2010 Toyota Tundra

Toyota continues to evolve the Tundra, its entry into the full-size pickup market. Topping the list is an all-new 4.6-liter V-8 engine, which produces 310 horsepower and 327 lb.-ft. of torque. The new engine joins the 5.7-liter V-8 and the 4.0-liter V-6. Engine availability varies among the Regular, Double Cab and CrewMax models and the Tundra and Limited grades.

Toyota’s 5.7-liter V-8 was specifically designed for use in full-size pickups and delivers more power than before: 381 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque. Both V-8s are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The 4.0-liter V-6 produces 236 horsepower and 266 lb.-ft. of torque and is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. The Auto-LSD helps provide better acceleration in sand, mud and mixed surfaces. Auto-LSD and stability control are standard on all models. Stability control integrates traction control, enhancing on or off-road grip. Drivers can switch between normal, traction control off and stability control off to deal with various driving conditions.

For some buyers it’s all about towing. The available Tow Package on the V-8 models increases towing capacity to as much as 10,800 pounds depending model and drive train. A one-piece integrated receiver, special spring, transmission cooler, pre-wired connections for an electric brake controller with seven- and four-pin connectors near the hitch, an up-rated alternator and telescoping towing mirrors on the 5.7-liter model. The six-speed transmission gains a tow/haul shift mode. For more information on the 2010 Toyota Tundra, click Toyota dependability or Burnsville Toyota dependability.
