Towing
Of the multiple Tundra options to choose from, 22 of them can tow over 10,000 pounds. All models equipped with the 5.7-liter V8 engine come with the TOW/HAUL Mode, which holds lower gears longer to reduce excessive gear shifting.
Transmission
All Tundra trims have a six-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission with intelligence, which is equipped with sequential shift mode and uphill/downhill shift logic.
Fuel Economy
Even though the Toyota truck offers great power and performance capabilities, the 2016 Toyota Tundra can still achieve EPA-estimated 19 mpg on the highway.
