2017 Toyota Tundra | Consumer Guide Auto

2017 Toyota Tundra Platinum

Pros: High level of refinement (particularly on upper-line models) and good driving dynamics; quality interior materials; good cabin ergonomics

Cons: The 4-wheel drive is an inconvenient part-time system; fuel economy may come up a bit short compared to some domestic rivals

CG Says: Toyota Tundra is little changed for 2017. Limited models gain a standard power front-passenger seat. Tundras with the 4.6-liter V8 get a standard tow-hitch receiver. It might not have as many configuration options as its domestic-brand rivals, but what Tundra does offer should be more than enough for both commercial and recreational truck buyers. This big rig demands serious consideration, even from those who have remained loyal to one of the Detroit 3.
