The Toyota Tundra Can Answer Your Big-rig Pickup Needs
Following its debut almost a decade ago the Toyota Tundra found an audience with primarily recreational pickup owners, people looking for a utility vehicle for the occasional job, but not for heavy duty use. Toyota hopes to gain the allegiance of more demanding pickup truck drivers with the Tundra’s 2010 updates.
Schaumburg Tundra dealers are pleased with Toyota’s recent upgrades for the big-rig truck. The Tundra’s standard easy maneuverability, surprisingly quiet ride and roomy cargo bed are still present but the added features, commanding styling updates and more fuel efficient motor ensure that the Tundra can answer all your big-rig pickup needs.
Schaumburg Tundra sales have suffered in the past due to the vehicle’s low fuel economy and soaring gas prices. However, the Japanese auto company is working to remedy this and has outfitted the Toyota Tundra with a smaller more efficient motor.
The truck’s new base engine model is a 310 horsepower 4.6 liter V-8 that gives the big-rig more power while reducing fuel consumption. The Tundra is also available in a top of the line 380 horsepower 5.7 liter V-8 engine. Both models run on a 6 speed automatic transmission.
With its new engine the 2010 Tundra achieves a more respectable fuel economy of 19-20 mpg on the highway and 14-15 mpg for city driving.
The Tundra is available in several trim levels, all of which sport styling upgrades including new grills. The base edition grill now sports horizontal venting, adding the truck’s imposing big-rig feel. The high-end Limited edition Tundra now features a bold chrome grill to accent its strong frame.
The storage space you will find in the new Tundra is enough to make even a Schaumburg Corolla driver jealous. The surprisingly roomy cabins even feature a bi-level glove box with improved content organization on the lower level and a deep center consol that can easily fit a laptop.
The Tundra continues to be available in three cabin options. Buyers have a choice of the Regular cab, extended-length Double Cab or a four door CrewMax cabin style, all of which have the option of four-wheel drive. The pickup has multiple length options for the truck bed depending upon your cabin choice. The many possible configurations add to the Tundra’s appeal as they allow drivers to really customize the truck to their needs.
Whatever your pickup truck needs, Schaumburg Toyota Corolla and Tundra dealer is sure to meet them with this impressive machine.
