2014 toyota tundra review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. New looks inside and out, proven mechanicals underneath. introductionthe toyota tundra is a full-size pickup offering realistic work capability and durability. We've found the tundra to be a stable, comfortable truck for towing a 20-foot enclosed car trailer over long distances. Towing capacities top 10,000 pounds on some models, and maximum payload ratings exceed 2,000 pounds. for 2014, there is a new tundra in terms of appearance. The dashboard, electronics and cabin trimming are new and also look better than before. A rearview camera is standard on every 2014 tundra. The engine, suspension and everything underneath are essentially the same with only small calibration changes most owners won't notice. the 2014 toyota tundra lineup is simpler than before. The two-door regular cab only comes in entry-level trim levels and only with a long bed. The double cab with conventional front-hinged, secondary rear side doors seats five or six and comes with 6. 5- or 8-foot beds. Named for the ranch on which the tundra factory sits, the 1794 has requisite big badges, cowboy-color leather and ultrasuede interior, woodgrain trim, and things like ventilated power seats and big jbl sound system to improve the ride after a long day's work. It's a good truck engine with epa fuel-economy ratings of 14/18 mpg city/highway, or 13/17 mpg with 4wd, and standard on most tundra permutations. Most newer competitors offer more power, more mileage or both, but the real world difference tends to be 1-2 mpg. Tundra remains the only full-size pickup to publish tow ratings that meet a standard all full-size manufacturers agreed to for 2013, and those standards tend to lower existing ratings; the other manufacturers are continuing to use their own in-house ratings. the smaller 4. 6-liter dohc v8 engine is rated at 310 horsepower and 327 pound-feet of torque, with slightly better epa fuel-economy ratings of 15/20 mpg city/highway, 14/19 mpg with 4wd. Both v8 engines come with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 4. 6-liter v8 is a good choice for drivers who do not plan to do a lot of towing. the 4. 0-liter v6, available only on some 2wd tundras, nets 270 horsepower, 278 pound-feet of torque and epa ratings of 16/20 mpg city/highway. V6 models can't tow as much as the v8s but easily better the v8s for payload due to the lighter weight of the engine. The v6 comes with a 5-speed automatic. It's the best choice for a budget or intercity work truck, but the 4. 6-liter v8's added refinement could easily be worth the nominal fuel economy penalty. lineupthe 2014 toyota tundra comes in three body styles: regular cab with 8-foot long bed, 4-door double cab with 6 1/2-foot standard bed or 8-foot long bed, and 4-door crew max with a 5 1/2-foot short bed. All ride on a 146-inch wheelbase except the double cab long bed at 165 inches. Double cab is available is sr, sr5 and limited trim levels. Crewmax cabs are offered in sr5, limited, platinum and 1794 edition models all with 5. 5-foot beds. tundra sr comes in regular cab 25,920) with an 8-foot bed and double cab 26,810) body styles and a choice of 4. 0-liter v6 with 5-speed automatic transmission, 4. 6-liter v8, or 5. 7-liter v8 28,465). Options on sr trim include cargo rail retention system, tow hitch on 4. 6 double cab, and a work truck package with vinyl seat and floor that removes cruise control, power accessories and map lights. tundra sr5 trim adds to sr with fog lamps, more chrome outside, entune audio plus (7-inch hi-resolution touchscreen, siriusxm radio with 90-day trial, hd radio with itunes tagging and weather/traffic in metro areas, elsewhere with a smartphone), dark-tint manual sliding rear window, and additional instruments with 3. 5-inch display. Tundra sr5 is available in double cab 29,465) or crewmax 31,825) versions with 4x2 or 4x4 drivelines and a choice of 4. 6-liter v8 or 5. 7-liter v8. Optional equipment includes alloy wheels. Sr5 upgrade package includes bucket front seats, power driver seat, console and shift, tilt and telescope steering wheel, rear underseat storage tray. The trd off-road package features bilstein shocks, unique alloy wheels and michelin tires, skid plates, rear side window privacy glass; and tow hooks on 2wd. tundra limited upgrades to dual-zone climate control, leather upholstery, heated 10/4-way power front seats, 20-inch alloy wheels, leather tilt/telescope steering wheel with audio and bluetooth controls, power sliding rear window (horizontal on double cab, vertical on crewmax), auto-dimming mirror, deck rail tie-down cleat system, entune app suite, navigation, upgraded audio system and alarm system. Optional are trd package, moonroof and blind-spot monitor/rear cross traffic alert on crewmax. A limited premium package adds auto up/down power windows, park sensors front and rear, remote keyless entry. All tundra limited models come with 5. 7-liter v8 in double cab 36,94) and crewmax 38,845), with 4x2 or 4x4. tundra platinum 44,270) models get perforated leather diamond-quilt pattern upholstery, heated/cooled front seats, driver memory system, jbl audio system, color-matched bumpers and grille trim, auto-dimming power-folding outside mirrors, moonroof, park sensors and glass breakage sensor. All tundra platinum models come with 5. 7-liter v8 and crewmax but offer a choice of 4x2 or 4x4 47,320). The standard rearview camera can enhance safety by helping the driver spot children behind the truck when backing up. By wheelbase, width, track and height it is among the largest of half-ton pickups. Now squared off and angularized like a body-builder's jaw, it's the most visually imposing tundra yet. for 2014 the rounded lines that led to an inflated look are gone. And the bumper top is lower, so while sr/sr5, limited, platinum and 1794 all get different grille arrangements, those grilles are considerably larger than before. Fog lights are recessed for protection and headlights are single-bulb units; we couldn't verify performance given lightning activity, but every example we drove from sr5 to 1794 had a manual in-cab adjustment for vertical aim, handy for keeping light on the road with a load or trailer on. we find the rear view more improved than the front.
