Everything You Need to Know About the Purchase of a Toyota Tundra

Whether you are looking to purchase a new or preowned vehicle, there are certain factors you need to take into consideration. If you are interested in purchasing a full-size truck, there are plenty of reasons to consider the Toyota Tundra.

Upon its introduction in 2000, the Toyota Tundra became the first ever full-size truck made by a foreign auto manufacturing company and released in the United States. Toyota has a long standing history for providing dependable, quality vehicles, which is just one good reason to purchase a Tundra.

Size

If you want a full-size truck capable of heavy hauls, check out the Toyota Tundra at Liberty Cars and Trucks. The first generation Tundra, which pertains to model years 2000 to 2006, gained size on the former Toyota T100, but it still seemed rather small compared to most domestic pickup trucks. In truth, the older model Tundra is often a great choice if you are looking for the features of a full-size truck while wanting something a bit smaller.

Larger pickup trucks may seem hard to handle if you have never driven anything that size before. Because the Tundra is on the smaller end of full-size trucks, some might argue that it is a mid-size truck. If this is your first time deciding to drive a full-size truck, you will quickly discover that the Tundra, whether first or second generation, is the perfect decision.

Power

Under the hood of the Toyota Tundra, you will find plenty of power. The first generation Tundra seemed a bit underpowered when pitted against well-known domestic stalwarts, including those produced by Chevy, Dodge, and Ford.

  • • 4.0 L (236 HP)
  • • 4.0 L (270 HP)
  • • 4.7 L (276 HP)
  • • 4.6 L (310 HP)
  • • 5.7 L (381 HP)

A first generation Tundra, however, may include the following engines:

  • • 3.4 L (190 HP)
  • • 4.0 L (236 HP)
  • • 4.7 L (245 HP)
  • • 4.7 L (271 HP)
  • • 4.7 L (282 HP)

The power capabilities of the Tundra you choose will surely depend on the year. However, the model itself proves so capable that the year does not even matter.

Toyota has always held the safety of the driver and the passengers in high standard. That is why the Tundra comes equipped with dual front airbags, side curtain airbags with rollover sensing in both the front and rear rows, and side torso airbags in the front row.

John Baich – Toyota Tundra Owner "Living in Colorado Rocky Mountains can demand a lot of its residents and their vehicles. The Tundra is clearly up for the challenge."

Matt – Toyota Tundra Owner "I’ve owned many different brands and styles of pickups. I’ve never been as impressed with this TRD Pro! Made a trip across the country in it, and everywhere I went, it turned heads and started conversations. I’ve not been off road as much as I would like, but what I have, I have not been disappointed. The suspension is comfortable and well balanced. I looked for a truck where I didn’t have to do anything to it to make it work like I needed it to. This is definitely it! The Toyota hit one out of the park with this truck!"
