Columbus Dealer Offers Award Winning 2012 Toyota Tundra

Online, November 23, 2011 (Newswire.com) - For more than a few decades ALG has been a company dedicated to analyzing the automotive market including creating benchmarks for residual value. Recently, Toyota's 2012 Tundra was named "Best Fullsize Pickup" by ALG based on its residual value. Germain Toyota of Columbus is proud to stock this capable and rugged pick-up due to the inherent quality of the Toyota brand. The 2012 Tundra leads the pack of "half-ton" trucks with improved brawny styling, 3 separate bed sizes, and an impressive payload.

In the past some have looked down upon the Tundra because it wasn't created by an American company, but those days are over. The 2012 Toyota Tundra can tow up to 8100 lbs (with towing package) and haul nearly 1600 lbs. To match its beefy physical capabilities, Toyota has aggressively sculpted the Tundra's exterior. With a square-shaped front bumper and downturned grille, truck-enthusiasts will be pleased with this muscular design.

Those living in Columbus and searching for the right truck can find exactly what they are looking for with the new Tundra due to a plethora of engine varieties. Fans of fuel economy and everyday drivability will favor the small 4.0-liter V6 which cranks out 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque. Toyota has also given drivers the option of 4.6-liter and 5.7-liter V8s which are rated at 310 and 381 horsepower respectively. Heavy-duty truck users can opt for the larger engines with four-wheel drive to haul or tow nearly anything imaginable.

Toyota's 2012 Tundra also brings three different cab sizes to the table. The midsize cab, which is known as Double Cab, has four hinged doors which allow passengers to access the interior with ease. The enormous CrewMax cab will have even the largest of drivers sitting comfortably and can fit up to 6 passengers. It should be mentioned that the Tundra is useable as a daily driver and work-horse due to the flexibility of its cabin design.

Germain Toyota of Columbus would also like to remind those looking for a new pickup that the Toyota Tundra has been awarded "Most Dependable Large Pickup, Six Years in a Row" by J.D. Power and Associates. Test-drivers will find trucks like Tundra and many more at Germain Toyota of Columbus. Find out more information at www.germaintoyota.net.
