Toyota calls for revision to about 160,000 Tundra pickup trucks
Toyota Tundra
The National Administration for Safety in Road Traffic of the United States (NHTSA by its acronym in Spanish) has pointed out that Toyota Tundra has a call to review nearly 160,000 Toyota Tundra pick-ups manufactured between 2003 and 2005, to turn off the switch of the front passenger airbag. Apparently, Toyota has not complied with the latest safety regulations, under which all vehicles equipped with automatic switches to disable air bags in case of a child in front, also must riding LATCH attachments for seats. Disable the switches is much cheaper for Toyota Tundra to install additional fasteners in all the vans available, so it will be left front airbags activated at any time.
Toyota asked NHTSA an exception in his case, but on June 28 was rejected their plea. The call for review will commence in September, after which Toyota Tundra has in his disposal all the components necessary to proceed with the "repairs" forced. Once off the switch of airbags, they always shoot in case of accident, no matter who has an adult sitting in the front passenger seat or not. Under the law, baby seats can not be installed in the front seats that do not have a system that will deactivate the front airbag if it is occupied by a small child, so in that way, Toyota will force parents to legally keep their children in rear seats (which are safer).
Although the cost of repairs, according to Detroit News, at a cost of Toyota Tundra $ 100 per hour of work and taking into account that the repair will carry two hours, the total Toyota Tundra could reach $ 16 million (12.5 million euros ). The 2006 models will come with the switch off series.

Appreciates a hybrid Toyota Tundra
Toyota Tundra
Toyota Tundra is investigating hybrid propulsion for its next version of the Toyota Tundra pickup. Toyota Tundra While the cheap energy Toyota Tundra that offers a hybrid is attractive to owners of pickup trucks, as long as it lasts is not well suited to tasks such as towing. The company is aware that the potential duration is a concern in hybrid systems, although it seems that could be alleviated with the use of battery packs bigger and heavier, that would not be practical in a passenger car. Taking into account the use of most of the vans in the range of half a ton of cargo, added to the fact that most Toyota Tundra models are far apart in terms of power and economy Toyota Tundra models to 10 or 15 years ago, it seems that there is a gap for the commitment of benefits for users oriented economy.

Corolla, HD Tundra and FJ Cruiser Convertible, the new Toyota for the EMS
Toyota Tundra
Still ahead three and a half months until the start Toyota Tundra SEMA 2007, and Toyota already busy with new developments going to be presented at the largest fair of tuning the world. Because despite being centered around an event on manufacturers of accessories and the possibilities for customization of individual vehicles exposed, the Japanese will take not one, but three models to Las Vegas, led by the new Corolla 2009. The current Corolla sold in America and that more should be retired, but remains popular, hence the delay in launching his baton. To not vary, will be introduced in sedan body, but could also be a coupe / Hatchback. In addition, we have no doubt that Toyota Tundra TRD will have at his post until a version hit the top and with 2XXL tire size, as befits the EMS.
Also present at the exhibition will be the Toyota Tundra in its "heavy duty" for those looking for a robust pickup and power for towing what it takes. Possibly its diesel engine will be courtesy of Hino, the truck manufacturer Toyota Tundra, despite the fact that according to Popular Mechanics most of their engines are too big. Because at the moment is only a conceptual concept, Toyota may take some leave, but if the size becomes a problem too seriously, perhaps helping hand from Toyota Tundra 4.5 V8 diesel that is developing.
Finally, Toyota plans to complete its trio of new developments in Sin City with the Toyota Tundra FJ Cruiser Convertible, armed with a removable roof and the same aesthetic daring as ever. Since the work of designing a cabriolet from scratch is a remarkable technical and economic investment, it is very possible that this model will occur, perhaps with a body similar to that shown by some version with canvas roof.
Let's see if with a little luck, Toyota and porta are beginning to drop the first sketches in the coming days (photos do not wait until as recently in a month).

TRD Toyota will have a version of its Tundra in the EMS
Toyota Tundra
So far Toyota has had to walk with their heads mush in the United States at the inability to cope with local competition with its Toyota Tundra. However, if the pickup concept above is a preview of things to come, maybe the people of Aichi is not going to have to continue putting face of circumstances when their customers ask dealers in a van to carry more than sacks.
The image above corresponds to an ad scanned from the latest issue of AutoWeek magazine, and shows a Toyota Tundra prepared by Toyota Tundra TRD especially for the EMS. It has a custom suspension, 37-inch tires on rims, 17, and a front adecentado with a barbecue and a special paragolpes much stronger among other elements. The power required to move the trailer that is behind the pressure provides a version of the 5.7 V8 engine standard, capable of producing Toyota Tundra 500 hp (soon seems that Toyota will offer the option of upgrading their customers Americans).
Mike Levine, of pickuptruck.com, also said he heard rumors of a diesel double cab version, though still waiting for official confirmation. This what this Toyota Tundra, camera in hand we will be in the EMS, so you can expect a good collection of photos from the exhibition.

Pre-SEMA 2007: Toyota Racing Development Tundra Double Cab Off-Road Concept
Toyota Tundra
While Toyota will present at the SEMA 2007 Toyota Tundra pickup truck diesel, we doubt that it has the style and visual presence of "modelito" from up here. Because the Racing Development Toyota Tundra Double Cab Off-Road Concept, plus a huge name, has several features to forget about fuel economy.
The concept truck has a box of nearly two meters long, a new front fender and almost 20 cm wider, all elements that combine to give this version looks much more aggressive than the current Toyota Tundra. The supercargador Toyota Tundra that is coupled to the V8 engine of Toyota Tundra 5.7 liters, means that power is raised to Toyota Tundra 500 horses, and a 17-inch wheels with BFG tires, 31 inches do suffer the pavement in its wake. That adds a suspension capable of supporting the trailer shown in the photo is of 8.5 meters and weighing 4.6 tons, which, as we know, contains the entire catalog of products with which kids will try to surprise Toyota Tundra EMS assistant to the public. Toyota Tundra Anyway, something makes us suspect that the van will take all the attention.

SEMA 2006: Toyota Tundra TRD Street Concept
Toyota Tundra
And here we have a winner in the category of pickups this year. The Toyota Tundra did not have any accessory customization outlined in the EMS, but Toyota wanted to make it clear however that his truck may be what is most interesting with a little help. A layer of red paint that simply grabs the hearing, suspensions reduced, a grill cleaner and some larger tires to make this special truck, but it is certainly its Toyota Tundra 5.7 L V8 engine pressure which makes stress on the pile . Toyota Tundra has not provided their performance data, but in theory the Pressure of Eaton and intecooler your air-water should provide some very interesting benefits. This engine will be put up for sale in the United States in autumn 2007.

Spy photos of Toyota Tundra
Toyota Tundra
The site Edmunds has a spy photo of 2007 Toyota Tundra. Although Ed Hellwig believes that the Toyota Tundra will have a design that's more conventional FTX Concept of the Hall of the Detroit Motor Show this year, we see that the Toyota Tundra will have a greater resemblance to the concept that as soon as expected. Please note that photos clearly show the defenses side to a level lower than the line of the chest. This is very similar to the concept Toyota Tundra FTX. The next Toyota Tundra will be much larger than the current one, and its large size will be accompanied by a great style. Of course, we can not say, because the vehicle is quite camouflage.
