2004 toyota tundra review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. With the addition of the double cab, the tundra is now available in regular cab, extended cab, and crew cab bodies. though classified as full-size, the tundra models are not as big as the nissan titan, ford f-150, dodge ram, chevrolet silverado, and gmc sierra models. Toyota makes up for this in other ways. The tundra feels lighter on its feet, more agile and more refined than the domestic trucks. The tundra is quick and responsive. And it's built to toyota's high standard of quality, durability and reliability. the tundra is one of the smoothest, quietest, and most refined pickups we've driven. Its 4. 7-liter v8 engine is exceptional, with enough power to run with the big dogs. A properly equipped tundra can tow up to 7,100 pounds or haul up to 1,800 pounds. A v6 engine is available, and there's a bare-bones work truck that starts at $15,955. lineuptoyota tundra is available as a two-door regular cab, an extended access cab with auxiliary rear doors, and the new double cab. Three trim levels are available: base, sr5, and limited. A five-speed manual is standard, but it's also available with an automatic 16,795). Bumpers are painted. Air conditioning 985) is optional. Sr5 models come standard with air conditioning, cruise control, am/fm/cassette stereo, tilt steering, tachometer, color-keyed front and chromed rear bumper, styled steel wheels, and other trim upgrades. The v6 and five-speed manual are standard, but an automatic is available. Sr5s are also available with the v8 and automatic. limited models come standard with the v8, and are available in access cab 27,075) or double cab 29,270). The limited's long list of standard equipment includes an in-dash cd changer, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, keyless entry, and an anti-theft system. Limited models also get a power rear window. the step-side is available only on v8 access cabs in sr5 24,295) or limited 27,825) trim. A sport suspension package for 2wd v8 models features tokico shocks, springs tuned for handling, and a 3. 916:1 limited-slip differential. Graphite-tone 17-inch alloy wheels wear p265/65r17 tires. walkaroundthe toyota tundra is an attractive pickup, with a bold grille opening that extends down into the bumper. The heavy-looking chrome grille bars faintly suggest the 1947 gmc design, a model now popular with collectors. However, the tundra's styling is bland compared to the nissan titan, dodge ram, or the new ford f-150. The tundra shares a family resemblance with the compact toyota tacoma. Curving lines give both toyota trucks a sporty appearance, while bulging fenders make them look ready to go off road. The stepside body is more svelte than macho. the tundra double cab looks bigger and brawnier than the regular cab and access cab models. Around back, double cab models sport unique taillights. The short rear doors are hinged at the rear and open opposite the front doors. Fortunately, the inside of the rear door is padded, so this isn't a big problem. Handles for the rear doors are conveniently located on the outside, whereas most domestic pickups with extended cabs hide the handles inside the door jams. Still, the tundra's handle design isn't the most comfortable to use. regular cab beds measure 8 feet, but only 6-feet, 3-inches with the access cab. That's a few inches inches shorter than the short bed of a ford f-150 or chevrolet silverado. Toyota's bed is also a little shallower than ford's. The double cab's bed is about a half-inch shorter still, but at 20. 7 inches it's 3. 5 inches deeper than the beds of the regular cab and access cab. That makes it slightly deeper than the nissan titan crew cab or ford f-150 super crew beds as well. interiorthe tundra is a comfortable truck with a friendly interior. Toyota claims the tundra provides more front legroom than any of the domestic pickups, though it's only about a half inch, and the nissan titan has a slight edge over all of them. Double cabs come with bucket seats up front, rather than the split bench. Climbing in is easy, though the two-wheel-drive model seems to sit higher off the ground than other two-wheel-drive pickups. The tundra feels tall in the saddle, giving the driver a commanding view over shorter vehicles. accessory switches are concentrated in the center cluster for easy operation. The instruments are straightforward, with a big tachometer on all but base models. Double sun visors with extenders are useful at sunrise and sunset. access cab models add interior storage space and the ability to carry two more passengers. If those passengers are adults, however, the rear seat is mostly a short-term affair. The tundra does not have nearly as much space in the rear compartment of its extended cab as the other full-size pickups. And the rear seatback is vertical, forcing the occupants to sit bolt upright, uncomfortable for traveling any farther than the neighborhood restaurant. A far better use for the extended cab is carrying dry cleaning, groceries, briefcases, outdoor gear, or anything else that should be shielded from the elements. Unfortunately, the rear seat takes up a fair amount of room. The seat bottom on the split bench can be flipped up, but the seat doesn't fold completely out of the way nor can it be easily removed. Some of the domestic pickups are set up better for this. the double cab provides genuinely useful space for adult passengers. Its 37. 5 inches of rear-seat legroom makes for comfortable accommodations for back-seat passengers, though it doesn't have as much space as the new ford f-150 or nissan titan. Tundra's rear seatback reclines at an angle of 24 degrees, adding to comfort. Each rear seating position has a headrest and three-point safety belt. Rear-seat passengers also enjoy their own heating and air conditioning outlets, and optional audio and dvd entertainment systems. When the double cab's 60/40 split rear seat isn't occupied, it folds and tumbles to provide lockable, weather-tight storage space inside the cab. safety features for all tundra models include seatbelt pre-tensioners and force limiters, along with the required dual front airbags. This is the quietest pickup we've driven. There's very little wind or road noise in the cabin. And the ride quality is extremely smooth. the v8 engine provides excellent acceleration. It's very responsive in the 45-mph range, so passing on two-lane roads is easier. Toyota's v8 is silky smooth, quick, and extremely responsive. At the same time, it isn't overly sensitive to the throttle at tip-in, so it doesn't lurch off the line. And it sounds great. Toyota perfected this design in its land cruiser and lexus luxury vehicles. With distributorless ignition and other state-of-the-art features, the tundra's 4. 7-liter v8 produces nearly 200 pounds-feet of torque at just 2000 rpm and develops 315 pounds-feet at 3400 rpm. This gives it quick response around town and strong power for towing and hauling. It's also efficient, and qualifies as an ultra low-.
