By its mere appearance alone, the 2015 Toyota Tundra exudes that sturdy, tough and thunderous aura that no other vehicle in the Japanese carmaker’s automotive lines can match.
It looks ferocious and intimidating in the positive sense, that is. It’s also big and strong and it’s one of the toughest project vehicles in the market today.
The 2015 Tundra draws its superb strength from its 5.7-liter iForce V8 engine, the most powerful engine for non-truck vehicles available today. The engine is capable of exuding 381 horsepower at 5,600 revolutions per minute.
It also comes with an option for the smaller 4.6-liter iForce V8 engine. But it is still a V8 engine so it packs superb power.
Remarkable towing capacity
With its power, the 2015 Tundra can actually tow or haul a cargo trailer that weighs as much as 4,760 kilograms or 10,000 pounds which is more than three times its own weight.
The 2015 Tundra was built to tow and haul. Aside from its extremely remarkable towing power, it has a tow and haul mode option, a towing hitch receiver, and trailer sway control.
As a project vehicle, the Tundra is also an off-road monster so it can take on any of the most uneven road surfaces or terrain as good as it can tow or haul a heavy load.
The 2015 Tundra was styled in California and Michigan, it was engineered and built in Michigan with the North American consumers foremost in Toyota’s mind because of the kind of terrain that the continent has.
The Tundra comes in several variants distinguished mainly by whether it runs on front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, or whether it has the 4.6-liter or 5.7-liter V8 engine under its hood, or whether it’s a regular cab, a double cab, or the premium crew cab which Toyota refers to as CrewMax.
The most high-end of the models is the 5.7-liter 1794 Edition which is retailed from $45,000 and up.
