Toyota Tundra: Horsepower and Torque

The 2017 Toyota Tundra gives you two awesome engine options.

If you go with the i-FORCE 4.6L V8 engine, you'll get 310 horsepower and 327 lb-ft of torque. That's more than enough muscle to get the job done, and to get it done right.

You could also go with the i-FORCE 5.7L V8 upgrade. This really takes thing to the next level, as it'll deliver up to 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. The only question that remains is, can you handle it?

2017 Tundra: Fuel Economy Ratings

That's the good news. The great news is that the Toyota Tundra doesn't achieve such performance at the sake of efficiency.

The Tundra's most efficient-friendly configuration can achieve 13 city MPG, 18 highway MPG, and 15 combined MPG.*

Those are the type of numbers that'll have you saying "adios" to the gas pump and "hola" to saving lots of money.

Toyota Tundra: Towing and Payload

Next, we have towing and payload. Obviously, these two factors could be very important to anybody who's considering a pickup truck.

When equipped with the i-FORCE 5.7L V8 upgrade, the 2017 Tundra can tow more than 10,500 pounds!† It's the state-of-the-art technology, like outboard-mounted shocks, a heavy-duty TripleTech™ frame, and a trailer hitch with 12 high-strength bolts, that make such a figure possible.

Additionally, the Tundra has a maximum payload capacity of over 1,500 pounds. Not bad at all!

High-Tech Vehicle Safety Systems

Finally, let's look at the various safety systems for the 2017 Toyota Tundra. After all, what's more important than keeping you, your passengers, and your load safe?

Here's an overview of some of the most important features:

• Blind Spot Monitor
• Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
• Star Safety System™: Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Anti-Lock Brake System, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Brake Assist, and Smart Stop Technology

†Before towing, confirm your vehicle and trailer are compatible, hooked up, and loaded properly, and that you have any necessary additional equipment. Don't exceed any Weight Ratings, and follow all instructions in your Owner's Manual. The maximum you can tow depends on base curb weight plus the total weight of any cargo, occupants, and added vehicle equipment. "Added vehicle equipment" includes additional standard/optional equipment and accessories added by the manufacturer, dealers, and/or vehicle owners. The only way to be certain of your vehicle's exact curb weight is to weigh your vehicle without passengers or cargo.
