Default TRD introduces 504hp Ironman Tundra

The good news is that you can buy one at your local Toyota dealership!






Ivan “IRONMAN” Stewart needs no introduction to off-road racing fans. His credentials are off the charts
with over 83 career off-road race wins and a record seventeen Baja 500 wins!

What does Ivan drive? A Toyota Tundra…but not just any Tundra; this is a 504+ horsepower brute with 550
ft/lbs of torque that’s built to his exacting preferences. The best part? You can drive one too.

Announcing the Ivan “IRONMAN” Stewart Signature Series Tundra. Like the man himself, this limited
edition Tundra is the strong, capable and confident type that stands out in a crowd of “posers.” It is handsdown
the most powerful, limited production four wheel drive truck ever offered through any dealership. “I
wanted to build a truck that I would be proud of; one that I will drive myself” comments Ivan. This is no
pretend-race truck covered with badges and embarrassing stickers. Each component was personally
selected and approved by Ivan and they come from the industry’s best; Bilstein, Alcoa, Magnaflow, General
Tire, TRD, Hurst and more.

Program Director, Ron Flint, states “Working with Ivan to design and build these vehicles has been a
dream come true for me and our team. Ivan delivers qualities you don’t come across very often anymore;
things like integrity, loyalty and respect that is earned because of his character. He also loves to go fast
and have fun. My goal was for these vehicles to reflect his personality and impressive capabilities”.

While not an official Toyota program, Ivan’s trucks will only be available through select Toyota dealers
beginning August 1st. The Signature Series vehicle line-up will also include TRD supercharged FJ Cruisers
and Tacoma Trucks. Each is offered in three Stages of build and all are assigned limited edition serial
numbers.

In just a few months there will be an on-line Ivan IRONMAN Stewart Toyota Enthusiasts Club and Owner’s
Registry that will bring you all the latest on Ivan’s off-road adventures, feature stories, reviews of Toyota
vehicles, events and more.

Saw it in person (also the Tacoma and FJ). Very nice looking truck. The head lamp overlays are VERY nice (slightly smoked finish). The shift **** was also quite nice. The wheels are somewhat refreshing too, though I'm not a fan of chrome.

The SRP of the Stage 1 was a bit scary though... not sure if I can discuss that part =P

A TRD S/C typically will break you even or drop 1-2 mpg. We have someone getting a real world read out, so we'll know in a few more weeks.
