2020 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition Features and Specs

Toyota’s full-size pickup truck is primarily known for excellent durability and reliability. Therefore, many truckers don’t find it particularly attractive, because the Japanese manufacturer didn’t pay too much attention to styling details in the past. That has changed and it the last several years, the company offers trim levels that come with exclusive styling details and features. For this year, it is the 2020 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition that once again stands out with fancy details and some interesting features.

Although essentially the same as Platinum trim in terms of standard equipment and pricing, it comes with a couple of interesting exclusivities, particularly in terms of exterior and interior details. Other than that, things are pretty familiar.

Why 1794?

If you wonder what’s behind this name, the answer is actually pretty simple. The current assembly where Tundra is made sits on land that was bought from the oldest working cattle ranch in Texas. That ranch was established in 1794, by Spanish colonist Juan Ignacio de Casanova.

2020 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition Design

In terms of base design characteristics, the 2020 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition is pretty much the same as any other version of this full-size truck. Still, there are some pretty exclusive details, particularly in terms of styling and interior design. From the outside, you can notice a lot of chrome details. The grille is made of chrome, while the same material can be found on bumpers and in several more areas. Practically, that’s something we usually call a Western-themed look. The same thing is on the inside, where you can notice a couple of exclusive details, mainly in terms of wood inserts that can be noticed in various places.

On the other side, the overall design of this truck is pretty familiar. As we are talking about the flagship model, it seems logical that the CrewMax version is the only in the offer. Of course, it comes with a short 5’5” cargo bed. Still, a good thing to know is that both RWD and 4WD models are available. When it comes to wheels, you may count on the same 20×8 rims you can find on the Platinum model, both in terms of size and look.

As we already mentioned, the 1794 Edition is essentially the Platinum trim, with main differences in terms of styling. In terms of the standard equipment, things are pretty much the same. That means you may count on all those tech goodies such as an 8-inch touchscreen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa, satellite radio, three USB ports, voice recognition, Bluetooth, dimming rearview mirror, a universal garage door opener, a sliding horizontal rear window, a vertical power rear window, dual-zone automatic climate control, proximity keyless entry, push-button start, a power sliding rear window, navigation, a 12-speaker JBL premium stereo and more.

Leather upholstery, a 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, a six-way power-adjustable passenger seat, heated and ventilated front seats are also on the list of standard equipment.

Safety

Just like any other Tundra, the 2020 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition comes with a full load of safety features. The famous Safety Sense is standard and it includes things like forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, automatic high-beam headlights, and adaptive cruise control. Additionally, you may count on things like front and rear parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert.

2020 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition Engine

Things under the hood are pretty familiar here. The 2020 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition comes with a well-known 5.7-liter V8 engine, which is good for about 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque, which comes in pair with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Such combination ensures strong acceleration and overall capabilities. On the other side, fuel economy isn’t that impressive. This truck returns around 13 mpg in the city and 17 mpg on the highway.

Tundra generally offers lower max towing capacity compared to most rivals. This particular version is no exception. If you choose a 2WD model, you may count on the max towing capacity of 9.500 pounds. On the other side, 4WD models are good for about 8.800 pounds.
