Toyota has officially released specifications on its all-new Tundra full-size pickup truck. Larger in every dimension than the model it replaces, the 2007 Tundra is available in 31 model configurations and with a choice between 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains. Additional choices in cab styles, wheelbases, bed lengths, engines and trim enable you to customize the vehicle to your specific applications and tastes.

Style and power
Three cab styles are available: Regular Cab, four-door Double Cab and the four-door CrewMax with added rear-seat legroom. The Regular Cab comes in DX trim level and can be upgraded to SR5 with an option package. The Double Cab and CrewMax come in SR5 and Limited trim levels. Available user technology includes Bluetooth cell phone compatibility, high-end JBL audio and a navigation system that integrates a wide-screen rear backup camera.

In Regular and Double Cab models, a standard 4.0-liter V6 delivers 236 hp at 5,200 rpm and 266 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 4,000 rpm. The mid-grade option for these models, and standard powerplant for the CrewMax, is an enhanced version of the 4.7-liter iForce V8. It produces 271 hp at 5,400 rpm and 313 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 3,400 rpm. Both engines are teamed with a five-speed automatic transmission with updated flex lock-up torque converter.

Also available is the all-new 5.7-liter iForce V8. In addition to generating 381 hp at 5,600 rpm, this engine's long-stroke configuration enables it to unleash 401 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 3,600 rpm. The iForce 5.7 V8 is teamed with a six-speed automatic transmission featuring shift logic, which adapts the shift maps to driver input.

Strength and safety
Regular Cab and Double Cab models come with a 78.7-in. standard bed or 97.6-in. long bed. The CrewMax has a 66.7-in. short bed.
