The Toyota Tundra is a major game changer in the full-size pickup segment. We at Chicago North Side Toyota Scion strongly believe this based on the Tundra's efficiency, ease-of-drive, utility and all around popularity here in Chicago, IL and the rest of the U.S.
And, speaking of which, in the state of Texas, where the Toyota Tundra is produced, the Auto Writers Association has recognized it for being the only full-size pickup truck to remain compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineers' stringent J2807 tow standards, all on its own.
"Toyota owners look to us to develop vehicles that meet the highest safety standards, and our voluntary adoption of J2807 helps us deliver on that promise," explains, chief engineer of the Toyota Tundra and Tacoma, Mike Sweers. "Tundra owners can tow confidently knowing that the published tow rating has been verified by the industry’s foremost engineering authority. With Tundra, what you see is what you get."1
Another incredibly exciting facet of Toyota's towing lineup is that each and every towing-equipped new Toyota model has official certifications that deem them J2807-compliant, as well. Even the Toyota Sienna minivan can say this, with pride.
And, it's not just the towing-poundage that is taken into consideration, either. Rather the vehicle's engine, transmission, cooling system, axles and structure are also weighed when considering whether or not they meet J2807 standards.
If you'd like to learn more about the Tundra, Toyota's other towing-equipped vehicles, or even just great everyday driving-machines like the Toyota Camry, then we at Chicago Northside Toyota Scion invite you to visit our dealership and Toyota service center, any time.
