Toyota is often never starting a trend, but when it recognises the next big thing, it often deliveries with a high-quality and competitive product.
Case in point: the Toyota Tundra. Though models like the Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado have had free reign so far in Australia, Toyota has committed to converting at least a handful of Tundras to right-hand drive to see how they fair in local conditions.
With the work carried out by renowned vehicle remanufacturers Walkinshaw Group by using existing Toyota parts from the LandCruiser (which shares the same underpinnings as the Tundra), once again, expect a quality and potentially popular Toyota product hit roads in 2024.
The line-up currently starts at $155,990 for the Tundra Limited and ranges through to $155,990 for the range-topping Tundra Limited.

The Tundra has seating for five passengers in Australia with two front bucket seats and a three-wide rear bench. Synthetic leather upholstery, power-adjust and front seat heating and ventilation are also offered.
The space in the Tundra is excellent with plenty of room for five full-grown adults. All positions bar the centre rear seat are extremely comfortable.
The Tundra can accomodate child seats with three top tether anchors and ISOFIX tabs on both outboard rear seats. The bench folds 60/40 to expose the top tether points. The cushion can fold up and away for a more practical storage space, too.

The Toyota Tundra should be able to sprint from 0-100km/h in around six seconds and is very close to a Ford Ranger Raptor in pace. The Tundra has an electronically limited top speed of 170km/h.
With a GVM beyond 3500kg, Toyota did not need to submit an ADR combined cycle fuel consumption figure. In US EPA testing's combined cycle, the Tundra 4x4 hybrid achieved 11.2L/100km.
Real-world testing confirms a similar number. With a 122L fuel tank full of 95 RON premium unleaded petrol, driving range should be around 1100km.
