The Tundra offers two engines: a sophisticated double-overhead-cam, 32-valve 4.7-liter V8, and a 3.4-liter double-overhead-cam V6. The V8 produces 245 horsepower and 315 foot-pounds of torque. All V8 models come with a four-speed automatic transmission. The standard V6 is rated at 190 horsepower and 220 foot-pounds of torque. It comes with a choice of four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission

Prices vary widely, starting at $15,605 for a regular-cab base model with rear-wheel drive, a V6 engine and five-speed manual transmission. At the opposite end of the spectrum, a V8-powered Limited four-wheel drive Access Cab lists for $30,060.

Base models are pretty plain, and come only with the regular cab and two-wheel drive. Bumpers are painted, and even air conditioning is a $985 option.

Access Cabs and 4x4 versions start at the SR5 level, with air conditioning, cruise control, AM/FM/cassette stereo, tilt steering, tachometer, chrome bumpers, styled wheels, and other trim upgrades.

Limited models are available only with the V8, and only with the Access Cab. The Limited's already long list of standard equipment has been upgraded for 2002 to include ABS, daytime running lights, an in-dash CD changer, keyless entry, and an anti-theft system.
