Toyota Tundra – Toyota recently announced that its medium sized pickup truck the Tundra will now go on sale after a successful trial period.
The first model, the Limited will be available from November 2024 with a premium version available mid-2025.
The Tundra joins the RAM 1500, Chevrolet Silverado and Ford F150 as the local market embraces the larger American Pickup style Utes.
Walkinshaw Automotive Group is the specialist doing the conversion. They also do a number of other local conversion vehicles. Its not just a swap from left to right hand drive, more a complete reengineering process.
Both versions sit on the same platform that underpins the LC 300 series. The Tundra’s engine is a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 i-FORCE MAX powertrain. This generates 326kW of power and 790Nm of torque and drives through a 10-speed automatic transmission.
A part-time 4WD system with a dual-range transfer case drives the Tundra and it and offers a huge 4.5-tonne braked towing capacity1.
Like all the medium sized Pickup trucks the Tundra will bring both space and luxury to buyers.
Regular listeners will know that I am a huge fan of these trucks and I’m looking forward to spending a lot of time in the Tundra
