2015 Toyota Tundra Redesign - Obtaining undergone a considerable update for 2014, do not expect the Toyota Tundra to acquire its subsequent full revision till the 2020 model year. The truck may see some styling and engineering modifications inside the meantime, perhaps to get a model-year 2017 mid-cycle update.
Otherwise we would count on Toyota to eventually tweak the Tundra’s V-6 and V-8 engines with more fuel economy in thoughts, specifically within the face in the increasing federal corporate average fuel economy standards automakers are facing for the 2016 model year and beyond. A smaller turbocharged V-6 could grow to be the new base engine, with all powerplants benefitting from new technologies like variable valve lift, direct fuel injection, and an automatic stop-start function. A V-6 clean diesel engine might be supplied inside a coming model year that would probably be the fuel economy leader inside the line, however provide enough low-end torque to afford swift V-8-like thrust.
Toyota could stick to its personal lead together with the smaller sized Tacoma pickup and develop a committed TRD (Toyota Racing Improvement) sport truck version of your Tundra for off-road enthusiasts with a V-6 engine, assorted mechanical upgrades, and certain styling cues.
Beyond that a future Tundra generation could undergo a slight downsizing and make extensive use of lighter weight materials like aluminum to help additional enhance its fuel economy to meet the coming federal requirements. Even though we do not expect it within the close to term, one particular or extra heavy-duty versions of the Tundra could at some point be added for the lineup that would leverage the largest available V-8 engine for one of the most strenuous hauling and towing capabilities.
