Rugged Exterior of the 2016 Toyota Tundra

The most important feature on the exterior of the 2016 Tundra is probably its truck bed, which is offered in three lengths depending on the cabin style you choose. Whether you choose a 5.5-foot, 6.5-foot, or 8.1-foot truck bed, it will be 22.2 inches deep and 5.5 feet wide. Add the deck rail system to take advantage of four adjustable tie-down cleats that are each rated to handle 220 pounds. The tailgate gives you easy access to this space as it can open and close when using just two fingers. You can also remove the tailgate or lock it for secure storage underneath your Tonneau cover accessory. You will also be glad to learn that all Toyota Tundras come standard with Daytime Running Lights, and these can be upgraded to LEDs. You can also take advantage of multi-reflector halogen headlights featuring manual level control and fog lights.

Inside the Spacious Cabin of the 2016 Tundra

The interior of the 2016 Toyota Tundra proves that a tough work truck doesn’t need to lack interior amenities. It has a driver-focused center stack and finely stitched seats with attention to detail throughout. The cabin is incredibly spacious, particularly the CrewMax cabin, which gives every passenger plenty of legroom and offers a moonroof. The higher trim levels also have their own unique interior styling and features, with options like leather-trimmed and heated front seats, leather on the tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, 12-way power adjustment with memory function and power lumbar and thigh for the driver, and 6-way power adjustment with power lumbar for the front passenger. The rear seats split 60/40 and fold up in most Tundras, giving you interior storage space to complement the truck bed.

2016 Toyota Tundra Pulls Performance

Each of the Tundra’s 22 configurations across the six trims can tow at least 10,000 pounds. When configured correctly, the Tundra can even tow 10,500 pounds. The base 4.6-liter V8 engine gives you 310 horsepower and a torque of 327 pound-feet. The 5.7-liter V8 has 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet. Models with the 5.7-liter V8 engine automatically have a TOW/HAUL Mode and an integrated towing hitch receiver. The first of these will intelligently hold lower gears for a longer time, preventing the engine from searching for the proper gear while towing. This system also increases engine braking, pulling power, and throttle response for more confidence when towing.
