There are plenty of online reviews you would surely want to read before you go in for buying a new car. These reviews are based on overview, performance, styling, quality, safety and features. A prospective car buyer can be well informed with the help of all these car reviews, which are done after actual test driving of these vehicles.
The 2010 Toyota Tundra is a full size pickup. Details, insights and observations about what the Tundra does well, or does not do, are made note of in a review. Most people seem to like the iForce V8 of the Tundra and its 6 speed automatic engine. This vehicle definitely has more standard features when compared to its rivals. There is a whole lot of storage spaces on the inside. The backseat space of CrewMax is appreciated. Some dislikes, if you really want to make a note of them, would be points like the V8 being a fuel guzzler, the dashboard tends to look gimmicky, the vehicle is considered too large and not as maneuverable as it should be. The rides are too high for most people.
The Tundra was brought out in a supersize in 2007, to compete against the Ford F-150 and the Chevrolet Silverado. It was very slightly modified in 2010, and a new grille design was added to some trims, along with a new tail-light design for the whole line of pick-ups. New options have been included and safety features improved. Just 2 large value packages group other features.
The Tundra sure is imposing in appearance. The grille is upright on the front and has nice and detailed headlamps on either side of the grille. Bulging side sills along the Tundra make it look still taller and it has flared wheel wells and keeps a smooth appearance. Tail lights retain the basic shape, but have gained in details. The insides are a little less pleasing, with an overdose of plastic. The matte metallic plastic curves along the gauges and down the console, at a bit of an angle.
The 2010 Toyota Tundra has a 236 hp engine and a 4 l V6. This provides enough force to push the mighty truck, yet most would go in for a V8. The 4.7 l has been replaced by a new 4.6 l. This is more strong, more fuel efficient and has ratings which read 15 mpg within city limits, 17 on the highway. The torque is of mammoth proportions and passing power is great even while towing. The V6 has a 5 speed auto, while the V8 has a smooth and responsive 6 speed automatic. The Tundra has an unbelievable towing capacity of 10,800 pounds and people having this kind of work to do can safely place their money on the 2010 Toyota Tundra.
