Two New Packages Include Tundra Platinum Package and Tundra Work Truck

Carson, Calif. – Carson Toyota is pleased to offer the 2010 Toyota Tundra – which comes with an array of enhancements – to its customers.

Value is enhanced on all 2010 Tundra models with the addition of standard and optional exterior, mechanical, safety and convenience features, including an all-new 4.6-liter i-FORCE V8 engine. Two new packages for 2010 include the Tundra Platinum Package and Tundra Work Truck.

The new 4.6-liter V8 engine is available on all 2010 model year Tundras. It features a DOHC aluminum alloy head with dual independent Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i). With 310 horsepower, 327 lb-ft. of torque and EPA fuel efficiency estimates of 15 mpg city and 20 mpg highway on 4x2 models, the new engine delivers the best combination of power and fuel economy estimates of any standard V8 in the full-size pickup segment. Like Tundra’s optional 5.7-liter i-FORCE V8 engine, the new 4.6-liter V8 is mated with a six-speed automatic transmission.

All 2010 Tundra models received a redesigned front grille and tail lamps. The Tundra grade has a new two-bar grille design and the Limited grade is equipped with a unique billet-style grille. Additional standard equipment on all Tundra models includes driver and front passenger knee airbags, height-adjustable headlamps, and a redesigned seven-pin towing hitch connector that sits above the hitch to help avoid damage during high departure angle driving.

The new 2010 Tundra Work Truck Package is aimed at commercial truck buyers or those who otherwise require a tough no-frills truck with exceptional cargo and towing capacity. The specialized trucks include vinyl seating and rubber flooring and are available in Regular and Double Cab configurations with a V6 or one of two V8 engines including Tundra’s powerful 381 horsepower 5.7-liter V8 with a towing capability of up to 10,800 pounds. Tundra models equipped with an optional work truck package will carry a price adjustment less than the truck’s standard MSRP. Price adjustments vary, depending on the model.

For buyers looking for a high level of refinement and convenience, the all-new Platinum Package is available on 2010 Tundra CrewMax Limited models equipped with the 5.7-liter V8 and Flex Fuel powertrains. The package contains an assortment of high luxury features such as heated and ventilated seats, sunroof, and wood grain trim.
