The 2014 Toyota Tundra Has Outdone Itself.

2014-toyota-tundra-front-view

The Toyota Tundra is updated for 2014 with a fresh front end and squared-off fenders. It was revealed Thursday at the Chicago Auto Show.

The new design is meant to play up a "chiseled" and "modern industrial" image, though the changes are relatively slight. The grille is taller, the front bumpers use a new three-piece design and the sheetmetal is a bit more blocky. In back, the bed has a new look, a three-piece bumper and updated taillights.

Toyota is calling this the most significant refresh since the Tundra's launch as a 2007 model. The styling also plays to the rough-and-tough demeanor the company conveys with the Texas-built truck.

The cabin is reworked with a new seat design and instrument panel. It also will offer a blind-spot monitor, standard backup camera and Bluetooth.

The engine selection is carried over from the current Tundra: a 4.0-liter V6 rated at 270 hp and 278 lb-ft of torque, a 4.6-liter V8 making 310 hp and 327 lb-ft, and a 5.7-liter V8 pushing out 381 hp and 401 lb-ft. The V8s are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, while the V6 gets a five-speed auto. The highest rated towing package can pull 10,400 pounds.

The Tundra comes in five trims: SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum and a new 1794 edition. The ranch where the Tundra factory in San Antonio, Texas, is located was founded in 1794.

The truck will be sold with a two-door cab, four-door double cab and four-door crew configuration. All can be equipped with either rear-wheel or four-wheel drive.

Toyota Avalon, Avalon Hybrid Earn 5-Star Safety Ratings in NHTSA Tests

Mike

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration continues to test new or redesigned-for-2013 models, and it just awarded the Toyota Avalon a five-star safety rating.

The 2013 Avalon's overall five-star score was composed of five and four stars across the different areas of crash testing: It earned four stars in frontal testing, five stars in side-crash testing and a four-star score in rollover tests. The hybrid model received the same scores.

Toyota's largest sedan was redesigned for 2013 with more exciting styling, a luxurious interior and new comfort and convenience features.

In addition to the two Avalon models, 10 other 2013 Toyota, Lexus and Scion models have earned OVERALL five-star ratings: Toyota Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius, Venza AWD and Venza FWD; Scion tC; and Lexus CT 200h, ES 300h, RX 350 AWD and RX 450 AWD.
