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: The 2020 Toyota Tundra drops its 4.6-liter V8. The more powerful 381-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission is now the sole powertrain. TRD Pro trim is newly available on the Double Cab, in addition to the CrewMax. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto functionality is now standard. Tundra is a full size pickup available in extended cab (Double Cab) and crew cab (CrewMax) styles. There is no regular cab. Rear-wheel drive and part-time 4-wheel drive are offered. Available features include forward collision warning and mitigation with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot alert, rear cross-traffic alert, power-sliding rear window, trailer-sway control, and LED headlights. 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.
