The 2014 Tundra has been impressing drivers since it was first released. This is an excellent truck for families as it has four doors and seating for five people. It also offers a great deal more comfort that the previous models, although the standard engine is the same. That standard engine, however, has been on the road for several years and proven that it can get the job done efficiently and effectively.
Just like its manufacturer, Toyota, the 2014 Tundra has already been the recipient of many awards from a range of sources. Kelley Blue Book, IntelliChoice, and Cars.com are just some of the companies that have given awards to the 2014 Tundra for its value, performance, and durability. IHS Automotive has pointed out that 80 percent of Toyotas that were sold within the previous 20 years can still be found on the road, and it offers a similar accolade for the 2014 Tundra.
