The Tundra Full Size CrewMax pick-up is equipped with a 5.7 liter V8 engine which will provide a towing capacity of over 10,000 pounds.

"As we are always looking to support racing at all levels, Toyota is proud to be associated with Pedregon Racing as they compete for the NHRA POWERade Funny Car Championship. The NHRA is a great venue to expose the all new Tundra and the Sequoia Full Size SUVs to the NHRA fans where they can see the trucks in action with the team", said Mark Amstock, Toyota's National SUV and Minivan Market Planning Manager.
Cruz Pedregon already knows what it's like to have Toyota's support; Toyota has been the chief engine supplier for Cruz's midget car race program for the past year. And with a win at last week's Kokomo race, the Pedregon’s couldn't be more proud of the Toyota powered Advance Auto Parts/Q Power midget car team. "In my racing career, I've been fortunate enough to align myself with good people and partners, and Toyota fits in with that strategy. I'm really pleased to expand this alliance with Toyota," stated Cruz Pedregon.
Tony Pedregon, 2003 NHRA Funny Car World Champion, is honored to be on-board with Toyota, a leader on the track and in the passenger vehicle market, and looks forward to help promote their brand. “I am proud to have Toyota partnering with Pedregon Racing and I look forward to helping promote the Tundra and Sequoia brands to all of our race fans,” stated Tony Pedregon. “The first time I got behind the wheel of the new Tundra, I was thoroughly impressed with how smooth it drove with all that power.”
