 Toyota has expanded the Tundra full-size pickup truck lineup for 2008, adding 13 new model variations and enhancing standard equipment levels. The Tundra now offers a choice of 44 model variations in three cab styles.
The biggest change for 2008 is the increased availability of the two most popular cab styles—Double Cab and CrewMax—in the newly named “Tundra Grade” to increase their appeal to price-conscious customers. 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 consumers expect in their truck, says Toyota.
These models now 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 a lower price than for a similarly equipped 2007 model.
The Tundra Limited Grade Double Cab and Crew Max models add the formerly optional front and rear parking sonar, cold kit and mudguards to the standard equipment list, all at a lower price. Finally, the Tundra Grade regular cab model features more rugged work truck styling for 2008, with a new chrome bumper and matte black grille surround replacing the shiny black front bumper and grille surround.
The Tundra is available with 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains and offers three cab styles, three wheelbases, three bed lengths, three engines and three trim levels. All models feature the Star Safety System as standard equipment, which includes ABS, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), brake assist, vehicle stability control (VSC) and traction control (TRAC).
