WHAT MAKES THIS TRUCK GREAT
If you’ve ever climbed a mountain or picked up a National Geographic you know ‘Everest’. One of the most challenging mountains on the face of the earth, Everest is a once in a lifetime, risk life and limb type of Mountain. This climb is one of the most physically demanding things to climb in our lifetimes. This Tundra for us was explicitly built for maximum payload and functionality, which means a lot of suspension and drivetrain upgrades. He is comfortable digging deep and is willing to meet any challenge head-on despite his ½ ton stature. Built for fun AND hard work, this powerhouse keeps moving with its 5.7-liter V8 and 5.29 gear ratio, putting out 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque.
