2013 TOYOTA Tundra Regular Cab 4.6L V8 6AT (310 HP) (4×2)

Vehicle Overview

Toyota attacked the American pickup segment with the Tundra model. That half-ton vehicle was meant to climb or to haul, no matter the road ahead.

Even if the 2014 model, launched in February 2013, was not a completely new model, only the cabin was kept from the non-facelifted model. The hood was raised for a better stance on the road. Along with that redesigned front end design, the front grille was enlarged. Also, the bed has received few upgrades and even a small spoiler on top of the tailgate. The regular cab was offered with two bed options: a 2.0m (78.7”) and a 2.5m (97.6”), respectively.

Inside, there are more features than before, with a new, redesigned HVAC unit and better controls. Also, there is a new infotainment unit that has a rear-view camera mounted on the tailgate. For the Regular Cab, there are three seats offered, but the middle is very cramped, on top of the transmission tunnel. When that is not used, it can be folded and used as a table with two cup-holders. Behind the seats, there is a decent cargo area, large enough for some fishing equipment.

Under the hood, the same engine range was kept, starting with a 4.0-liter V6. The top version was the 5.7-liter V8 unit. All engines were mated with a 5-speed automatic transmission that featured a switch on the lever for manually selecting the gears. The Tundra was offered as a 4×2 or 4×4 with low-range gear.
