Exterior of 2016 Toyota Tundra Baja generally resembles to other Tundra models. Therefore, body form is quite similar, but with some alterations that make this car authentic. But, let’s start from the front. On the front fascia we can see a redesigned grille with fully written name of this vehicle, instead of the logo that we used to see before. A massive racing bumper below the grille was added during the process of redesign. It is made of steel, which gives impression of aggressiveness and strength, with addition of a smaller lower air dam. Headlights are equipped with LED lamps with a daytime running option included. On the back side, a mechanism for easy opening of tailgate was incorporated.

As of technology features, we can expect a 7 inch LED screen obtaining necessary information about motor, fuel consumption, temperature and other data that might be needed during a drive.

Infotainment and safety features are quite simmilar to other Tundra vehicles. They provide both pleasure and safety to all passengers while driving long distance routs.
