Toyota Tundra Adds to Its Versatile Lineup With Two New TRD Packages



TORRANCE, CA UNITED STATES



DALLAS, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota's 2009 Tundra full-size pickup
truck will enhance its on- and off-road appeal with the addition of two new
option packages from Toyota Racing Development (TRD).

A new TRD Rock Warrior Package is specially tuned and equipped with
dynamic appearance features for off-road adventure and a powerful look,
while a new TRD Sport Edition Package is optimized for an aggressive street
appearance.

"Tundra continues to be among the leaders in the full-size pickup truck
segment in performance, durability, functionality, safety and value," said
Don Esmond, Toyota senior vice president, automotive operations. "These
attributes, along with two new and exciting TRD packages and 45 different
model configurations allow the Tundra to help meet the needs of a diverse
group of truck buyers."

The TRD Rock Warrior and Sport Edition packages add to Tundra's
versatile lineup offerings by appealing to image-conscious truck buyers. In
addition to the demand for traditional truck attributes, these buyers like
to reflect their personal tastes through a truck with a strong street or
off-road image.

The TRD Rock Warrior Package enhances the performance of the Tundra 4x4
with the addition of a tuned suspension and many performance and styling
enhancements, inside and out. The TRD Sport Edition Package adds an array
of unique exterior and interior features to give the Tundra 4x2 the look
and feel of a custom street truck. In addition to their styling and
performance attributes, both packages are built off of the value-driven
Tundra grade, providing buyers with an attractive price.

TRD Rock Warrior will be available exclusively on the Tundra grade 4x4
Double Cab (standard bed) and CrewMax equipped with the 5.7-liter V8
engine. In addition to its tuned suspension, the Rock Warrior is equipped
with Bilstein(R) shocks, TRD 17-inch forged alloy wheels with BF
Goodrich(R) All-Terrain T/A tires, color-keyed front bumper and grille
surround, matte-black rear bumper, fog lamps, black cloth interior with
manual bucket seats, accessory shift **** and pedal covers, and TRD Rock
Warrior side panel graphics. The Rock Warrior will come in two exterior
colors, Black and Super White.

TRD Sport Edition will be available on the Tundra grade 4x2 Regular Cab
and Double Cab (standard bed) with the 5.7-liter V8. The Sport Edition is
equipped with color-keyed front and rear bumpers and grille surround,
color-keyed heated outside mirrors, color-keyed door handles, fog lamps,
black cloth interior with manual bucket seats, accessory shift **** and
pedal covers, accessory 20-inch machined star five-spoke alloy wheels and
TRD Sport Edition side panel graphics. The TRD Sport Edition will be
available in two exterior colors, Black and Radiant Red.

Pricing for the TRD Rock Warrior and Sport Edition packages will be
announced closer to their launch in November 2008.
