Earning two distinguished titles in 2000 let that cat out of the bag. So the question is - where can an award-winning truck go from here? Put the 2003 Tundra to work and you'll find out. Whether you're towing, loading, commuting or pleasure cruising, you'll experience better performance and more comfort than you thought possible from a full-size pickup. So where does an award-winning truck go from here? Just about anywhere you want.
Building a truck better from the ground up naturally starts with Toyota's advanced engineering. The result? The 2003 Tundra - one truck that excels in all areas of performance. For starters, its available 4.7-liter 245-hp* i-FORCE V8 is the only double overhead cam (DOHC) 32-valve V8 ever offered in a full-size pickup.
There's no lag time with this powerplant - when you get on it, you're gone. What's more, the i-FORCE V8's advanced design helped the Tundra become one of the first full-size pickups to achieve low emission vehicle (LEV) status.
Tundra's no slouch in the corners either. Its variable-assist power rack-and-pinion steering provides excellent response on the highway and provides an extra boost during low speed maneuvers and parking. The coil-spring double-wishbone independent front suspension and the long leaf spring rear suspension offer excellent wheel travel. Along with gas-filled shock absorbers, this advanced suspension system can transform a rough road into easy street.
Tundra’s interior may have you wondering if you’re still in a pickup, but why not add a little luxury to your workday? Certain models include available features like adjustable contoured captain’s chairs (with driver-side power), a 60/40 split-bench seat with fold-down center console armrest and a kickin’ 3-in-1 6-disc in-dash CD changer.
Along with aerodynamic multi-reflector headlamps and available 5-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, the 2003 Tundra's exterior offers features like available chrome front/rear bumpers.
