As part of the Chicago Auto Show in 2013, the updated Toyota Tundra pickup was presented to the eyes of motorists. Despite the fact that the roots of the car are in Japan, it is more correct to call it American, since the purpose of creation is to conquer the North American market, and therefore it is produced exclusively in the United States at the Toyota plant in San Antonio. The management of the company chose to make huge changes in updated version, making it look like its popular competitor in America, the Ford F-150. If appearance Japanese-American pickup truck is distinguished exclusively by light equipment, the interior has changed entirely.
car exterior

In addition, the rear bumper began to consist of three parts, which is more convenient and cheaper in case of repair after an accident.
The new Toyota Tundra pickup was not left without accessories and additional equipment from the outside. This is expressed in the following components: a step for convenience when climbing into the back of a pickup truck, towing device, side steps, various fastenings for fixing loads, nozzles exhaust pipes, engine protection and individual elements suspension, hood deflector and side mirrors, protection of the cargo platform.
Basically, general impression about the Tundra is very pleasant, its appearance has become lighter and haughty relative to its predecessor.
car interior

Pleasant changes await admirers of this car in the form of high-quality finishing materials and improved ergonomics of the driver's seat.

A contrasting insert on the front panel, high-quality and pleasant to the touch plastic, genuine leather trim - all this is now available in the updated Tundra 2013.

Console contains screen multimedia system, below is the climate control unit (2-zone). Large multifunction steering wheel and gearshift lever has the possibility of telescopic adjustment.
Driver's seat and seat front passenger are electrically adjustable, they are designed for large people, so the Toyota Tundra 2013 diesel is not easy to drive for thin drivers who will have to hold on to the steering wheel so as not to fly out of their seats on sharp turns. Judging by American standards, the seats are as comfortable as possible, but, one way or another, they do not have lateral support for the hips and back. A wide armrest is installed on the side of the front seats.
The second row of seats is no less comfortable, where three passengers can easily fit. Comfort is achieved thanks to the backrest, which is located at an optimal angle, thanks to the long seat cushion, the large distance from the knees to the backs of the first row seats and the low height of the tunnel on the floor. It is worth noting that the task of the seat is folded and allows you to transport cargo that does not fit in the pickup truck cargo platform, which has an area of 3 sq.m.

The front suspension of the Tundra is independent and works on double wishbones with special stabilizers for roll stability. Rear suspension is dependent with springs. As manufacturers say, the chassis of the car is completely modernized.

Unfortunately, it is worth noting that the Toyota Tundra diesel was not presented by the manufacturer this year either. However, the President of the Japanese automotive production it was stated that Toyota designers are hard at work on a 4.5-liter diesel engine, which would significantly save fuel for pickups. The president still does not report other technical characteristics of the Toyota Tundra diesel, and if you call a spade a spade, then production is currently diesel Toyota Tundra is likely to be delayed again indefinitely.

Expansion of Japanese companies American market in the segment cars began in the 1980s. Local producers had to seriously make room and give up many positions. History repeated itself again when, fifteen years ago, Toyota began developing a full-size pickup truck, intending to once again snatch some of their income from GMC, Chevrolet and Dodge.
The concept, which served as the prototype of the Toyota Tundra car, which had fairly high technical characteristics, was presented in 1999 at the Chicago Auto Show under the name T150. The car immediately made an impression on specialists and, importantly, on the American consumer who likes big and powerful pickups. As a result, on the basis of the concept, a serial model was created, which received the name Tundra.
The company received a fairly large number of orders for the delivery of a pickup truck and invested almost $ 1.2 billion in the construction of a plant in Indiana in Princeton. The estimated capacity of the new enterprise was about 100 thousand cars per year, which at that time was about 6% of the total sales. The project turned out to be quite successful, and the spoiled American consumer liked the car.
The history of the creation and development of Toyota Tundra
The T150 platform was designed specifically to replace the not-too-midsize T100. Insufficient engine power was one of the reasons for the failure of the model, the error was taken into account when developing the Toyota Tundra.
Japanese engineers have equipped the new car with six- and eight-cylinder engines that meet the stringent requirements of California's ULEV standard in terms of environmental performance.
Especially for the American market, the car was equipped exclusively. This transmission is the most popular among American drivers - up to 80% of the total number of cars sold in the United States has an automatic transmission. The company's management took this fact into account when designing a pickup truck.
Over its fifteen-year history, three generations of the Toyota Tundra pickup truck have been released, the update took place in accordance with established practice every five to six years. First version 2000 model year was called T150s, the name had to be changed after lawsuit from the Ford company. This version of the pickup was equipped with a body of different types:
- Regular Cab with a two-door cab and one row of seats for the driver and passengers.
- Access Cab equipped with two rows of seats, and the convenience of landing is ensured by the presence of 4 doors.
- double cab has a similar body structure previous model with extended cab.
The first modification took place in 2006, and was presented to the general public at the next Chicago Auto Show. The exterior of the car was executed in the spirit of that time. Some parts were borrowed from the Toyota Tacoma SUV and the then promising Toyota FTX concept car. The number of body versions has been increased to five different sizes, respectively, three standard sizes of loading platforms were developed for them.
The second generation Toyota Tundra was initially equipped with only two eight-cylinder and one six-cylinder gasoline engines. Later, this range was expanded and diesel was added to them.
In addition, active work was carried out on a hybrid installation, but the work was suspended, because. there were serious technical difficulties and the company focused on improving the traditional engine.
The last third version of the Toyota Tundra pickup truck was presented in the same place in Chicago, this event took place in 2013. Specialists did a good job not only on the appearance of the car, but also on its equipment. The car is delivered to the showrooms of dealers in several variants, which are different combinations of three types of cabs, four engines and two gearboxes.
The tasks set to conquer the American market in the segment of full-size pickups were successfully completed. In 2010, Toyota Tundra sales exceeded 10% of the total, and the car was recognized as the best-selling truck in its class.
Specifications Toyota Tundra
American automotive giants hold the pickup market segment due to a wide variety of configurations and engines. The consumer is offered both the simplest working versions and luxurious luxury options.

When driving off-road, the driver may not be afraid that the car will hook the ground with a bumper when forcing a ditch or sit on its belly on a roll. A practical pickup truck for Russian and American country roads is the best fit.
The car was developed specifically for the American market, hence the large selection of powertrains and gearboxes. Pickups are equipped with powerful eight- and six-cylinder engines with large working volume.
There are four options in total and for convenience, the data on them are summarized in the table:
| Engine | 3.4V6 | 4.0 V6 | 4.7 V8 | 5.7 V8 |
| Working volume | 3378 | 3956 | 4664 | 5663 |

The Chicago International Auto Show, which took place in February 2006, became the site of the official premiere of the next, second generation large Toyota Tundra pickup truck. Compared to its predecessor, the car has changed beyond recognition - it has become more beautiful externally, better inside and more modern in technical terms.
After its entry into the market, the Japanese-American “truck” has been regularly improved, but the most notable portion of updates was separated from it in 2013 - a restyled version appeared before the public in February at the Chicago Auto Show. Moreover, they did a good job on the pickup truck - they refreshed the exterior, made the interior more modern, finalized the engines and expanded the list of available equipment.
The second-generation Toyota Tundra demonstrates an aggressive, rebellious and very modern design, which is supported by impressive overall dimensions. The “front” part looks most advantageous, exposing a huge trapezoidal grille shield, a massive hood, a powerful bumper and fairly compact headlights with LED “garlands” of running lights.
But from other angles, a pickup truck is perceived by a typical American - massive and rough forms with embossed sides, large strokes of rounded-square wheel arches, vertical lights and a strong rear bumper.
The "second" Toyota Tundra is available in three versions - Regular Cab with a two-door cab, Double Cab with a four-door cab and Crew Max with an enlarged cab. The first two solutions can also have both a standard and an extended loading platform.
The overall length of the car is 5239-6289 mm, height - 1920-1941 mm, distance between axles - 3220-4180 mm. The width and ground clearance are identical for all versions - 2029 mm and 260 mm, respectively.

That's just in basic configurations the interior becomes more archaic. The interior of the "truck" is made of high-quality materials - high-quality plastics, a large amount of genuine leather, wood and "metal-like" inserts.
The front riders are in charge of wide and soft seats, practically devoid of lateral support, which, even with their appearance, set them up for a measured ride. It's wrong to complain and rear passengers(in four-door versions) - they are separated not only by a comfortable sofa, but also by a huge supply of space on all fronts.
One of advantages of Toyota Tundra of the second generation is a capacious onboard platform, the length of which varies from 1680 to 2470 mm, and the width and depth are respectively 1690 mm and 500 mm. On board the car is able to take from 725 to 950 kg of cargo, depending on the modification.
Specifications. Three gasoline power units have been prepared for the Tundra, combined with two gearbox options and two types of drive:
- Basic pickups are equipped with a 4.0-liter V-shaped six-cylinder “aspirated” equipped with port injection, which generates 270 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 376 Nm of peak thrust at 4400 rpm.
In partnership with him, an exclusively 5-speed "automatic" is working, directing the potential to the wheels rear axle. Passport expense fuel for this option is 13.4-13.8 liters per "hundred" in combined driving conditions. - Intermediate Toyota versions The Tundra flaunts a 4.6-liter V8 engine with a distributed power system, producing 310 horsepower at 6400 rpm and 460 Nm of torque at 3400 rpm.
Rear or all-wheel drive is reserved for it, and a 6-band is responsible for delivering traction to the wheels. automatic transmission. Such a pickup truck "eats" on average 14.7 liters of fuel in mixed mode. - The most "formidable" option is a 5.7-liter V-shaped "eight" with a multi-point supply of gasoline, whose maximum potential is 381 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 401 Nm at 3600 rpm.
It is combined with a six-speed automatic, as well as reverse or all-wheel drive, resulting in 15.7 liters of fuel for every 100 kilometers in the combined cycle.
The all-wheel drive transmission on the Tundra of the second generation is organized according to the classic “Part-time” scheme, where the front wheels are connected after turning the washer on the central panel. The car is equipped with a reduction gear, and in the rear axle it has a limited slip differential with Active function Trac, which is controlled by electronics.
At the heart of the Toyota Tundra is a powerful spar-type frame, on which the power unit is placed longitudinally, as well as the cabin and body are “hung”.
The suspension of the car is traditional for the class: an independent architecture with double wishbones, anti-roll bars and springs at the front and a dependent scheme with leaf springs with a sprung rear.
The steering system of the Japanese-American "truck" is presented rack and pinion mechanism, in which the hydraulic booster is integrated.
On all wheels are placed braking devices with four-piston calipers and discs, standard with ABS with EBD and Brake Assist.
