The latest edition of the Toyota Tundra takes another step forward in Toyota’s commitment to being the full-size pickup that sidesteps all the “me-too” moves of the pickup crowd. The Texas-built Tundra that’s available at Avondale Toyota manages to deliver efficient power with a twin-turbo V6. It comes with Toyota’s legendary knack for reliability and the ride is more comfortable than other trucks thanks to its unique rear coil-spring suspension.
Performance philosophy behind the 2023 Toyota Tundra
Toyota’s Tundra gives you the option of a straight-gasoline twin-turbo V6 or a hybrid option. While other trucks are trying too hard to rush electric models to market before the technology is perfected, Toyota avoids releasing features that haven’t been properly refined. When you get a Tundra powertrain in a gas or hybrid version, you know it’s a system you can count on. That’s a major reason Toyota’s reliability ratings are so high.
Powertrain choices in a 2023 Toyota Tundra
The 2023 Tundra’s twin-turbo V6 comes with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, and it’s available in three tantalizing flavors. The base SR trim in the gas-only engine produces 348 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. Above the base, you’ll get 389 horsepower with torque at 479 lb-ft. The hybrid creates an impressive 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque with a zero-to-60 time of 5.7 seconds. You won’t waste any time in a Tundra.
The new Tundra off-road
The Toyota Tundra for 2023 continues to offer its popular TRD (Toyota Racing Development) Off-Road package: The Off-Road TRD option gives you muscular suspension along with skid plates to protect your underside. If you want the highest level of off-road capability, check out the TRD Pro option. It comes with lifted suspension and special dampers along with black 18-inch wheels and beefy all-terrain tires.
2023 Tundra towing and payload
The Toyota Tundra can tow as much as 12,000 pounds when it’s equipped correctly. The maximum payload capacity is 1,940 pounds. Truck lovers in Avondale and Phoenix, AZ will appreciate the fact that this particular payload number is an upgrade of 11% over the previous year’s edition of the Tundra. A double-wishbone front suspension system makes your ride more comfortable while improving performance and durability.
The interior of a 2023 Toyota Tundra
The dashboard of the newest Tundra has a confident design that puts air vents prominently in place for good overall air flow. Reviewers note that the quality of materials in the center console, the dash and the doors is an upgrade from the previous generation. The center console is versatile, practical and big, offering Tempe and Glendale AZ truck owners an abundance of cubbies for handy storage.
Cargo space in the latest Toyota Tundra
The 2023 Tundra is available in two body styles and three cargo-bed lengths. The Tundra Double Cab is the extended version that comes with your choice of a 6.5-ft bed or a big 8.1-foot bed. The crew cab, known as CrewMax, lets you choose a 5.5-foot bed or one that’s 6.5 feet long.
Infotainment in the 2023 Toyota Tundra
An 8-inch touchscreen comes standard in the newest version of the Tundra. But truck buyers in Peoria, AZ and elsewhere will have to give serious consideration to the massive, horizontally-oriented 14.0-inch touchscreen. It’s the biggest infotainment display available in any full-size half-ton pickup. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto come standard.
