When the new Tundra was first launched in January 2007, it was available in 31 configurations, which consisted of 3 bed lengths, 3 cab configurations, 3 wheelbases, and 2 transmissions. It was the first full-size pickup awarded a "Good" score, its competitors from Ford and Dodge were rated "Poor" and in the case of GM's entry "Marginal". The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) rated the Tundra "Good" overall in their frontal offset crash test. The package included special badging and unique 18-inch wheels. Only 2000 V8-powered Double Cab models were produced.
TOYOTA 1999 TRUCK SERIES DRIVER
In 2006, the Darrell Waltrip Edition was marketed to honor the NASCAR driver and his participation in the NASCAR Truck Series. 650 were sold in the US as 4x2 and 200 were sold in Canada as 4x4. It included a TRD performance package, "T3" badging, blacked-out grille and trim pieces, special 17-inch wheels, and T3 limited interior trim. In 2003, the T3 Special Edition was sold in conjunction with the release of the Terminator 3 movie. With a towing capacity of 6,900 lb (3,130 kg) on the Double Cab and 7,100 lb (3,221 kg) on Access Cab and Regular Cab models with a V8 engine, the Tundra still did not have enough power to compete with the heavier-duty offerings of the Big Three.

The 5-speed manual gave way to a 6-speed manual, and a 5-speed automatic replaced the 4-speed. A new engine was introduced in 2005: a 4.0 L V6 rated at 236 hp (176 kW 239 PS) and 266 lb⋅ft (361 N⋅m) of torque, and the existing 4.7 L V8 was updated with Toyota's VVT-i variable valve timing technology and was rated at 282 hp (210 kW 286 PS) and 325 lb⋅ft (441 N⋅m) of torque while the 2006 versions were rerated at 271 hp (202 kW 275 PS) and 313 lb⋅ft (424 N⋅m) of torque.

Its bed was nearly 5 in (127 mm) longer than the competing Nissan Titan or Ford F-150. The Tundra Double Cab, also added to the lineup in late 2003 for the 2004 model year, was a crew cab with four rear-opening doors, with interior and exterior details copied from the Toyota Sequoia. The grille was updated in 2002 (for the 2003 model year), along with a new Stepside bed available on Access Cab models. The V6 supercharger is still available, the V8 supercharger ended production once Toyota released the updated VVT-i equipped 4.7 L engine. TRD introduced a second supercharger for the V8 (2000-2003 models) engine late into its second year of production that increased to the mid 300 hp (224 kW 304 PS) range and torque to the 400 lb⋅ft (542 N⋅m) range. A Toyota Racing Development (TRD) supercharger was already available for the 3.4 L V6 (2000-2003 models) that bumped power to the 260 hp (194 kW 264 PS) range and 260 lb⋅ft (353 N⋅m) of torque. It was assembled in a new Toyota plant in Princeton, Indiana.Įngine choices available in the Tundra were a 24V 3.4 L V6 engine that produced 190 hp (142 kW 193 PS) and 220 lb⋅ft (300 N⋅m) of torque and an LEV certified 32 valve 4.7 L "i-Force" V8 engine that produced 245 hp (183 kW 248 PS) and 315 lb⋅ft (427 N⋅m) of torque.

At its introduction, the Tundra had the highest initial vehicle sales for Toyota in its history. With a production capacity of 120,000, sales were double the rate of the T100. The Tundra was slightly larger than the T100.
