build a
stronger, tougher, smarter pickup. And along the way, it’s changed the status
quo among 1/2-ton pickups. Now, that’s pretty powerful.

POWER
DOING THE JOB RIGHT REQUIRES
THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB.
Pickup owners don’t all demand the same thing from their trucks. Which is why Tundra o ers a choice of
engines, including a 5.7L V8. With an output of 381 hp and 401 lb.-ft. of torque, our V8 brings some serious
muscle to the task – whether that means hauling, towing or simply heading home. And with CrewMax,
you get Tundra’s towing1 and payload2 capabilities with space enough for a crew of six.

THREE ENGINES. ONE DEFINING
FEATURE: TORQUE.
Along with our 5.7L i-FORCE V8 and 4.6L engines, our new 4.0L V6 knows what you want from a truck
motor: torque. Check out the charts for each of the three Tundra engines and you’ll see the torque
response is on tap across a wide range of rpm. One reason? An Acoustic Control Induction System
(ACIS) that optimizes the engine’s response whether you’re accelerating from a stoplight with a trailer
in tow or just in need of some extra punch at higher rpm.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD
The available 5.7L i-FORCE V8
features an exhaust system with
a pair of 4 into 2 into 1 tubular
headers. This design helps the
exhaust fl ow more freely, reducing
back pressure and enhancing
mid-range torque. Made from
stainless steel, the design is also
lighter and more corrosion-resistant
than cast-iron manifolds.
4.6L V8
With 310 hp and 327 lb.-ft. of torque,
our compact 4.6L V8 gives you some
serious power per liter. After all, it
pays to be as effi cient as possible.
THE EFFICIENCY OF DUAL INDEPENDENT VVT-i
To optimize the engine’s volumetric effi ciency,
VVT-i knows precisely how long to leave the valves
open so that the engine pumps as much air as
possible. It’s one reason the power band is so wide.
4.0L V6
Tundra’s new, all-aluminum 4.0L V6
engine is a modern powerplant. Its
24 valves are actuated by Double
Overhead Cams (DOHC) and
controlled by Dual Independent
Variable Valve Timing with
intelligence (VVT-i). The result
is a technologically advanced
engine with an old-fashioned work
ethic: Its peak power output is
270 hp at 5600 rpm and 278 lb.-ft.
of torque at just 4400 rpm.
TOWING
CAPABLE OF TOWING 10,000 LB.1
YEAH, AS IN FIVE TONS.
Tundra o ers select models capable of towing at least fi ve tons, including the 4x2 Regular Cab Long Bed with
an available 5.7L V8 that has a standard towing capacity of 10,400 lb.1 Examine it closely and you’ll see Tundra’s
towing capacity is not just a paper promise. It’s yours to use — confi dently, easily and over the long haul.

TOW/HAUL MODE
Included with the available Tow Package, TOW/HAUL mode on either Tundra 6-speed
automatic transmission lets the driver choose a different shift logic to help improve towing
performance. When engaged, TOW/HAUL shifts the transmission into lower gears and
holds the gear during acceleration and deceleration so the transmission doesn’t “hunt”
or awkwardly shift between gears, especially on mountain roads while towing or hauling a
heavy load. Acceleration, downhill engine braking, pulling power and cruising comfort are
also enhanced.

See footnote 24 in Disclaimers section.
TOWING
TECHNICALLY, IT’S A 1/2-TON. BUT
THERE’S MORE TO IT THAN THAT
.
Tundra’s available 10,400-lb. towing capability1 is impressive for a 1/2-ton pickup. And it’s strength backed
by a frame design we call TripleTech.™ Where others might use a single type of material for their frame,
Tundra uses a specifi c structure for each of the three frame sections. TripleTech™ is one reason Tundra is
the ideal tow vehicle, with strength and durability built in.
6-SPEED AUTOMATICS
Tundra’s available 6-speed automatics
give it a wide overall gear range. That
translates into a brisk acceleration
at low- and mid-range rpm. And fi rst
gear’s ratio is extremely low — ideal
for serious towing. There’s also no
need to choose from a variety of rear
axles: Tundra’s available 4.300 rear
end2 works seamlessly with the wide
transmission gear range to optimize
performance.
TRANSMISSION COOLING SYSTEM
Our available 5.7L V8/6-speed
automatic transmission powertrain
comes with an Automatic
Transmission Fluid (ATF) Warmer,
improving performance on cold startups. An available Tow Package also
comes with supplemental coolers for
the ATF, the engine oil and the power
steering fl uid. It’s all in an effort to
cut heat buildup caused by added
demands of towing.
DRIVE SHAFT
Regular Cab Long Bed, Double Cab and
CrewMax models use a 2-piece drive
shaft: The front section is steel, the rear
section aluminum. Using aluminum
cuts Tundra’s unsprung weight and
reduces rotational mass for enhanced
acceleration. It also cuts down on noise,
vibration and harshness.
TRAPEZOIDAL FRAME SECTION
When you think of suspension, you
probably think about up-and-down
movement. But our engineers also
thought about lateral stability. The
trapezoidal rear section of Tundra’s
TripleTechTM frame allows the rear
leaf springs to be positioned toe-out,
where the front is mounted farther
out than the rear. The result: The
trapezoidal rear frame section and
the toe-out rear leaf springs help
deliver superior lateral control when
cornering and especially while towing
heavy loads.

TOWING
INTEGRATED HITCH RECEIVER
V8 Tundra models with the
available Tow Package come with
the hitch receiver integrated into
the frame. Attached far down
the frame rails using a dozen
high-strength bolts, the receiver
features a cross member for
increased towing strength.
MASSIVE RING GEAR
If there’s a weak link on most pickup
trucks, chances are it’s the ring gear
in the rear differential. It’s where push
comes to shove, especially under the
stress of repeated heavy payloads and
towing. To handle the massive torque
loads of Tundra’s available 5.7L V8, our
engineers matched it to a massive ring
gear: 10.5 inches.
The Tundra differentials benefi t from
“face hob” gear-cutting of the ring and
pinion gears. Result? A stronger tooth
form that’s able to handle the increased
torque capacity.

PAYLOAD
TRUCKONOMICS 101: BIGGER
PAYLOAD, BIGGER PAYDAY.
Sometimes, getting down to business means getting back to basics. And with Tundra’s Work Truck
Package, you get the essentials of a workhorse, a truck that puts its priorities right in line with your bottom
line. It starts with a regular full-size cab fi tted with heavy-duty vinyl seats and durable rubber-type fl oor
covering. It’s roomy enough for full-size workers. That leaves plenty of room for payload. And at the end
of the day, isn’t that what matters most?

LONG, WIDE AND DEEP
When you put the length, width and
depth together, Tundra gives you big
box capacity. Tundra’s cargo bed is 22.2
inches deep — deep enough for 5-gallon
paint containers to fi t under the rails,
even with a tonneau cover.
DECK RAIL SYSTEM
1
Load up the Tundra’s deep cargo bed and
let the available Deck Rail System help
secure the load. The system is fl exible
enough to secure various types of loads.
CLEATS AND TIE-DOWNS
Connected to the upper rail of the bed,
the system uses four cleats rated at
220 lb. per attachment to help ensure
that what’s in the bed stays in the bed.
2X6 SLOTS
It’s easy to partition the Tundra’s cargo
bed: Take some 2x6 lumber, cut it to
fi t and slide the pieces into the slots
stamped into the sidewalls. You’ve got
a cargo bed organized into three
separate sections.
2X4 SLOTS
Creating a 2-tier bed is easy too, thanks
to sidewall notches for 2x4 supports.
PROTECTION
To help protect the durable fi nish of the
cargo box, Tundra uses a galvannealed
zinc undercoating to help guard against
scratches, dings and dents which may
eventually result in corrosion.
EASY LOWER AND LIFT TAILGATE
Tundra’s tailgate opens easily, and closes
easily. Two fi ngers will do the job, thanks
to a gas-charged damping strut that
helps make sure the tailgate won’t slam
if you drop it.
REMOVABLE AND LOCKABLE GATE
Tundra’s tailgate is easy to remove, so
it’s easy to use ramps for loading heavy
cargo. And the gate is lockable to help
secure cargo concealed under a shell.
