This is the top model in the range and comes with a host of external styling features as well as internal comfort upgrades.

Apart from some bling the main exterior difference from the Limited is the 20 inch alloy wheels and tyres. These look great, if not that practical for off road work.

Inside its like sitting in your loungeroom. Front seats are incredibly comfortable with

• highlight stitching, heating and ventilation,
• massage function,
• multiple electronic adjustments
• as well as 4 way lumbar support.

With electronic steering wheel adjustment finding the perfect driving position is easy.

Rear seats are designed for someone like me – larger than the average bear to sit in space and comfort. In fact, you can easily fit three of me across.

Powered by a 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6  petrol  Hybrid engine that provides a handy combined output of 326kW of power and 790Nm of torque. This drive through a 10-speed sports automatic transmission and part time 4WD. It’s rated to tow 4500kg and does with ease.

Driving the Tundra around town is simple, but it does feel big in tight carparks. On the motorway it cruises effortlessly. On dirt roads and the beach, it performs without fuss.

Pricing for the Tundra Platinum is from around $173,000 plus the usual costs and that’s expensive.

Toyota has come late to the party with the Tundra but there are two models available. The Limited and the Platinum.

First impressions is that the Tundra has a subtle sleek design. It doesn’t look as big as it is. Lots of people walking past gave me the thumbs up for the styling.

Inside it has all the space you expect from this size pickup.

Bit there is something different about it. It immediately feels familiar, and it just fits right. Like a favourite pair of jeans. The front seats are especially comfortable and have perhaps the best seat heaters available.

The central screen is large and has excellent resolution. There are a couple of things that carry over from the LD to RHD conversion. The central locking works on the passenger door, the A/C syncs from the left-hand control and Apple CarPlay controls are on the far-left side of the screen.

It obviously has plenty of performance from its 3.5L V6 Twin Turbo hybrid petrol engine. But again, the smoothness in delivery feels different. It also has better ride and handling than I expected.

So overall I’ve become a big fan of the Tundra. Priced from $155.900 plus the usual costs it is expensive though.
