As a rule, the best pickup trucks are made by Americans, but Toyota decided to challenge this statement by releasing the Tundra. This model was twice recognized as the best among analogues in 2000 and 2008. However, when buying it, you should take into account that the fuel consumption of a Toyota Tundra per 100 km will be 15 l+ depending on the cycle. But fuel costs are completely justified, because this SUV overcomes any obstacles.
Briefly about the model
The first models of the Toyota Tundra series were demonstrated in Detroit in 1999, already hinting that this pickup truck would properly compete with such a US company as Dodge.
Initially, the buyer was offered models with a V6 engine and a displacement of 3.4 or 4.7 and a power that ranged from 190 to 245. Gasoline consumption for a Toyota Tundra in the combined cycle on a manual is 15.7 liters of fuel. Considering such expenses, a fuel tank with a capacity of one hundred liters was provided.
The SUV collected a lot of positive reviews and was liked by consumers so much, that since 2004 the model range has been completely updated. At the same time, manufacturers abandoned 3.4 hp, focusing on 4.7 and 5.7 hp. in volume.
More information about the technical characteristics of the Tundra model range
As mentioned above, the first models of 2000 are significantly different from those currently being produced. However, all of them are on sale, and in order to know what the real fuel consumption of the Toyota Tundra is, we will consider these cars from the very beginning of their production.
2000-2004
The first cars had a V6 engine and were equipped with:
- 4 hp, 190 power, 2/4 doors, manual/automatic;
- 7 hp, 240/245 power, 2/4 doors/ manual/automatic.
Having such technical characteristics of the Toyota Tundra, fuel consumption per 100 km averages 15 liters. 13 liters in the extra-urban cycle were announced, but for those who like to drive fast, the consumption was 1.5-2 liters more.
2004-2006
Given the success of previous models, Toyota decided to further develop its pickup truck. Demand showed that the 3.4 models are not relevant, so the emphasis in the updated series was on power and volume. The six-cylinder engine remained, but its performance was increased to 282 hp and volume to 4.7. The Toyota Tundra's fuel consumption performance hasn't changed much. If speak about in the suburban cycle, then the expenditure is 13 liters per hundred kilometers. 15 – mixed. And up to 17 liters - in the city.
2006-2009
The model range of these years includes more than twenty variants of the Tundra. The 4.0 car was still available. The real novelty, however, is the V8 engine found on the 4.7 and 5.7 models. Such innovations have affected the fuel consumption of Toyota Tundra per 100 km.
Despite the fact that the costs according to the technical documentation have not changed since 2000, the actual consumption in the urban cycle reaches 18 liters.
This figure applies to owners of new cars with a displacement of 5.7 and a power of 381, who love a sharp start and high speed. The old 4.0 with manual transmission in the urban cycle has a consumption of 15 liters.
The following cars were available in this series:
- 0.236/270 power;
- 6, 310 power;
- 7, 381 power.
These models do not differ significantly from the previous ones. There are also no visible changes in fuel costs. According to owner reviews, real gasoline consumption for a Toyota Tundra in the city reaches 18.5 liters for 5.7, and 16.3 for 4.0. In the mixed cycle it ranges from 15 to 17 liters. Fuel consumption standards on the highway are considered to be up to 14 liters.
There were no significant changes, except for one. Since 2013, all cars have a five or six-speed automatic transmission. But, as in the previous series, volumes 4.0, 4.6 and 5.7 are available to the buyer. If we talk about consumption, then on an automatic it is naturally higher than on a manual. Therefore, the technical documentation indicated such figures per 100 km (arithmetic average for the model range):
- urban cycle – up to 18.1;
- suburban – up to 13.1;
- mixed – up to 15.1.
The Toyota Tundra is a full-size pickup truck that competes with the Ford F-150, GMC Siera, Chevrolet Silverado and Dodge Ram. The car is popular mainly in the USA. The car is produced in the USA, in Texas. The car was developed in 2000 on the Toyota Sequoia platform. In 2000 and 2008, Toyota Tundra was nominated for prestigious awards from the famous American magazine Motor Trend.
The Toyota Turndra is a classic body-on-frame pickup truck available in two- or four-door body styles. In basic mode, the car is rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive is engaged manually. The second generation Toyota Tundra has been produced since 2007, and in 2013 the model was restyled. The car received an appearance in the style of modern Toyota models.

Toyota Tundra owner reviews
Generation 1
- Maxim, Yaroslavl. My Tundra has everything you need for off-roading - a powerful 4.7-liter engine (power 270 hp), an energy-intensive suspension with long travel, as well as ground clearance of more than 200 mm and excellent smoothness. Despite the large number of cylinders and engine displacement, fuel consumption remains around 14 liters per hundred - I consider this figure normal for such a “heart”.
- Ruslan, Petrozavodsk. I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra with a 4.7-liter gasoline engine producing 282 horsepower. This engine is surprisingly economical for its displacement. In the urban cycle, this unit is very voracious, but within reason - even in traffic jams, consumption does not exceed 16-17 liters per 100 km. I'm very happy with the car. Excellent dynamics, it was not in vain that I purchased the version with such an engine. In the combined cycle, the 4.7-liter engine also consumes in this area - 16-18 liters per 100 km. If you skid heavily, for example off-road or in deep snow, then the consumption will increase to 18 liters. The noise is felt both outside and inside. Vibrations pass through the front panel, but this only adds emotion and adrenaline.
- Semyon, Tver region. The mileage of my Tundra recently exceeded 100 thousand kilometers. The car holds up well, despite its advanced age. The car was purchased in 2000, with a 3.4-liter engine, automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The car impressed in city driving, as well as in the suburban cycle and off-road. I mean fuel efficiency - the average consumption in the city reaches 14 liters, and outside the city does not exceed 11 liters per 100 km. Off-road it turns out to be 13-15 liters depending on the load.
Generation 2
Engine 4.6
- Oleg, Pyatigorsk. I have a Toyota Tundra with an automatic transmission and a 4.6-liter engine. The car is comfortable and dynamic, with an impenetrable chassis. The frame structure can withstand all road irregularities, and you can drive over speed bumps at a decent speed. By the way, in the city the car consumes 15 liters per hundred, and off-road it turns out to be 16-17 liters.
- Vladislav, St. Petersburg. I drive a 2008 Tundra, a car with a powerful 4.6-liter engine - its power is 310 horsepower. The automatic transmission improves the already excellent ride quality thanks to the energy-intensive suspension with long travel. This car is bought by wealthy and business people who do not need to prove anything. The car turned out to be very economical, and fuel consumption of 15 liters has remained almost unchanged since the start of operation - it fluctuates at the same level. A car with a spacious interior and a huge trunk. The suspension smooths out all the bumps and improves off-road capabilities. The powerful motor is designed for a long range.
- Igor, Kaliningrad region. I've owned many SUVs, and the Toyota Tundra is one of them. I drove it from 2010 to 2013. The car impresses with its dynamics and efficiency - I did not expect this from a powerful 310-horsepower engine. The car is absolutely not gluttonous for its segment - I consider the consumption of 14-15 liters acceptable for this class of car. For a person who decides to purchase such a car, high maintenance costs should not be a problem. After all, you need to weigh the pros and cons before buying this car. Actually, that's what I did.
Engine 4.7
- Rinat, Ufa. I've been driving a Toyota Tundra since I was a teenager. We already had a first-generation Tundra, but my father decided to exchange it for a newer second-generation Tundra, despite the similar design and equipment. The version with a more powerful engine was chosen - that was the point. But it consumes more - from 13 to 17 liters, depending on the complexity of the off-road.
- Mikhail, Moscow region. This car is not for showing off, but for business. I bought it specifically for off-road driving, and for the city I have a Toyota Corolla. I only owned cars of this brand. In general, I love Japanese cars. For what? Rather, for reliability and a developed dealer network, rather than for gluttony. For example, my Tundra with a 4.7-liter engine consumes more than 15 liters per 100 km. Perhaps this is its only drawback. Impressive dimensions don’t count, because thanks to them the car looks brutal, and in the city everyone lets me through.
- Nikita, Dnepropetrovsk. My Toyota Tundra has 75 thousand kilometers on the odometer, I have a 2012 version with a 4.7 liter engine, power – 276 horsepower. A car with plug-in all-wheel drive, a durable frame structure and excellent ride comfort. The car passes over any uneven surfaces without any discomfort - this is thanks to the long-travel suspension, as well as the high ground clearance. Fuel consumption is from 13 to 16 liters depending on the load.
Engine 5.7
- Vitaly, Priozersk. A worthy car for those who love off-roading and cannot live without it. Therefore, I believe that my choice in favor of the Toyota Tundra with a 5.7-liter engine is completely justified, despite the era of economical and environmentally friendly cars. The Tundra will be relevant for a long time, at least off-road. An engine with a power of 380 horsepower consumes an average of 18-19 liters per 100 km; on severe off-road conditions, consumption rarely exceeds 20 liters. Despite the large displacement, the cabin is relatively quiet. At idle you can barely hear the engine at all.
- Alexander, Belgorod. I rate the capabilities of the Toyota Tundra with a 5.7-liter engine as 5 plus. The car is no worse than any potential competitor, I mean off-road capabilities. Where the car is inferior to modern models is in fuel consumption - a 380-horsepower engine can easily consume more than 20 liters per 100 km, there is no need to be particularly surprised.
- Boris, Ryazan. A stylish and impressive car - it seems to show with its appearance what it is capable of. Thus, the car hints that it has a 5.7-liter unit with a capacity of 380 horses under the hood. So I decided to take this version so that the power matches the design, so to speak. Fuel consumption is 18-20 liters per 100 km depending on the load.
- Konstantin, Sverdlovsk. I bought myself a 2015 Toyota Tundra, a used car with the maximum configuration. The 5.7-liter engine provides hurricane dynamics; I simply did not expect such agility from an outdated naturally aspirated engine. At the same time, the engine consumes no more than 20 liters per 100 km - this is off-road, in the most extreme conditions. The automatic transmission reveals the engine's potential quite well, but at the same time it still takes away some of the power. Alas, you have to pay for comfort and pleasure. But there is still enough power in reserve, including when overcoming hills and climbs.
- Daniil, Perm region. The car is 2016, with a bunch of options and a 5.7-liter gasoline engine. The car is a beast, and no obstacles are afraid of it. Fuel consumption is within 15-20 liters depending on the load. The car is comfortable and spacious in all directions. The rear seats can be folded down. The car sets up for a dynamic ride, despite the large body rolls and long-travel suspension, as well as frightening rolls in corners.
- Mikhail, Novosibirsk. My Toyota Tundra has many disadvantages, but many more advantages. Actually, that’s why I bought this colossus. A stylish five-meter pickup truck with an extended wheelbase (four doors), in a top-end configuration, with a 5.7-liter engine and an automatic transmission, as well as all-wheel drive, consumes 18 liters per 100 km in the urban cycle. In deep snow it turns out to be 19-20 liters.

Toyota Tundra is a full-size pickup truck from Toyota Motor Corporation, which replaced the Toyota T100. Production of the model began in 1999 (2000 model series) and today continues in its third generation (since 2013). The model has repeatedly won the title of SUV of the Year. In Russia, official sales of the Tundra never began, but among buyers who did manage to purchase the model, the versions with 4.7 and 5.7 liter engines were in greatest demand.
Toyota Tundra 4.0 AT + MT
Rear-wheel drive versions of the car with an installed 4-liter AT and MT engine were produced from 2007 to 2013. They were equipped with pickup trucks with one-and-a-half and double cabs. Engine power until 2013 was 236 hp, average consumption was 12.8 liters (city - 13.8 liters, highway - 11.8). After 2013, 4.0 AT is installed on single and one-and-a-half rear-wheel drive versions of the Tundra. Now the 270-horsepower unit consumes up to 13.4 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle (14.7 - city, 11.8 - highway).
Gasoline consumption per 100 km reviews
- Pavel, Novgorod. Previously, there were 2 cars in the “arsenal” - one for the city and the second for long trips. But the purchase of the Tundra in 2010 changed everything - now there is only 1 jeep and there is no limit to the pleasure. I push the maximum on the highway and the consumption is no more than 13 liters. In the city it’s about 15-16 liters, depending on traffic congestion and driving style. I like the maneuverability and dynamism. I took it on an automatic transmission.
- Ivan, Moscow. I bought the car after the release of the new generation. Build in 2014 with a 4.0 engine with 270 horsepower. I'm not complaining yet. The machine is a rarity in our market, but we managed to get it through friends. A powerful pickup truck that requires up to 15-17 liters of gasoline in the city. If you drag in a traffic jam all the time, then all 18 come out. The highway pulls 13-14 liters. In general, a lot, but this one is definitely worth it.
- Alexander, Chelyabinsk. My father drove a 236-horsepower Tundra straight from Europe - a great birthday present. Inexpensive to maintain, obedient on the road, overall appearance is super. The main disorder is the beastly appetite: how the 4.0 AT engine manages to burn 18 liters of gasoline in the mixture is the mystery of the century. City - 20 liters, highway - 16. I feel that my nerves won’t stand it for long. Model 2008.
- Vladimir, Krasnoyarsk. The main disadvantage of the car is that it attracts too much attention (I’m talking about the constant phone pictures taken by passers-by). There are no complaints about the work, because the pickup earns back every ruble invested. Average fuel consumption as indicated in the passport is 15 liters in the city and 12 on the highway. But as soon as you start pressing on the gas, you instantly gain two liters.
Toyota Tundra 4.6 AT
From 2010 to 2013, the Tundra is equipped with a 4.6-liter engine with 310 hp. There are both rear- and all-wheel drive options to choose from. Since 2013, in the updated Tundra, the 4.6 AT engine receives the same 310 hp. with a mixed gasoline consumption of 14.7 liters. At the same time, fuel consumption in the city is 15.7 liters, and on the highway - 12.4 liters. The power plant is paired only with an automatic transmission. Acceleration to 100 km/h in 8 seconds, top speed – 180 km/h.
Fuel consumption rate - reviews
- Andrey, Ufa. It’s a pity that we don’t have and never will have official Toyota Tundras in our country - it’s a great car! I got myself a 2nd generation pickup truck produced in 2010 with a 4.6 AT engine. The 310-horsepower power plant pulls everywhere, and its power is felt every time you press the gas pedal to the floor. Gasoline consumption is 16-17 in the city and 13-13.7 liters on the highway. Average consumption in the combined cycle is 15-15.9 liters.
- Inna, Moscow. I agree, a pickup truck is not a car for women, but that’s my job. It just so happens that the Japanese make the best trucks. This time the Tundra is truly a reference pickup truck - a lot of space in the body, interior, high-torque engine. Consumption for the 2014 model is 16.5 liters in the city and up to 13.5 liters in suburban mode. All the photographic equipment easily fits in the back, and I don’t need more.
- Vladimir, Rostov-on-Don. By creating the Toyota Tundra, the Japanese decided to make all those who love to travel happy. Load everything you need into the back and go - any road will not be a problem for the Tundra. But the problem for the driver will be the appetite of the engine. If the car is loaded to the limit, then the 4.6 AT consumes 20 liters in the mixture and this is not the limit! Otherwise, this truck is a real rock solid. Mileage 40 thousand, model 2008.
- Slavik, Saratov. I bought myself a Tundra paired with a trailer. The car is new in 2013 after updating, 4.6 engine with automatic transmission. I tried for a long time to make friends between the trailer and the tractor, but I succeeded. I use the car at 100, but the power reserve is still too large - the manufacturer has gone too far. Consumption per half ton of cargo in a trailer reaches 14-15 liters on the highway. In principle, a lot, but a pickup is a pickup. Traveling without a trailer around the city takes up to 16.5 liters in the summer months, and in winter it turns out to be under 18.
- Taras, Naberezhnye Chelny. We don’t have many Tundras (and especially those with a 4.6-liter engine), and therefore I can confidently assure you that it’s difficult to achieve a consumption of 18-20 liters on this jeep. The maximum is 17, but that’s if you’re not reckless. Country mode - 14 liters is the limit. By the way, a jerk at a traffic light leaves puzzled looks on the faces of your rivals. I have a 2013 model, I bought the all-wheel drive version.
Toyota Tundra 4.7 AT + MT
The pickup's 4.7-liter engine in the second generation began in 2007 and continued until 2009. The power on rear- and front-wheel drive models was the same - 276 hp. Acceleration to the first hundred in 6.5 seconds, maximum speed - 200 km/h. Gasoline consumption with an automatic transmission in the city is 20 liters, on the highway - 13 liters, combined cycle - 15.8 liters per 100 km traveled. With a manual transmission, consumption is one and a half liters lower.
Reviews of fuel consumption per 100 km
- Akhmed, Krasnodar. I dreamed of a pickup truck since my student years. A dream came true - I bought a 2007 Tundra II. Rear-wheel drive, 4.7-liter power unit with manual transmission. It rushes like a tank on any road and in any weather conditions. For 100 km on the highway it takes 11-12 liters, and in the city around 18 liters. There are no breakdowns yet, now I use it for cargo transportation. When fully loaded with a trailer, the mixture yields 14-14.7 liters.
- Evgeniy, Samara. I now remember my 2008 Toyota Tundra (4.7AT) like a bad dream. At first I was disappointed with the dimensions (parking is a challenge), but then I got used to it. But I still haven’t come to terms with the consumption - it was promised 20 liters in city mode, but in practice it’s only 25, and this is in the summer! The highway at 100 km/h generally sucks up to 16 liters. In general, it’s not for nothing that this model is not brought to Russia - it’s not for our wallets.
- Dmitry, Moscow. An excellent jeep for Moscow - this one will not pass unnoticed anywhere. Large, roomy, powerful - exactly what they paid money for to bring it into the country. Model 2009, one of the last in the second generation. Consumption outside the city is 14 liters and around 22-22.5 in Moscow. In the combined cycle we rarely exceed 16-16.3 liters.
- Yuri, Voronezh. We took this one for trips into nature, fishing and long journeys for work. As expected, the consumption on the 4.7 AT engine is no good - 21-22 liters in Voronezh and, in fact, on the highway (where we mostly ride) 14-15 liters. Actually, we don’t really pay attention to gasoline, but in the winter, when we hardly use the car, we notice the savings well. Pickup from 2008.
Toyota Tundra 5.7 AT
This equipment is present in the 2nd and 3rd generations of Toyota Tundra and is still produced today. Since 2007, the engine power has remained unchanged - 381 hp. As before, there are all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive versions, working only with an automatic transmission. Fuel consumption according to the manufacturer in the city is 18.1 liters, on the highway - 13.1 liters and in the combined cycle - 15.7 liters. Maximum speed is up to 220 km/h, acceleration to the first hundred in 6.3-6.7 seconds.
Real fuel consumption
- Nikolay, Tula. I will be as brief as possible in my review. Consumption up to 22 liters in traffic jams. On the highway at speeds up to 160 km/h, exactly 14 liters are consumed. In general, a 100-liter tank allows you to cover 550 km without straining. The power of the car is simply off the charts, and this is with adequate consumption (the same Lexus 570 consumes up to 30 liters of fuel). The main disadvantage is that at speeds above 140 km/h the weight of the car immediately makes itself felt.
- Andrey, Belgorod. I love big cars, so the desire to get a Tundra is quite understandable. Assembled in 2013, all-wheel drive, 5.7 AT engine. If you don’t think about consumption and don’t save, then the city mode requires 20-21 liters per 100 km, and the highway with a full trailer at a speed of 100-110 km/h takes almost 19.5 liters. Quiet driving without a trailer between cities - 15.3 liters.
- Victor, Kharkov. My wife and I value comfort and power - that’s how we got the Tundra 5.7 AT straight from Germany. The enormous power of the engine, which is almost inaudible in the cabin, inspires respect. Gasoline consumption on the highway on such a monster is quite expected - 18.5 liters per hundred at high speed. In the city it is almost 22 liters. The main drawback is that it is difficult to park.
- Dima, Peter. I have driven almost 58,000 km on my Toyota Tundra and I can say for sure that it feels like a hurricane has settled under the hood. I get 100 kilometers in a measly 6 seconds, while gasoline consumption in the city and on the highway is adequate for the class of the car - 17 and 13 liters, respectively. Mixed cycle - around 15-16 liters. I took a slightly used version with a mileage of 13,500 km - the previous owner considered the pickup to be too long.
- Konstantin, Moscow. I bought the Tundra for long trips. Build 2015, 5.7 AT engine. It's a pleasure to drive this pickup truck. At a low speed of 90 km/h, the average fuel consumption remains at 14.5 liters on the highway. The city draws much more - under 20 liters. It was hard to get used to the dynamics, since 180 km/h feels like 80. The automatic transmission adapts to your driving style - this way you can save a liter or two per 100 km.
- Igor, Moscow. I bought the Tundra new at the end of 2012. During all this time there are no complaints, since there is not a single breakdown, I only change consumables and fill in high-quality gasoline/oil. There are no questions about consumption - 12-13 outside the city and 16-17 in Moscow (this is a quiet ride with no cargo in the trunk). Handles the road perfectly. Mixed consumption - 14 liters of gasoline.
This vehicle is a full-size pickup truck that the Japanese company began producing in 1999. It could have either a one-and-a-half or a double cabin. In total, two generations of Toyota Tundra were produced. Each of them also had one restyling. The car was not officially imported into our country, however, there are people who want to buy it abroad and bring it home.
Official data (l/100 km)

1st generation
The first generation Toyota Tundra was equipped with two six-cylinder gasoline engines. The younger one had a volume of 3.4 liters. At the same time, it produced power up to 190 horsepower. Fuel consumption per 100 km according to the passport was 13.4 liters. The second engine had a rather large volume - 4.7 liters. Here the power indicator reached 245 horsepower. Here the gasoline consumption was 14.4 liters. Both versions were controlled by either a four-speed robot or a five-speed manual transmission. All-wheel drive was installed everywhere.
After restyling in 2003, this range expanded somewhat. An intermediate option was a four-liter unit with a capacity of up to 236 horsepower. It only came with rear-wheel drive. Fuel consumption here was 13.9 liters. The 4.7 liter engine received several variations, which differed only in power. It could now produce 245, 271 or 282 horsepower. The same gearboxes were used everywhere, only now they were five and six-speed, respectively.
“Before buying this car, I used two cars - one for the city, the other for long trips. But now I can only safely use this one, since it is comfortable, roomy, and powerful. Yes, and it was not profitable. The Tundra consumes 20 liters of fuel in the city, which is exactly the same as the previous two cars. But this one is also distinguished by its high cross-country ability, which is also important for me,” said Nikolai from Stary Oskol.
“The car is very rare, but I was lucky enough to find it and buy it. I took it from my hands, but in very good condition. The previous owner rarely drove because he could not feed the car. But I have long dreamed of such transport, so a consumption of 20 liters in the city does not scare me at all. I travel very often, enjoying these wonderful moments. The car, although large, is powerful and handles well. Therefore, it is excellent both for the city and for long trips,” said Konstantin from Moscow about the model.
“I had to go to Japan to get this model, fortunately getting there from our city is not a problem at all. I didn't pay that much money for the car, I expected a lot more. But I received just an excellent copy, especially for our roads. Powerful engine, all-wheel drive, automatic transmission. All this allows you to very quickly reach high speeds and move perfectly where there are no roads at all. This is exactly why the car was purchased, since I am a big fan of fishing. The bad thing is that if something breaks, a lot of money will be spent on repairs, since the parts are rare and expensive. As for consumption, it is quite normal for such a car - 19 liters,” reports Arkady from Vladivostok.
“A great car for both the city and long trips. But most of all it is suitable for off-road use. It has a very powerful engine and all-wheel drive, allowing you to never get stuck at all. In addition, the interior is well made. There is a lot of space, and the functionality is simply amazing. But there are also disadvantages. The first is a lot of attention from passers-by. The car is large in size, which is impossible not to notice, since it stands out very much in traffic and from the crowd. Well, the second is high maintenance costs. A powerful unit needs to be fed a lot and with high quality - 98 gasoline in the amount of 20 liters,” Stanislav from St. Petersburg wrote about the car.
“Relatives from Europe gave me a car. Such cars are not uncommon there, but here we have a real sensation. I was the only one in our city who had something like this, so they won’t recognize it soon enough. You won't be able to hide somewhere, the size is simply enormous. But this does not prevent the car from showing excellent acceleration and control on any road surface and even on its absence. I often go fishing, and on such trips the car performs best. The salon here is large and comfortable, a lot of things fit in. But all this is expensive to maintain. Fuel is consumed by 25 liters in the city and 17 on the highway,” writes Boris from Vyazma.
2nd generation
The second generation of the car appeared in 2007. There are also some changes in configurations here. The most modest engine is now a four-liter, which has not changed in any way since the last generation. Following it was a new product with a volume of 4.6 liters. It produced 310 horsepower and was controlled only by an automatic transmission. But the drive was installed full or rear. Fuel consumed here was 14.1 liters. The 4.7-liter unit again received constant power, which is 276 horsepower. It came with both gearboxes and both drives.
The most important innovation is a huge 5.7-liter eight-cylinder unit. This volume allowed it to produce 381 horsepower. The unit was equipped only with an automatic transmission, but with both drives. The average consumption of this version is 15.8 liters. There is also an option with a single cabin. It featured the same engines as the other modifications, except for the four-liter unit.
A restyled version of this version has been in production since 2013 and is still in production. From previous engines, only 4.6 and 5.7 liter units remain here. Their characteristics remained the same. Another type of body with a one-and-a-half cab appeared - Long. It, like a regular semi-truck, also had a four-liter engine with a capacity of 270 horsepower and a robotic transmission. It consumes 13.6 liters of fuel. There was no 4.6 liter engine for the single cab.
Engines that consume diesel have never been installed on the model.
“I recently became the proud owner of this car. I was looking for a normal option for a very long time. Now I'm happy with what I have and wouldn't trade my car for anything. It is perfect for the city and for long trips, which I often make. I have a lot of relatives who constantly need to bring something, and this car can almost load another car. The motor handles any load and always shows excellent speed. But there is one drawback that is quite understandable - high fuel consumption. I’ve never spent less than 20 liters,” said Denis from Krasnodar.
“As part of my job, I have to transport a lot of equipment. I didn’t want to buy a truck, so I turned my attention to the pickup truck market. There were many problems with the American version, so I chose the Japanese one - Tundra. It looks great and is very roomy. My engine is the weakest, since I don’t need high speed and maneuverability, but I’m not going to give up low consumption. My device spends 14 liters,” said Elizaveta from Moscow.
“The best car for those who love to travel. That's why I took it. Every weekend my wife and I try to visit a new city. All our things fit perfectly in the trunk, and you can spend the night right in the cabin, which is characterized by increased comfort and convenience. The powerful motor always works like a clock and, under any load, pleases with speed. Also, during the entire time we did not have a single breakdown. We spend a lot of gasoline, about 20 liters, but we don’t mind it at all,” wrote Yaroslav from Kazan.
“I got this car purely by chance. But I’m glad it happened because it’s a very good car, very reliable and powerful. I like to race in the city with sports sedans, which then sadly watch the pickup truck moving away from them. There is so much stupidity nowhere else. Of course, you have to pay dearly. Consumption reaches 21 liters,” wrote Dmitry from St. Petersburg.
“I had to use this machine for some time. I really didn’t like it, because I couldn’t get used to the size and consumption of 25 liters in the city,” reports Anton from Samara.
Toyota Tundra is a pickup truck created by the large Japanese company Toyota Motor Corporation since 1999. In appearance it looks more like an American car. During its entire production, the model twice deserved the title of best year and 2000 North American 2008 truck.

Feedback from owners about consumption
- Anton, Kostroma. Toyota Tundra 5.7 AT 2008. The car is excellent and greatly surprises with its comfort. The noise insulation is also good - you can’t hear any noise from the streets. Just what you need for highway driving. Consumption is within 15-16 liters outside the city and 25 liters in the city. This is the norm for a wonderful engine. The only trouble is the huge dimensions of the car for driving in the city. There are especially problems with parking.
- Mikhail, Sevastopol. The car is easily indestructible. Especially the 5.7 AT engine - with dual control and good valve timing power. The 2008 Tundra pulls excellently, even if you put a fishing boat or ATV in the back. Fuel consumption is good, for a pickup truck I think it is completely normal - in the city about 23-24 liters, on the highway no more than 14 liters.
- Vladimir, Tambov. Toyota Tundra 5.7 AT 2010. In my opinion, there are basically no problems in such a car. A very practical and wonderful pickup truck, it can normally pull 3.5 tons, and that’s not the limit. Excellent cross-country ability, drove on various types of roads and drove everywhere without any trouble. The salon is easily huge and ergonomic. It consumes an average of 18 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers; in winter, it goes without saying, more - about 20 liters.
- Alexey, Moscow. I bought it new, at first I had doubts, but now it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. By and large, there are no issues with the transportation of cargo. Driven in my own Toyota
2008 Tundra both forest and soil. The 5.7 engine pulls normally, and there is also too much power. Along with this, it eats very little for such power - in the municipal cycle it is 23 liters, on the freeway there have been 15 liters, but for the most part it is 13 liters.
- Igor, Ivanovo. Toyota Tundra is a real man's car. You won't find this kind of power in any pickup truck. It accelerates in 6 seconds, and also consumes 13-14 liters on the highway, 22.5-23 liters in the city. Haven't encountered any problems so far. The only thing that can be classified as a shortcoming is its poor maneuverability in small spaces, especially difficult to park.
- Valery, Moscow. So far I have not complained about anything during use. The car is unpretentious in maintenance, and most importantly - inexpensive. Before that there was Infinity and Sequoia. Compared to them, the Tundra 5.7 AT is superior in many respects. Good cross-country ability, good acceleration dynamics on the highway. The speed is kept at 5 plus, similar in the city. It consumes an average of 19-20 liters of fuel.
- Andrey, Peter. Toyota Tundra 5.7 AT 2007. Not a car, but a fairy tale. During the ride you feel with great confidence - you fill up with 92 and go. Consumption is 24 liters in the city and 14 liters on the highway. The interior is ergonomic, despite the fact that the plastic and quality of the leather are not very good. But everything is compensated by a wonderful engine - high-torque (pulled about 4 thousand kilograms). Passability at height, taking into account reduced and blocking.
