A First Look at the 2024 Toyota Tundra

In the world of full-sized pickups, Toyota’s Tundra has earned legendary status thanks to its unbeatable reliability, strong performance, and practical interior. At their local Toyota dealership, buyers will be wowed by its advanced technology and a long list of creature comforts. Here’s your quick guide to the 2024 Toyota Tundra!

Engines and Transmission

The Tundra offers three flavors of its twin-turbocharged 3.4L i-Force V6 engine. While the SR model gets a 358-horsepower engine, other trims have been fitted with a 389-horsepower version of the engine that also increases torque from 406 lb-ft to 479 lb-ft. The most powerful motor is the available i-Force Max, a hybrid power plant that puts out a whopping 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque.

All options will be mated to a lightning-quick 10-speed automatic transmission that boasts precise gearshifts, manual sequential shifting, and uphill/downhill shift logic.

Off-Road Capability

Every Tundra is available with Toyota’s dependable 4WDemand four-wheel drive system, complemented by an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case and an automatic limited-slip differential. Adding a locking rear differential further enhances traction. The four-wheel drive system can even be optimized for specific environments with its optional Multi-Terrain Select system and its mud, rock, sand, and mogul modes.

When fitted with the Adaptive Variable Suspension, the Tundra continually adjusts its dampers to ensure confident handling and a smooth riding experience while navigating through rough terrain.

Towing and Hauling

The Tundra’s sturdy construction and plentiful torque allow it to tow a maximum of 12,000 pounds. Payload capacity is impressive, as well, at up to 1,940 pounds. The bed itself is reinforced with a combination of aluminum and a high-strength, sheet-molded composite material, resulting in an incredible resistance to impacts. There are two available tow/haul modes, so you’ll enjoy easy handling, whether you’re pulling a small boat or a large camper.

An available deck rail system provides a variety of ways to secure your cargo, and it can accommodate everything from camping equipment to ATVs.

Interior

In its Double Cab form, the Tundra seats five people and has longer bed lengths at 6.5 feet and 8.1 feet. Featuring a 5.5-foot-long bed, the CrewMax is ideal for families with its generous legroom of 41.6 inches. The attractive interior features a streamlined look with very user-friendly controls and lots of storage compartments and cubbies. Available wood trim and genuine leather upholstery make the cabin extra inviting.

Other premium options include heated and ventilated seats, a 10-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support, and a 10-inch heads-up display. As for infotainment, you’ll be able to choose between an 8- or 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, mobile Wi-Fi support, and SiriusXM satellite radio compatibility.

Incorporating years of refinement, Toyota’s Tundra continues to hold its place as one of the top pickup trucks on the market. Contact Toyota of Kingsport today and schedule your test drive!
