2019 Toyota Tundra Review

Anyone in West Des Moines, Des Moines, and Grimes in the market for a new pickup truck should consider the 2019 Toyota Tundra. This truck provides its drivers with both a tough, well-built vehicle that can handle any task you need it to perform, and comes with various configurations and features that allow you to customize the vehicle to your personal needs and desires. 

Here are just a few aspects of the Toyota Tundra that the team here at Toyota of Des Moines wanted to share with you to help with your research of this impressively designed truck. 

Powerful Engine Options in the Tundra 

Each of the three engines that you can choose to have in the 2019 Tundra come with innovative technologies for top performance and loads of power. The standard 4.6L i-FORCE V8 comes with Acoustic Control Induction System and Dual Independent Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence. With this 32-valve engine, the Toyota Tundra will have 310 horsepower and 327 lb-ft of torque. 

There are also two available variations of the vigorous 5.7L V8 engine, one that uses regular fuel and another that has E85 Flex Fuel Vehicle capability. Both options will deliver 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. 

Controlled Handling and Performance 

As you enjoy the thrilling rush of power that is supplied by the engine in the truck, the 2019 Toyota Tundra will also give you a controlled and dynamic driving experience along any road. 

The Automatic Limited-Slip Differential will apply brakes to the individual wheels that have no traction. So instead of cutting the engine’s power, this will allow you to still effectively use the robust output of the Tundra that is needed while keeping the traction and stability that is needed as well.  

The 2019 Tundra comes with a rear-wheel drive system and also has an available 4WDemand part-time 4WD system with Active Traction Control. The Active Traction Control will optimize your traction even more across both the front and rear axles to give you great grip on slippery surfaces.

There are also a handful of available features you can opt for from various shocks, suspensions, wheels, and much more to give the Toyota Tundra exceptional off-roading capabilities. 

Capabilities of the Toyota Tundra 

Depending on the configuration of your Tundra, this sturdy and stout pickup truck can tow over 10,000 pounds and carry a payload of more than 1,700 pounds, thanks in part to the heavy-duty TripleTech™ frame it is built with. So, whatever job or project you need to get done, or equipment you are bringing with you on your next adventure, you will be able to easily do so with the 2019 Tundra. 

And, to help you safely and easily navigate while towing, the Tundra also has Trailer-Sway Control along with the available TOW/HAUL Mode and available Integrated Trailer Brake Controller. 

These innovative features help you tow with confidence by automatically braking, keeping everything stable at all times while driving, and utilizing the power needed. 

Stay Safe in All Situations 

Along with the innovation added to the 2019 Tundra in terms of your safety while towing, it also has advanced features to keep you safe in other scenarios as well. 

The 2019 Toyota Tundra comes with the Toyota Safety Sense™ P system that is a suite of driver-assistive technologies that will give you alerts and warnings to stay aware of your surroundings and can even take over other systems in your truck to help you safely avoid any hazardous situations. 

Within Toyota Safety Sense™ P, the Tundra will have the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection that will alert you if there is a potential collision and even apply brakes to reduce your speed and avoid hitting a vehicle or pedestrian in front of you. 

Its Lane Departure Alert with Sway Warning System is also extremely helpful as it aids you in staying on your intended path and within the safety of your lane on the road. This intuitive safety system also features Automatic High Beam and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control to bring you even more confidence while driving. 

Enjoy Your Drive Inside the 2019 Tundra

The cutting-edge technology featured in the 2019 Toyota Tundra goes beyond keeping you safe. The truck also has features that will keep you and your passengers entertained.

There are various upgrades to the Entune™ multimedia system in the Toyota Tundra that offer even more features. With the available HD Radio™ and SiriusXM® Satellite Radio, you can access even more options when it comes to listening to music, news, and more.
