Toyota Tundra: American Made.

The Toyota Tundra is the most refined, over-engineered, secure-handling and powerful pick up in its class. Though designed by a Japanese automotive manufacturer headquartered in Toyota, Aichi, Japan, most of the vehicle is actually American manufactured! The new chrome grille featured on the beautiful Tundra was designed by Toyota Calty Studios in California. The various engines the different versions of the truck has to offer such as the 4.0 liter, 270 horse power V-6, the 4.6 liter, 310 horse power V-8, and the 5.7 liter, 381 horse power V-8, were all manufactured in Alabama.

Also, the transmissions included in the 2014 model of the Toyota Tundra were made in North Carolina. Though revenue from the vehicle sales goes directly to Japan, through purchasing the Toyota Tundra, you are indirectly supporting American jobs on American soil. “The Tundra is by percentages of content among the most American-made of full-size trucks.” says the Wall Street Journal. And, while other major car companies tend to fudge numbers about their towing capacities, Toyota uses a series of repeated tests to verify a certain towing capacity per model. In 2011, Toyota adopted the SAE J2807 towing standard.  

Along with being mostly American manufactured and providing customers with real and reliable information about towing capacity, the CrewMax Limited 4x4 Toyota Tundra can go 0-60 in 9.5 seconds, has an EPA fuel economy of 17 miles per gallon highway and has a verifiable towing capacity of 9,000 pounds.
