The Toyota Tundra pulls like an angry bull and its mostly known achievement took place on October 12, 2012, when the unmodified truck managed to haul the Endeavour Space Shuttle.
Now, the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) recognized Toyota with its Distinguished Service Award for Toyota’s sole implementation of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J2807 tow standard on its trucks and SUVs, which includes the 2014 Toyota Tundra.
“Toyota owners look to us to develop vehicles that meet the highest safety standards, and our voluntary adoption of J2807 helps us deliver on that promise,” said Mike Sweers, chief engineer of the Toyota Tundra and Tacoma. “Tundra owners can tow confidently knowing that the published tow rating has been verified by the industry’s foremost engineering authority. With Tundra, what you see is what you get.”
