2023 TOYOTA Tundra
Expert Analysis
The Toyota Tundra has long been the quiet giant of the pickup truck world, content to let its more bombastic rivals hog the spotlight while it gets on with the business of building a better truck.
This year's SR5 Crew Max edition I had the pleasure of driving is a perfect example of this understated approach. With its 3400cc V6 engine delivering a stately 389 horsepower, this is no slouch on the road. The 4WD system and six-speed automatic transmission work together seamlessly to propel the Tundra forward with authority, while the suspension soaks up even the most enthusiastic bumps in the road. And yet, despite its impressive capabilities, the Tundra remains curiously unpretentious - a truck that's as happy to haul heavy loads as it is to cruise down the highway with the windows down.
But what truly sets the Tundra apart is its engineering. The V35A-FTS engine may not be the most powerful on the market, but its silky-smooth operation and impressive torque output make it a joy to drive. Add to this the raft of safety features - including adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and blind spot monitoring - and you have a truck that's as much about prestige as it is about practicality. And when you factor in the Tundra's renowned durability and reliability, you begin to see why Toyota has built such a loyal following among truck enthusiasts. In short, this is a pickup that's as impressive on paper as it is on the road - a true giant of the automotive world.
