Toyota penned today’s Tundra back in the mid-2000s, set it loose for the 2008 model year, and hasn’t done much with it since then - The Car Connection

The 2021 Toyota Tundra still looks like the past few year's models and has been holding the same design since its release with light modifications, the truck still seems like a thing of the past and the brand has not furnished any design changes this year either. There are a total of 12 colors to choose from including Voodoo blue and Army Green (1974 Edition only). In the front, you get the giant and imposing grille flanked by the rather small headlamps that are halogen-powered in the SR5 trim and LED-powered in all the others.

With 18-inch wheels as standard, the side silhouette is no different than a conventional pickup truck. Thanks to the smart building practices, the 2021 Toyota Tundra Crewmax, despite having a length of 228.9-inches (smaller than all the competitors) with a bed size of 5.5-feet, the truck still seems much bigger. The rear also looks exactly the same as before with the LED taillamps, and manually operated tailgate.

Compared to the others, the Toyota Tundra Crewmax is actually the heaviest despite being the shortest in length. The Ford F-150 Supercrew is actually the lightest one while the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab is just in the second spot with 4,702 lbs. The RAM 1500 Crew Cab occupies the third place in terms of weight but it is the longest, tallest, and widest among the lot. The notable features of the exterior of the 2021 Toyota Tundra Crewmax are:

• 18-inch wheels with all-season tires
• Halogen/LED headlamps and taillamps
• Halogen/LED Fog lamps
