Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | |
| Ground clearance: | 254 mm (10 inches) | 192 mm (7.6 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Toyota Tundra can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Toyota Tundra version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. Choose from four 4x4 versions of Toyota Tundra 2013 if off-road driveability is important to you. | |||
