Toyota Tundra: Standard V8 Performance

When you really want a truck that can tow, you’re going to want to make sure you’re equipped with a V8 engine. Luckily, the Toyota Tundra makes use of a roaring 5.7L Aluminum i-FORCE V8 engine. You’ll be able to get quite a bit of acceleration with up to 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque.

This engine offers more than enough power to pull off any haul you put in front of it. When properly equipped, this truck is capable of towing up to 10,200 pounds. That’s more than enough muscle to allow you to pull a large boat or even a camping trailer.

Tundra's Advanced Transmission Capabilities

Making sure that all the power you need for towing is properly utilized is a standard Six-Speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission. This system features six gears, allowing you to achieve just the right number of RPMs no matter the speed and no matter the situation.

If you have a specific gear you’d like to sit on or you want to be in control of how your truck shifts, there’s a standard sequential shift mode. This feature allows you to manually choose your gears for maximum power when you demand it.

Perhaps you’d prefer an automatic transmission tuned more toward towing specifically. In that case, this transmission also features a Tow/Haul Mode, which configures your truck to upshift for ideal towing power. You’ll make the most out of your truck’s torque potential when you make use of this drive mode.

Toyota Tundra Towing Safety Features

In order to provide you with more control over your trailer, this truck features standard towing safety features like an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller. This built-in system allows you to apply your trailer’s brakes using a built-in braking system right at your fingertips.

To help make sure your trailer doesn’t cause any fishtailing, a standard Trailer-Sway Control feature is also aboard this truck. When your truck detects that your trailer is beginning to sway, it’ll apply brake pressure to straighten out the trailer and your vehicle.
