AutoExec Summary
Toyota Australia is close to confirming the launch of its full-sized Tundra pickup, with 300 examples currently being tested in Australia as part of the Tundra Insider Program. The trial has been successful, with minor issues addressed. The Tundras are shipped in left-hand drive from the US and converted to right-hand drive by Walkinshaw Automotive Group in Victoria. The remanufacturing process includes modifications to various components, but the vehicle’s underpinnings and suspension remain unchanged. The hybrid model features a twin-turbo V6 petrol engine with a motor generator and nickel-metal hydride battery. Toyota plans to launch the Tundra in Australia, pending final approval from the parent company.
