2015 Toyota Tundra model highlights. A top truck serving Colorado Springs in Pueblo, CO*

The 2015 Toyota Tundra is the latest incarnation in the TRD Pro series and facilitates off-road traveling, as well as heavy loading and towing. The 2015 Tundra features three main models—Crew Max, Double Cab and the Regular Cab—and so the specs differ for each one. Anyone wanting to know more regarding these differences should inquire with the manufacturer or contact a Toyota Dealer. General Specs: • Towing Capacity: 6,400-10,500 lbs. • Payload: 1,500-2,110 lbs. • Gas Tank Capacity: 38 gallons • Fuel Type: 87-octane regular unleaded • MSRP: $28,410-$47,875 • Average Cost: Crew Max: $32,480 + Double Cab: $23,410 + Regular: Cab: $29,020 + The 2015 Tundra scored a “good” on its NHTSA testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and performs well for its everyday riding. For the exception of a bit of bounciness on the highway, this Toyota truck runs smoothly on and off-road. Despite this, however, the TRD Pro series for 2015 still lags noticeably behind the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado and RAM 1,500—three pickups known for superb performance. Those who are interested in buying any Toyota truck can ask their local Toyota Dealer for more information or a test drive.

Exterior

The Toyota Tundra’s exterior is a bit austere, but hulky. This appearance promotes an aggressive image that all trucks are supposed to convey. This is certainly one feature any Toyota Dealer would hype in his sales pitch. Most truck buyers look for it. The new 1794 Edition offers luxury, and that refers to the outside as well. This can be seen mostly in the 18-20-inch steel wheels that reinforce passage over rugged terrain. The 60/40 split-folding rear bench seat for outside resting, power windows, heated side view mirrors, a wide and spacious rear bed for heavy loading highlight function in the truck’s exterior makeup. All of this is merely upgraded from the 2014 models, so not much has changed in that area, but the improvements are noticeable.

Interior

The interior of the 2015 Toyota Tundra varies depending on the model, but the 1794 Edition features include heated and ventilated leather bucket seats with lumbar support, soft-touch material lining and “wood-grain” trim throughout the cab to give the ride that comfortable feeling, ambient lighting, a sectioned dashboard with console box for storage, a tilt-telescopic steering wheel, a floor-mounted urethane gearshift lever, and heavy-duty flooring to withstand bumping on and off roads. The Toyota Tundra is not without its elegance. Along with its creature comforts inside, the brown premium multidirectional leather seats are embossed with flair of accents. This detailed feature offers occupants a bit of style to carry along on their ride. As far as the Crew Max and Double Cab go, a second row of seats can accommodate three more people, along with additional space needed for those special family outings that require extra supplies. Any Toyota Dealer can provide additional specs on each of these models for those who are interested in learning more.

Mechanical

The front suspension has an independent double-wishbone design with a high-mount upper arm and a set of coil springs, while a solid-axle with leaf springs features on the rear suspension. Both front and rear chasses have a set of monotube dampers and a 3-stage compression damping process The front brakes are 13.9-inch ventilated cast-iron discs and the rear measure 13.6. The real difference is in the caliper count: the former, 4-piston; the latter a single-piston. The steering Column has rack-and-pinion design, operates on hydraulic-assist, and allows for proportional speed. Steering ratio: 18.0.

Powertrain

The power-train of the 2015 Tundra has a six-speed automatic front-engine, longitudinal four-wheel drive configuration, and is guaranteed a 60 month/60,000-mile lifespan. 2WD: • 4.6L V8: 310 HP, 327 torque, 15 MPG city/19 MPG highway/16 MPG combined • 5.7L V8: 381 HP, 401 torque, 13 MPG city/18 MPG highway/15 MPG combined 4WD: • 4.6L V8: 310 HP, 327 torque, 14 MPG city/18 MPG highway/16 MPG combined • 5.7L V8: 381 HP, 401 torque, 13 MPG city/17 MPG highway/15 MPG combined The V8 allows for greater horsepower than the now-extinct V6, resulting in higher speed. This engine is not economical as far as fuel is concerned, but the mileage is exceptional.

Anyone interested in buying a Toyota Truck should know how to drive safely. Any Toyota Truck bearing low or no scores in crash-testing is a risk regardless of other evaluative ratings. The 2015 Toyota Tundra does what it is designed to do. According to reviews, the 2015 Tundra offers nice riding for the everyday driver, and its lower prices reflect that. It is a great truck for Southern Colorado.
