The Smartest Feature on the 2016 Toyota Tundra

Jun 4, 2016

When it comes to hauling, the 2016 Toyota Tundra has a feature that puts it above the rest. You can find out for yourself when you test drive the Tundra at McKinnon Toyota Dealer Montgomery AL.

Maintaining Power
To limit slip, many truck makers rely on an approach that involves throttle reduction. Truck drivers find that this takes away the power they need just when it is needed most. Instead of doing this, Toyota utilizes an automatic limited slip differential. This allows the Tundra to maintain its acceleration rate when other trucks are losing power to throttle-reducing traction controls.

Limiting the Slip
Drivers will feel more confident as the Tundra takes curves or climbs hills. The ALS differential helps the outer tires maintain the speed they need to match the inner tires each time the truck travels an arc. As the Tundra climbs a hill, the stability controls won’t have to cut throttle power because the ALS differential will work to maintain traction. Learn about pricing at McKinnon Toyota.

Performance
Two V-8s power the 2016 Toyota Tundra. Efficient low-rev torque is part of what makes each such a good partner for the worksite. That torque thrust won’t be cut back unnecessarily thanks to the automatic limited slip differential. The 5.7-liter V-8 kicks out 381 horsepower and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. The 4.6-liter V6 generates an efficient 310 horsepower and 327 lb.-ft. Whichever one you choose, you can be sure that it will maintain that power better thanks to the automatic limited slip differential.
