Though still called the Tundra, there’s little to tie this redesigned brute to the model it replaces. The 2007 Toyota Tundra’s look is all-new, with a muscular, domed hood, subtle wheel flares, body accent lines along the bed and fenders, and a body that just looks, well, bigger. That makes sense considering the 2007 Tundra has a longer wheelbase, has increased ten inches in length, five inches in height, and is four inches wider. Some may call it overkill, others will more appropriately see it as what Toyota needed to do to become truly competitive, a point accented by three new bed options, including a genuine eight-footer, all of which feature tailgate dampers that assist with lowering and raising. But, size doesn’t matter if there’s no muscle to move it around. So for 2007, the Tundra is available with an economical 4.0-liter V6, an updated version of the 4.7-liter V8 found in the 2006 model, and a new 5.7-liter V8 with variable valve timing and capable of meeting ULEV emission standards. A new six-speed automatic transmission will also be on the menu. Combining the newly-available grunt with the 2007 Tundra’s 30-percent stiffer chassis and a tow hitch integrated into the frame allows this new super-sized Toyota to pull more than 10,000 pounds.
