Review of the 2006 Toyota Tundra Pickup: Some Photographs, Distinctions, and Features and Specifications
By James B. Bleeker
The following table provides some product information on the 2006 Toyota Tundra.
The 2006 Toyota Tundra Photographs Deluxe Cab Ltd. 4x4 Edition Distinction, Features, and Specifications
Distinctions: + The 2006 Toyota Tundra is a 2006 Consumer Reports longer-bed-floor, greater-towing-capacity alternative to its Top Pick, the Honda Ridgeline, and is a 2006 Consumer Reports cargo-hauling-and-towing Pickup Truck Quick Pick. It has, based on three years of data, a CR 2006 predicted short-term reliability in the highest category, as does the Honda Ridgeline, although the latter prediction is based on only one year of data, a more tenuous predictor (as CR notes on page 82 of its April 2006 issue). It also has a "Good" score for front impact and an "Acceptable" for rear impact by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, sufficient to place it second in the institute's safety ranking of large pickup trucks (and may be tied for 1st place with Nissan's Titan, which has identical scores). It has, as well, a CR 2006 predicted owner satisfaction in the highest category. The 2005 Toyota Tundra was a 2005 Consumer Reports reliability Quick Pick and a 2005 Consumer Reports owner satisfaction Quick Pick. In addition, the Toyota Tundra has a 1997-2001 reliability percentrank average of .92, second only to that of the Toyota Tacoma.
