Increased ability is the name of the game for the 2016 Toyota Tundra – and it’s good news whether you’re headed for the trails or towing your boat.
New for 2016 is a TRD Pro package. Not to be confused with the TRD Off-Road package, the TRD Pro Package is a, well, professional take on an off-roading truck. More Ram Rebel than F-150 Raptor, the TRD Pro focuses mostly on suspension changes. The star of the show is the 2.5-inch external-reservoir TRD-Bilstein shock system designed to tackle high-speed off-roading. It offers 10.5 inches of wheel travel, some two inches more than the standard Tundra. TRD 18-inch alloy wheels, a TRD performance exhaust, and unique grille, and stamped box-side applique give it a distinctive appearance, and the interior is dressed up with red-stitched leather seats and a navigation system.
Elsewhere, all Tundras barring those equipped with the 4.6-litre V8 receive an enhanced towing package. A best-in-class fuel tank (144 L) and trailer brake controller join a heavy-duty hitch receiver, transmission cooler, and 4+7-pin connector. Standard manual headlight leveling is provided to ensure safe vision, even when towing a full load. Lastly, the 1794 Edition and SR5 trim levels receive restyled grilles.
The Tundra is available in Regular Cab, Double Cab, or CrewMax configuration. Bed lengths are standard (6-foot-7), long (8-foot-1) and short (5-foot-6). A 4.6-litre V8 is available exclusively in the base Double Cab configuration, while a 5.7-litre V8 comes standard on all other models. Both engines use a six-speed automatic transmission.
