Toyota Tundra
This full-size pickup offers the same engine options as the Toyota Sequoia. There’s a 310-hp 4.6L V8 and a 381-hp 5.7L V8. Drivers can choose between 2WD and 4WD, though the 5.7L V8 is only available on the 4x4 variant. Across the board, it’s equipped with a 6-speed transmission. The Tundra comes in regular or double cab configurations. The double cab model is the roomiest of them all in the category.
