TORRANCE, Calif. - Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., announced manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRP) today for the Tundra full-size pickup, which arrive at dealer showrooms today.

All new for 2003 is a StepSide model that blends a new dimension of style to the ruggedness, responsiveness, ride comfort and refinement owners have come to expect in their Tundra.

The Tundra StepSide is designed to reach out to full-size pickup buyers who want to add a little flair to their trucks. The StepSide comes in an Access Cab and is available in SR5 and Limited grades and in 4x2 and 4x4 configurations. It houses the sophisticated 4.7-liter i-Force V8 engine that delivers 240 horsepower and 315 lbs.-ft. of torque.

What sets the StepSide styling apart from the rest of the Tundra lineup is the addition of a StepSide bed with distinctive tail lamps. The tail lamps pull back over the rear wheel arches for a sleek appearance. The StepSide interior bed width between wheel wells and the bed length remain the same as a regular Tundra bed, while bed depth is increased by nearly two inches.

Tundra receives numerous enhancements for 2003 including a re-designed front fascia with a grille that extends down into the front bumper and round fog lamps that convey a more aggressive appearance. On the SR5 grade, the front fascia and grille are color-keyed with chrome accents, while the Limited grade is completely color-keyed.

Value is enhanced with the addition of new 17-inch alloy wheels as standard equipment on Limited and SR5 grades equipped with a Sport Suspension Package. The Limited also includes a new power sliding rear window. All Tundra models will now feature Anti-Lock Brakes as standard equipment.

Inside, Tundra receives as standard equipment a new multi-function center console, AM/FM/CD audio on the SR5 grade and steering wheel audio controls on the Limited grade.

The MSRP for Tundra 4x2 models range from $15,955 for the V6 five-speed manual Regular Cab to $27,705 for the V8 automatic Limited StepSide Access Cab. MSRP for Tundra 4x4 models range from $23,755 for the V8 automatic SR5 Regular Cab to $31,045 for the V8 automatic Limited StepSide Access Cab. Tundra prices, including enhanced equipment levels, have increased by $333, or 1.4 percent above last year's prices.
