It’s never a simple decision when it comes to purchasing a new truck, but the 2017 Toyota Tundra could make things a whole lot easier. The popular car maker is putting out an updated version of the already-favorite pickup for the new year. If you’re in the market for a new truck, here’s what you should consider about the 2017 Tundra.
Powerful Performance
First things first: let’s talk performance. The 2017 Toyota Tundra was designed with ultimate performance in mind, and you aren’t going to be disappointed. These bad boys are equipped with either a 4.6- or 5.7-liter V8 engine. The 4.6-liter option packs 310 horsepower and has 327 pound-feet of torque, while the latter engine option has 381 horsepower and a whopping 401 pound-feet of torque.
Of course, depending on the trim level you choose for your Tundra, the maximum towing capabilities will vary. Some trim levels, for instance, can handle up to 10,100 pounds. The towing package comes standard with most Tundras and includes a TOW/HAUL switch, a towing hitch receiver, an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller, and so much more for all your hauling needs.
In the Interior
If what’s under the hood wasn’t awesome enough, the interior of these trucks takes it all to a whole new level. Some models of the 2017 pickup come with leather trim seats, a power sliding rear window, and even a moonroof. Strategically placed controls, luscious seats, and features like a dual zone automatic climate control make the cabins of these trucks so luxurious and comfortable, you’ll forget that you’re driving a pickup.
An in-dash display and standard backup camera make parking and backing out a little less stressful on you. You can also use these displays with integrated navigation options, surfing through all your favorite tunes, and so much more. You won’t even have to take your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road to operate this system either, as it comes equipped with Bluetooth and voice-activated technologies.
Aside from the 7-inch display, you will also find another 3.5-inch informational display just behind the steering wheel. In one glance, you can get a full understanding of your truck’s speed, mileage, fuel economy, and distance to empty. This display will also inform you when there’s an aspect of your truck that needs maintaining, so that you can stay as safe and efficient on the road as possible.
Safer Than Ever
When you’re on longer trips or hauling bigger loads, safety is more important to you than ever. Toyota understands this, which is why the car maker has included top-notch safety features in the latest Tundra. Driver assist technologies, like blind spot monitoring, innovative airbags unique to the Tundra, and the Star Safety System suite of safety features can all the be found in these pickups.
These are just a few of the amazing features you can find in the 2017 Toyota Tundra. If you’re looking for a truck that can do it all, the Tundra might just be the right choice for you.
