Subject: 1.0 - What is the Toyota Tundra ?

History - The Toyota Tundra is Toyota Motor Corporation's second attempt at 
producing a full size truck for the American marketplace.  It's predecessor is 
the Toyota T-100.  (The T-100 never really took off in the American market due 
to two primary reasons:  A V6 Engine was the biggest you could get, and the 
truck was not made in America, so it was subject to heavy import tariffs.)

Prototypes of the Tundra was released to Toyota Motorsports particpants (PPI 
Racing with Ivan Stewart, and Rod Millen Motorsports) in 1998, starting rumor 
mills worldwide as to the possible replacement of the T-100.  It first began as 
an engine upgrade to the existing T-100 racing variant from a V6 to a V8.

Publically introduced in it's closest current form at various motor shows from 
1998 to 1999, the Toyota Tundra was originally called the "T-150".  Caught in a 
blizzard of bad press from both Ford Motor Corporation (who thought it would 
confuse people with the F150) and automotive critics, the name was changed to 
Tundra.  To read an article on the T-150 and see pictures of a concept T-150, 
the New England TTORA (Tacoma Territory Off Roader's Association) has a copy of 
the article at http://webm3233.ntx.net/putnam/ttora/junk/t150.htm .

The 2000 and 2001 model year Tundras are half ton, full size pickups.  They can 
be purchased in the following combinations:

2dr 4x2 Regular Cab Base 
2dr 4x2 Access Cab SR5 
4dr 4x2 Access Cab SR5 V8 
4dr 4x2 Access Cab LTD V8 
2dr 4x4 Regular Cab SR5 
2dr 4x4 Regular Cab SR5 V8 
4dr 4x4 Access Cab SR5 
4dr 4x4 Access Cab SR5 V8 
4dr 4x4 Access Cab LTD V8 

All Tundras share the same frame and wheelbase, therefore, only a limited 
number of configurations are available compared to other manufacturers.  There 
are no larger configurations with heaver payload capacity.

Subject: 1.2 - What's different in the 2001 and 2002 model year Tundras ?

According to the postings at www.tundrasolutions.com, the following changes 
will be available for the 2001 model year Tundras:

New standard bed-rail caps for all Access Cabs

Tailgate Cap in the regular bed PU. Improves the truck's appearance and 
protects the bed finish.

Painted rear bumper on 4x2 BASE models standard, so now all Tundras will have a 
standard rear bumper.

V6 models are now built with upgraded alternators (from 70 AMP to 80AMP) and 
all V6 Tundras will all have 50 State emissions. 

There is also a new full color-keyed package available on the Limited models 
(front grille surround, front bumper, lower valance, and rear bumper). 

SR5's available with premium 3-in-one 6-disc in dash changer (like 2000 Limited 
EJ codes). 

OF (offroad package cars) can be ordered on a 2WD SR5 now.  (This means that 
there will be a PreRunner type package for the Tundras, just like the Tacomas.  
Ed.)

Two new exterior colors available: silver sky metallic and desert sand metallic 
(deleted are platinum metallic, golden sand, and autumn red mica). 

MSRP increases an average of 1.7 - 2.0%. 

Option pricing changes are minimal due to the introduction of "value packages" 
for certain models. 

"Destination Charge" on the MSRP is renamed: "Delivery, Processing, and 
Handling Fee".

According to some 2001 Tundra owners, the rear seat also has additional padding 
for a slightly improved seat angle.

The 2002 Tundra has some minor color changes, and the Limited Slip Differential 
option (code LD) will be available for SR5's as a standard option without ABS.  
Code LD can be combined with other options if you factory order it.

Subject: 1.3 - What is the Sequoia ?

The Toyota Sequoia is a Sport Utility Vehicle that will be based on the Tundra 
frame.  Originally shown in various automotive shows in 1999 and 2000, the 
Sequoia will be larger than the 4Runner, and is roughly the same size as the 
Land Cruiser.  Average Retail List will be around $35000.  The Land Cruiser 
will still be around as the "ultimate" Toyota SUV, however, due to it's 
all-wheel drive and it's reputation.  Toyota has mentioned that it will not 
discontinue the Land Cruiser to make way for the Sequoia.  At this time, there 
is no planned Toyota Racing Development Package for 4x2 or 4x4 Sequoias.

Engine components and driveline components will be similar to the Tundra.  The 
Sequoia shares some of the same sheet metal (hood, front doors, front quarter 
panels, etc) with the Tundra.  The Sequoia does have a more active drivetrain, 
complete with slip detection and traction control.  The Sequoia also has 4 
wheel disc brakes.

Be aware that some dealerships at this time of writing may and can charge up to 
$10,000 extra for a Sequoia due to demand.

Subject: 1.4 - How Safe is the Tundra ?

Pretty safe for a full size Truck.  According to the National Transportation 
Safety Board, the Tundra gets a four out of five star rating for the driver, 
the passenger gets a three out of five star rating.  

The ratings are generated from a test in which a real Access Cab Tundra was 
crashed into a fixed barrier (it's a concrete wall) at 35MPH.  The test dummies 
inside the Tundra are then taken out, and insturmentation inside the test 
dummies are then analyzed as to how hard the crash was to the occupants.

The star rating denotes that the driver will have a 11-20% chance of a serious 
injury, and the passenger will have a 21-35% chance of a serious injury (the 
2001 has equal ratings for driver and passenger of 11-20%).  The ratings take 
into account the following items:

- Probability of a head injury
- Probability of a femur (leg) fracture
- Probability of a chest injury

On 6/4/01, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated the Tundra the 
safest full sized light truck.  The IIHS uses a 40mph offset crash test, which 
is different from the test that the NTSB uses.

For more information, view the NTSB web site at www.ntsb.gov, or the IIHS at 
www.hwysafety.org.

Subject: 1.5 - Is it an import, or is it an American truck ?

The Tundra's engine parts and some other parts are probably the only thing that 
is assembled in Japan.  The truck itself is assembled in a new multi-million 
dollar facility in Princeton, Indiana.  According to Toyota's web site, the 
engine is produced in West Virginia and will be produced in a new facility 
somewhere else in the United States.

The reasoning for assembling the truck in the United States is two-fold.  One 
is to avoid the large import tariffs that occur when you import something from 
Japan.  BMW did something similar to make their new X-series SUV, and 
Mercedes-Benz (now DaimlerChrysler) did the same thing to make their ML320/420 
series.  The second is to appeal to American buyers, who are one of the most 
loyal truck buyers in the world.  The "Buy American" statement can now be 
applied to the Tundra.

Subject: 1.6 - What is TRD ?

TRD stands for Toyota Racing Development.  They are a semi-independent design, 
engineering, production, and marketing arm of Toyota.  Working hand in hand 
with Toyota Motorsports, TRD produces and distributes parts that can be added 
to your Toyota vehicle that increases the performance, handling, looks, etc of 
any Toyota vehicle.

Many vehicles, the Tundra included, come from the Toyota factory or distributor 
port with some of these TRD Parts installed.

There are three offshoots of TRD.  One is L-Tuned, a specific arm of TRD that 
handles nothing but Lexus modifications.  Lexus is the luxury arm of Toyota 
Motor Corporation.  The other is Kazuma, which is the professional racing parts 
distribution arm of TRD.  The third is TRD Sport Parts, which is the "common" 
TRD Parts distribution arm.

One big side benefit to TRD parts is that if you purchase TRD parts and have a 
dealer install them, the parts will be covered under the balance of your 
manufacturer's warranty.

You can reach TRD at www.trdusa.com.  Kazuma can be found at 
www.kazumaparts.com.  TRD Sport Parts can be found at www.trdsportparts.com.  
L-Tuned can be found at www.l-tuned.com.

Subject: 1.8 - What is this Tundra Double Cab that I am hearing about ?

The Tundra Double Cab is similar in concept to the Tacoma Double Cab that was 
introduced in the 2001 Model Year.  Slated for possible release in 2003 (for 
the 2004 model year), the Tundra Double Cab is still in the conceptual stage.  
Various sources within the Toyota Internet Community (thanks to Dianne Whitmire 
from Carson Toyota for the information !) have confirmed that this version of 
Tundra will exist soon.

The FAQ will release details about the Tundra Double Cab as they become 
available.

Subject: 2.0 - Buying a Tundra

Buying any vehicle is a personal process that this FAQ will not get into very 
much.  Some buyers may have their own personal Toyota dealership that they have 
a relationship with, others may choose to do so online.

Also, some packages may not be available in some regions.  Be aware that what 
you find and price on the internet may not actually be available in your area.
