The mighty Toyota Tundra has dominated the world of full-size pickup trucks for over two decades. The reliability and ruggedness of this durable truck are legendary. The 2021 Toyota Tundra only solidifies its reputation by offering improvements over older models.

1. Outstanding Workhorse Ability

Whether you need a reliable vehicle to help you traverse rugged trails or you need heavy-duty hauling and towing ability, the 2021 Tundra has you covered. Its powerful 5.7L V8 motor provides an astonishing 401 lb-ft of torque and 381 horsepower to help you tow up to 10,200 pounds with confidence and ease.

Even better, towing trailers down the interstate and parking will be a breeze thanks to the Trailer Sway Control system and reinforced construction.

2. Award-Winning Safety

One of the most important features of any vehicle is how safe it is. The 2021 Tundra does not disappoint. In fact, it is so safe, it earned the “Top Safety Pick” title from the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). Notably, it is the first full-size pickup truck to earn this title. One great safety feature you can expect from the 2021 Tundra is the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection.

This innovative system warns you with both visual and audio alerts if you are close to a collision with a pedestrian or another vehicle. If you don’t respond to the alerts, the brakes will apply automatically to prevent a collision. You will also be notified of unintended lane departures. Moreover, your high beams will be toggled based on ambient light levels. Furthermore, your 2021 Tundra will maintain a safe following distance even when cruise control is on.

3. Off-Road Tuning by TRD

The TDR Pro takes the 2021 Tundra’s astonishing off-road capabilities to the next level. Toyota’s world-famous in-house shop, Toyota Racing Development, tuned this model to handle comfortably and reliably on and off the road.

Fox suspension lifts the front of the truck by 2.5” and front-wheel travel is increased by 1.5”. The rear of this pickup truck is fitted with 2.5” piggyback shocks that can handle the roughest terrain smoothly.

4. Technology and Connectivity

Starting from the SR5 models, you can expect an 8-inch high-resolution touchscreen that allows you to access all of your infotainment options. This highly responsive touchscreen includes integrated navigation and destination assist and audio, so you can get wherever you need to go without taking your eyes off of the road.

Additionally, you can connect to Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and connect your smartphone. This allows you to access your favorite apps, play music, and make calls and texts without your hands ever leaving the steering wheel.

For over two decades, the Toyota Tundra has been a solid choice for a full-size pickup truck. The 2021 Tundra is no different. It handles rough, off-road terrain smoothly and reliably. It is incredibly safe and can tow over 10,000 pounds with ease. Swing by Rochester Toyota today to look at the 2021 Tundra and take it for a test drive.
