I’ve been wondering lately… are pickup trucks the new family vehicle? Now, hear me out. In the past, pickup trucks have been known for people to use as their companion on job sites. When we look at the Tundra and the Tacoma today versus these pickups from just a decade ago, a lot has changed. Yes, their appearance might be the most noticeable but these pickups now have more features and innovations to keep your family safe and entertained when you’re all packed inside ready to hit the road.

Below you will find the reasons why we think pickup trucks have now become the new family vehicle!

Power: Whether you choose to drive the Tacoma or the Tundra, power is something that comes easy under the hood of these pickup trucks. How does that tie into your family? Well, when you pack up for the yearly camp trip or for a day at the lake and you need to tow some gear – you need a powerful pickup to get you there. Trust that the Tundra and the Tacoma can do that for you. The Tacoma is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 and the Tundra with options like the i-Force 5.7L V8 or the i-Force 4.6L V8. So, don’t worry no matter what type of activities your family loves, these pickups will help get you and your geat there.

Safety: This is a big step up from previous pickup trucks. With the standard Toyota Safety Sense™ P, your family’s safety is taken very seriously from beginning to end. This suite of active safety innovations will act as your second set of eyes so whether your co-pilots are paying attention or not, your Tundra/ Tacoma will guide you in the right direction.

Functionality: The interior of your pickup is truly everything, especially when you are traveling with your family. And with features like fold-up rear seating, a spacious cabin, and connectivity – the Toyota pickup truck lineup is ready to exceed your expectations.
