2019 Toyota Tundra review

1. Standard V8 power

The 2019 Toyota Tundra keeps things simple and traditional with its two V8 engine options. The first is a 4.6L V8, available only on the SR and SR5 trims, that pumps out 310 hp and 327 lb-ft of torque. The 5.7L V8 is available throughout the entire Tundra range, delivering 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque. Both engines rely on a six-speed automatic transmission for smooth power delivery.

2. Impressive towing performance

If you’re looking for a vehicle that satisfies your towing needs, then it’s worth giving the 2019 Toyota Tundra a test drive. When paired with the 5.7L V8 engine, the 2019 Tundra towing capacity tops out at an estimated 10,200 lb in 2WD guise and 9,900 lb when equipped with 4WD.

3. Excellent comfort

When it comes to interior comfort and amenities, the sky’s the limit for the 2019 Toyota Tundra. The full-size truck’s fabric-trimmed 40/20/40 split bench seats offer good comfort for long drives. You can also opt for stylish and comfortable bucket seats that offer convenient 10-way power adjustments for the driver. The top-of-the-line 1794 Edition features a warm two-tone interior featuring wood-like accents and brown leather with white stitching on the dashboard, armrest, and seating surfaces.

4. Plenty of driver convenience features

Despite its imposing size, the 2019 Toyota Tundra takes the intimidation factor out of driving with a few powerful aides. These features include a blind spot monitoring system, lane departure warning system and an integrated backup camera. Designed to automatically detect and slow down for other vehicles ahead, the 2019 Tundra’s radar-based cruise control system also gives you more confidence in heavy traffic. These features come as part of the full-suite of driver-assist features.

5. Rugged off-road capability

Choosing a 2019 Tundra with the available TRD Off-Road Package unlocks a host of features that’ll make any avid off-roader happy. With this package you’ll get an upgraded suspension with Bilstein^® shock absorbers and skid plates designed to protect the engine and fuel tank. You’ll also get 18-inch split five-spoke wheels shod with meaty all-terrain tires. There’s also the Tundra TRD Pro, which offers even more off-roading features including heavy-duty FOX shocks.
