2010 Toyota Tundra 2-Door

01 Feb

The Toyota Tundra is consistently one of America’s best selling trucks for a reason. The Tundra combines rock-solid Toyota reliability with with well thought out, “devil is in the details” engineering.

Customizable Utility

The Toyota Tundra is available in close to 60 variants, from no-frills work trucks at a great value to models sporting any performance-enhancing and luxury bells and whistles imaginable on a truck. But whatever the trim level, the Tundra remains at heart the working man’s best friend. Such details as door handles and control knobs big enough to be operated while wearing gloves, a glove box specifically designed to be big enough to hold a thermos, and and a center console large enough to hold a laptop show that Toyota went the extra mile to make this truck friendly to those who spend their days out in the field.

Safety

The Tundra comes with more safety features standard than most of its competitors in the light truck market. Standard safety features on all models include front seat side airbags, roll-sensing side curtain airbags and front seat knee airbags. 4 wheel disc brakes with vehicle stability control are also standard features.

Ease of Maintenance

Anyone who has ever popped the hood on a Toyota pickup knows the engine compartment is obviously designed to facilitate basic and not-so-basic maintenance tasks than is the case with many comparable pickups. Basically, you can see and reach almost every part under the hood you might need to service or replace. This is a HUGE plus factor for those who are disinclined to spend money and time at the mechanics shop and prefer to do things themselves.

It’s not a Gas Sipper

You don’t get the power and utility of a truck without some trade-offs. The Tundra’s EPA rated 15 mpg city and 19 mpg highway numbers, although very decent for a truck of this class, aren’t going to make it the ideal choice for cruising around town in these economic times. But as a vehicle whose reason for being is getting the job done, the Tundra fits the bill almost perfectly.
