The 2014 Toyota Tundra debuted at the Chicago Auto Show with three powertrains, five different unique grades and a spacious new interior design.
A tough exterior has been combined with a new instrument panel that clusters gauges for quick and easy readability along with a center display screen. There is also plenty of storage along with padded surfaces for extra comfort. You’ll also get a choice between front row bench or bucket seats on the Double Cab and Crew Max.
There will be five different grades for the 2014 Toyota Tundra, starting with the base SR and moving on up with the SR5, the Limited and two Premium grades in the Platinum and 1794 Edition. Cab styles will include a two-door Regular Cab, four-door Double Cab and four-door CrewMax, all available in either a 4×2 and 4×4.
Under the hood there are three available powertrains. The first is the 4.0-liter DOHC V6 which comes standard on Tundra Regular and Double Cab models. It produces 270 horsepower and 278 lb.-ft. peak torque paired with a five-speed automatic transmission with uphill/downhill shift logic.
Additional options for the 2014 Toyota Tundra include a 4.6-liter DOHC i-Force V8 with 310 horsepower and 327 lb.-ft. of torque and a 5.7-liter DOHC i-Force V8 that puts out 381 horsepower and 401 lb.-ft. of peak torque. Both engines are available as gasoline and “Flex Fuel” variants and come standard with a six-speed automatic transmission.
The 2014 Toyota Tundra is also the only full-size pickup in its segment that meets the SAE J2807 towing standard and, when equipped with a tow package, has a maximum tow capacity of 10,400 pounds.
Expect to see the 21014 Toyota Tundra in showrooms this September.

Nicole Wakelin fell in love with cars as a teenager when she got to go for a ride in a Ferrari. It was red and it was fast and that was all that mattered. Game over. She considers things a bit more carefully now, but still has a weakness for fast, beautiful cars. When not drooling over cars, Nicole writes for Wired’s GeekMom.
