AutoExec Summary
Toyota Australia is optimistic about launching its Tundra large pick-up locally, with more details anticipated by the end of this year. Sales and marketing head Sean Hanley shared that 300 vehicles are currently being trialled on Australian roads, with 280 sold to customers and 20 retained for internal use. The Tundra Insider Program began in November 2023, with all vehicles delivered by April 2024. Participants were selected from existing Toyota customers experienced in towing. The US-built Tundras, remanufactured in Melbourne to right-hand drive, are the only genuine hybrid in their class. The trial has been successful, and Toyota expects to receive approval for a full launch. Pricing is expected to be $145,990 plus on-road costs, with a full-service lease option available.
