Toyota will stage the world debut of the new 2014 Tundra full-size pickup truck at a press conference at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show. The new japanese truck will see daylight in on Thursday, February 7.
The current Tundra debuted seven years ago at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show and faces tough competition Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra as well as the Ram 1500. The Tundra will also have to battle the redesigned Ford F-150 which was recently previewed by the Atlas concept.
The Tundra was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award and was Motor Trend magazine’s Truck of the Year in 2000 and 2008. Currently the Tundra is assembled in San Antonio, Texas, USA where production was consolidated in 2008.
The Tundra comes equipped with dual front airbags, front row side torso airbags, and rollover sensing side curtain airbags for both the front and rear rows. Vehicle Stability Control, traction control, anti-lock brakes, brake assist, and electronic brakeforce distribution are also standard. For the 2010 model year, a driver and front passenger knee airbag were also standard.
