Toyota has added 13 new models to the 2008 Tundra full-size pickup truck lineup, and has also enhanced standard equipment levels. The 2008 Tundra now offers a choice of 44 models in three cab styles.
The biggest change for the 2008 Tundra is the increased availability of the two most popular cab styles - Double Cab and CrewMax - with the "Tundra grade" formerly offered only in Regular Cab models. Previously, these four-door models were available only in the intermediate SR5 and top-line Limited grades. The new Tundra grade, positioned just below the SR5, is equipped with all of the key standard features. Toyota is bolstering the value of the Tundra SR5 grade Double Cab and CrewMax by increasing standard equipment. For 2008, these models include the previously optional power bucket front seats, AM/FM stereo with 6-disc CD changer, cold kit, heated mirrors, and mud guards as standard at no cost. The 2008 Tundra is available with 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains and offers three cab styles, three wheelbases, three bed lengths, three engines, and three trim levels. Tundra backs up its tough-truck styling with the performance of an available 381-horsepower 5.7-litre i-Force V8 engine teamed to a six-speed automatic transmission. In Tundra Regular and Double Cab models, a standard 4.0-litre V6 produces 236 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 266 foot-pounds of peak torque at 4,000 rpm. The mid-grade option for these models - and standard for the Crew-Max models - is Toyota's 4.7-litre i-Force V8 producing 276 horsepower at 5,400 rpm and 313 foot-pounds of peak torque at 3,400 rpm.
