Toyota has announced its large Tundra pick-up has been approved for sale here
from November – the large U.S. sourced Toyota pick-up will be re-configured to
right-hand-drive in Melbourne by the Walkinshaw Automotive Group, much the
same as the long standing RAM and Chevrolet Silverado pickups. The Tundra
arrives first in Limited grade with a top of the range Premium addition arriving in
the second quarter next year. No prices have been announced just yet but the
fully re-engineered Tundra has been six years in development – sitting on the
same platform that underpins the LandCruiser 300 series. Powered by a 3.5-litre
twin-turbo V6 with 326kW and 790Nm of torque linked to a 10-speed automatic
transmission – driving through a part-time system with dual-range transfer case.
It offers an impressive 4.5 tonne towing capacity. It arrives as sales of large pick-
ups have slowed considerably. I’m David Berthon
