Toyota Tundra dimensions

The 2012 Toyota Tundra features strong powertrain choices and a selection of roomy cabs to deliver a real workhorse of a pickup. Toyota Tundra Crewmax Cabin offers the following pros: Strong V8 powertrains; capable six-speed automatic; big Double Cabin with conventional back doors; colossal Crewmax cab; one axle ratio fits all. Toyota Tundra Crewmax Cabin drawbacks are: Dashboard layout missteps; lively ride; feels more cumbersome to drive than rivals.

The 2012 Toyota Tundra is a full-size pickup provided in three body styles (two-door Regular Cabin, extended 4-door Double Cabin and 4-door crew-cab named the Crewmax), plus three various wheelbases and three bed lengths. There are just two versions: the Toyota Tundra and the top-of-the-line Toyota Tundra Limited. Not all these variations are available together, and the availability of some features often depends on the region in which you live.

Traditional equipment on entry-level Regular Cabin models contains 18-inch metal wheels, chrome bumpers, heated mirrors, full performance accessories, a windshield wiper de-icer, a damped tailgate, performance windows, dual-zone air-conditioning, cloth upholstery, a 40/20/40-split seat bench, a tilt-only helm and a four-speaker audio system with a CD player and an optional stereo slot.

The entry-level Double Cabin adds intermittent windshield wipers, keyless entry, an eight-way manually adjustable driver bench, 60/40-split fold-up back seatings, carpeting, cruise control and two extra speakers. The Crewmax adds a performance vertical-sliding back window and a sliding, reclining and fold-flat back bench.

Moving up to the Limited trim level, which is only provided on Double Cabin and Crewmax body styles, gets you 18-inch alloy wheels, a color-keyed front bumper, foglights, a bed rail system with adjustable tie-down cleats, power-folding and auto-dimming mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, heated performance front bucket seatings (10-way driver, four-way passenger), a power-operated sliding back window (double Cab), an auto-dimming rearview mirror with inbuilt back-up camera screen, updated gauges and trip computer, a tilt-and-telescoping leather-wrapped helm, Bluetooth phone and stereo connectivity, and a JBL luxury stereo system with a Six-cd changer, 10 speakers in the Double Cabin and 12 speakers in the Crewmax.

A long list of packages and stand-alone features makes it possible to add many of the Limited's traditional features to the base Toyota Tundra, though more of them are available on the Double Cabin. Limited models can also be had with 20-inch alloy wheels, running boards and a navigator with a touchscreen interface, voice controls and real-time traffic. The Crewmax Limited can also be loaded up with a rear-seat entertainment system and a Platinum suite that contains 20-inch alloy wheels, a sunroof, perforated leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seatings, driver memory functions and the navigator.

There are also a dizzying array of available feature packages, including a Tow suite that bundles a heftier axle ratio, a hitch receiver, a transmission Tow/haul mode, oil and transmission fluid coolers, a heavy-duty battery, updated alternator and a seven-pin connector. A Work Truck suite strips base Regular and Double Cabin models of comfort features like performance mirrors, keyless entry and cruise control and substitutes black bumpers, vinyl upholstery and heavy-duty rubber flooring.

Styling-oriented packages include a Chrome Look suite (base Double Cabin models only) and a Sport Look suite. There are also several off-road-oriented equipment groups. The TRD Off-road suite adds special 18-inch alloy wheels, off-road tires, an off-road-tuned suspension, skid plates and tow hooks (the Regular Cabin version also adds many of the comfort niceties found on the other body styles). The TRD Rock Warrior suite (base Double Cabin and Crewmax only) is alike, but contains 17-inch forged alloy wheels and all-terrain tires, along with a matte black back bumper and many of the comfort features. .
