The half-ton pickup from Toyota received a good upgrade in February 2013 as a 2014 model. There were big changes, more on the inside than on the outside.
The entire front end of the 2014 model Tundra was changed. A higher grille and hood, larger fenders and oversized bumpers were on the list. There were few choices of designing that grille, depending on the trim level. It could be chromed or black with grey. From the side, the cabin looked the same as the model before the facelift. The Double Cab models were offered with a standard 2.0 m (78.7”) bed or long 2.5m (97.6”) configuration.
The interior was brand new. A new dashboard, new center console, and new instrument cluster, which featured a small display for the on-board computer. It had a nice graphic, a step towards a complete TFT display. On the center console, the infotainment unit could be paired with a Bluetooth device and it could be upgraded with a premium JBL sound system. Since the Double Cab was designed as a daily driver for a contractor or a family vehicle, it was offered either with a bench or a two bucket-seats option. In the rear was plenty of room for three passengers.
Under the hood, the same engine range was kept, starting with a 4.0-liter V6. The top version was the 5.7-liter V8 unit. All engines were mated with a 5-speed automatic transmission that featured a switch on the lever for manually selecting the gears. The Tundra was offered as a 4x2 or 4x4 with low-range gear.
