Taking a complete 180 degree turn from its hybrid focus, Toyota is making a supercharged version of its Tundra. This supercharged behemoth will be capable of producing 504-hp and 550 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds and a ¼ mile time of only 13.5 seconds. With a fuel economy of 14/18 mpg before modifications and a testing price of $42,502, this truck is built specifically for those guys who just can’t seem to show enough masculinity.
Car and Driver is planning to re-launch its site. This new and improved site promises to be much more interactive and user-friendly. With increased functionality, it will be even easier to navigate. There is much more information and links on the new homepage, allowing for quicker, more efficient search.
In addition, one of the best features of the new site is the increased functionality of the buyer’s guide, which allows you to more easily search for vehicles specifically tailored to your needs. For example, if you choose a make such as Toyota, the new site instantly provides you with several links to the latest reviews, comparison tests, news, and advice on different models.
Then, selecting a model, such as the Tundra allows you to view all of its top competitors in that class. With the ability to drill down on specifications and view tons of interior and exterior images, the new Car and Driver site is definitely more interactive and user-friendly, and will enhance your Toyota truck shopping experience. Feel free to email any feedback to caranddriver@hfnm.com.
How does the Toyota Tacoma stack up? Not bad...
Summer is here, and that almost certainly means that fuel prices will stay on the rise. If you’re in the market for a new or slighty used Toyota (and now is a great time to buy), a few extra MPG can save you thousands of dollars over the lifespan of the vehicle.
We’ve ranked all current Toyota trucks and SUVs for fuel efficiency (best to worst) using an average efficiency rating (city and highway). Enjoy.
