2015 Toyota Tundra

The 2015 Toyota Tundra ranks 5 out of 6 Full Size Pickup Trucks. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Toyota Tundra, as well as reliability and safety data.
Test drivers say the 2015 Toyota Tundra offers roomy body styles and impressive off-road ability, but lags behind more modern rivals in terms of ride quality, fuel economy and interior refinement.
The 2015 Tundra comes with a 4.6-liter V8 engine or a more powerful 5.7-liter V8. Reviewers say the larger V8 is responsive and has ample power. They add that this engine is well-paired with the Tundra's standard six-speed automatic transmission, which shifts smoothly. The base Tundra gets an EPA-estimated 15/19 mpg city/highway, which is low for the class. The Toyota Tundra has a firm ride and controlled handling, reviewers say. They’re impressed with the new TRD Pro trim, which they think offers great off-road prowess and the most comfortable ride on pavement of all the Tundra trims. Reviewers caution that the Tundra's brake pedal is sensitive, but they like its responsive steering and are pleased that the Tundra feels smaller behind the wheel than it actually is.
Some critics comment that the 2015 Toyota Tundra's cabin features hard plastic surfaces, and that rival trucks have better interior build quality. The Tundra Double Cab has plenty of rear-seat space and the CrewMax cab has an impressive amount of rear legroom, test drivers say. Standard features include a rearview camera and Toyota's Entune infotainment system with Bluetooth, a USB port and a 6.1-inch touch screen. Options include navigation, a JBL audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control and a power-retractable rear window. Reviewers wish there were more USB ports in the Tundra’s cabin, and some dislike that the climate fan on upper trim levels is controlled with a button that must be pressed repeatedly to increase fan speed.
