2011 Toyota Tundra 4x4 Double Cab

Buying a new truck is a big decision. Especially when buying a Toyota Truck, you can rest assured it will last for years to come. The durability and long lasting engineering put into every Toyota ensures it won’t fall apart under the stresses of the work you put it through day after day. So, when it comes time to pick out your new model, do you need cab size or bed size?

First up is the regular cab, providing standard seating for two people and a full size 78.7” bed. For those that want the extra seating, the Toyota Tundra comes with added options in the Double Cab or Crewmax options. The Double Cab’s bed is still full size and comes with 34” of leg room in the back. Compare that to the Crewmax and its 44.5” of leg room in the second row, and you can see where the difference might come in. The problem, though, is that if you opt for the Crewmax, your bed size will be shortened to just 66.7”, dropping a full foot of hauling capacity from your truck.

So, it’s important to know whether you need more room for people or stuff. For families out there that need to move children as readily as sheetrock and lumber, the double cab or Crewmax options are a must. For workers who spend most of their time alone in the truck, a regular cab can definitely get the job done and with the option for a long bed model, you can even upgrade your truck to a whopping 97.6” of hauling space.

The Toyota Tundra is the company’s full sized pickup option and a fantastic tool for millions of workers around the globe. However, there are a number of wonderful options available that go above and beyond the basics anyone can enjoy on their new Tundra.

To start with, you can upgrade to the Crewmax edition, available with full second row of seating and a bed that provides optimal hauling capacity. Beyond the larger interior, the Crewmax comes in many different layouts, including the 4×2 Crewmax for city driving and basic hauling or the 4×4 editions that provide either a 4.6L V8 or a larger 5.7 L V8 (optional FFV where available). The Limited edition comes with many new standard features like auto dimming mirrors, power puddle lamps, and front tow hooks.

The Tundra is designed to be whatever you need it to be. So, if you need raw hauling capacity, the larger engine and more powerful torque of the 5.7L V8 Engine offers everything you need to get where you’re going as fast and smoothly as possible. For those that need to haul as many people as possible, the Crewmax cab provides full seating for 5 people and plenty of room in the back to load up on supplies.

Whatever your decision, know that Toyota has the truck configuration you need to get the job done. Start with the Tundra and you know you’ll have everything you need for years to come.

One of the most important things a truck should do is haul things. After all, most people who purchase trucks – especially full sized models like the Toyota Tundra – are interested in hauling large objects. Not only do you need the bed to stand up to tons of lumber, dirt, gravel, or other objects that you’ll be moving back and forth, but if you hitch up a trailer or another vehicle, you want your truck to pull it like a champion.

The Tundra comes standard with a 4.0 Liter V6 engine and 270 Horsepower with 278lb of Torque at 4400 RPM. That allows for a lot of towing. However, for those that have heavy duty needs for their truck, the Toyota Tundra can be upgraded to larger and more powerful models including a 4.6L V8 or the 5.7L V8 with 381 horsepower and 401lb of Torque at 3600 RPM. At that level, your truck can haul almost anything and is designed to control just as easily as a big rig.

With standard four wheel anti-lock brakes, front and rear 13.9” and 13.6” ventilated disc brakes and a powerful steering system designed for big loads, the Tundra will last through essentially anything you throw its way.

The goal of a good truck is to make your job easier. With a Toyota Tundra, you can rest assured that the towing capacity of your truck will provide everything you need from the smallest trailer hitches to the largest bed loads of building materials for your next big project.

The Toyota Tacoma is a top pick for entry level compact pickup trucks. However, sometimes you may feel you need the extra space and hauling capacity offered only by the Tundra – the full sized alternative. So, when is it time to make the upgrade? Let’s take a look.

The Toyota Tacoma is designed for simple hauling. It has a 73.5” bed length, only about six inches shorter than a full sized Tundra, but it does not offer the extra-long bed option if you need to haul extra items on your next trip. It also provides a good amount of power under the hood, but is limited to the 4.0L V6 at the highest level. Four wheel drive and hill start assist are also available options for those that plan to haul heavy objects long distances, but if you need to pull a multi-ton trailer, a larger truck may suit you better.

The Tundra, for those that need the extra power, has an available 5.7 V8 with a good amount of horsepower to get you where you need to go. Additionally, you can opt for a much longer bed to haul more lumber, gravel, sheetrock, or whatever else you happen to be moving from day to day. Where the Tacoma is a great small project truck, the Tundra is perfect for big time workloads, whether for a major project on your property or for your day job on a construction site.

Choosing your next truck can be tough, so make sure you sit down to consider exactly how you will use your new vehicle. By doing that, you’ll know much better what features and options you really need.

When choosing your next vehicle, the first thing on your mind should be where you live and how you will use your new car, SUV or truck. Many times, if you don’t think this through in advance, you may not get everything you want out of your new vehicle.

To start with, do you live in the midst of the city or do you live outside a city where you must drive a lot? Even if you live in a city, if you commute a decent distance, keep that in mind. Hybrids are fantastic in city driving and a car like the Prius is compact enough to move deftly through traffic and park almost anywhere.

However, if you live further away, outside the city and have a larger family, you may want to opt for a highway friendly SUV or Crossover like the Highlander or Venza – both sporting EPA estimated fuel economy of 20 MPG or better.

For those with big weekend projects or out of town excursions, don’t forget the Tacoma and Tundra truck models, or the 4Runner SUV which are all perfect for hitting the trail for a weekend or hauling in fresh supplies from the lumber yard. Even a smaller SUV or truck offers the extended space and durability you need to get everything you need done in your home.

If you’re interested in buying a new Toyota vehicle, make sure to spend at least some time examining which options you have and what you’ll use your vehicle for – it will make a big difference in how you approach the car buying process.

The Toyota Tundra 2011 is a beast of a truck. Not only has the Tundra been called “The most dependable large pickup” for five years in a row in J.D. Powers and Associates’ Vehicle Dependability Study, but it is also strong, tough and adaptable. Part of that adaptability comes in the three options for cab size: the Regular Cab, Double Cab and Crewmax.

The Regular Cab seats 3 and has a host of storage spaces, from upper and lower glove boxes to a plethora of space behind the driver’s seat: enough to stash a 5-gallon paint bucket with the seat all the way back.

If you’re not just hauling cargo, but children or workers or everyone in between, then you’ll love the 3 extra seats—and extra cab space—that comes with the Double Cab. In addition to the roomy cab, the standard double cab also comes with a number of features that the Regular Cab doesn’t. These include a rear underseat storage box, variable intermittent windshield wipers, power outside mirrors, tachometer and outside temperature gauge, cruise control, power windows, door locks and remote keyless entry system, fold-up rear seat, carpeted flooring, and child-protector rear door locks.

The Crewmax takes the rear seat space given the Double Cab and elongates it, providing a whopping 44.5 inches of leg room in the second row. And your crew will have plenty of space to spread out. The Crewmax features the only slide-and-recline rear seat in its class. And it’s versatile. The 60/40 split rear seat slides, reclines and folds flat to form a hard work surface. In addition to all the features of the Double Cab, the Crewmax also has a power vertical sliding rear window with privacy glass and heated power outside mirrors.

As far as full-size, ½ ton pickups go, the Tundra is not just part of the conversation; it is the conversation. Here are five ways the Tundra can upgrade your truck capacity:

It’s got power. The Tundra Crewmax 4×2 5.7L V8 can tow up to 9,900 pounds—that’s about 5 tons—with a maximum payload capacity of up to 1,665 pounds. The V8 engine outputs 381 hp and 410 lb.-ft. of torque: enough power to perform pretty much any task.

It’s adaptable. No two truck owners are created the same, which is why the Tundra has three available engines: a 5.7L V8, a 4.6L V8, and a 4.0L V6. Oh, and for all of those engines, the torque response is on tap across a wide range of rpm. The reason – Toyota’s engineers designed the truck with drivers like you in mind.

It’s all about towing. Not only can it tow a lot, the Tundra’s unique three-frame design called TripleTech™, which maximizes the strength and durability of the truck. The V8 models with the available Tow Package also come with the hitch receiver integrated into the frame, providing increased towing strength.

Tundra gives you big box capacity. The cargo bed is 22.2 inches deep: enough height for 5-gallon paint containers to fit under the rails, even with a tonneau cover. Not only is there room, there’s also flexibility in Toyota’s Deck Rail System, which will help you secure many types of loads.

It gets top marks for safety. In three crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), Tundra came out on top, and in fact, was the first full-size pickup truck ever judged a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS.

If you’re looking for a full size pickup that really packs a punch, the Toyota Tundra may very well be just what you’re after. With plenty of power and all kinds of body and bed options, the Tundra is as powerful and as versatile as any vehicle in its class. Add to that the impressive safety features available on the Tundra and it can be tough to see why you wouldn’t want to own this top of the line pickup.

You can get either a regular, double or CrewMax cab on your Toyota Tundra. Both the regular and double cabs can be paired with either a 6 ½ foot or eight foot bed, and the CrewMax comes with only the 5 ½ foot bed.

However, if you want both the size up front and the long bed, you’re likely to be perfectly satisfied with the double cab and eight foot bed combination. That’s because the crew cabs of most other vehicles in this class are about the same size as the Tundra’s double cab. This gives you the space for extra passengers up front and ample hauling capacity in the rear.

The Tundra won’t be left behind when it comes to engine specs either. The various Tundra models offer a variety of engine options, with a 5.7-liter, 381 horsepower V-8 with 401 pound-feet of torque available for all models. No matter what kind of work you have in mind, you can rest assured knowing that your Tundra is more than up to the task.
