toyota announces an ultra plush tundra 1794 limited edition for 2024

Automakers have capitalized on the American truck craze with ever more expensive luxury and off-road models. Toyota hasn’t gone as overboard as most, but its recent redesign of the full-size Tundra ushered in a new era for the auto giant. The 1974 Edition has long been a plush, leather-packed entry near the top of the Tundra lineup, but Toyota announced a new Limited Edition variant that pushes the 1794 deeper into premium territory.

Toyota debuted the truck at the State Fair of Texas this week. The automaker has its North American headquarters in the state, and the 1794 trim level is named after the ranch where it constructed the factory that builds the Tundra.

Only 1,500 1794 Limited Edition trucks will be built, and all will come with a crew cab body and a 5.5-foot bed. The trucks also get the i-Force Max hybrid powertrain and standard four-wheel drive. Upgraded Fox shocks and off-road wheels come standard, providing a 1.1-inch lift for better off-road capability.

Interior opulence has long defined the 1794 Edition trucks, and the Limited Edition is even more dolled up inside. Toyota worked with Saddleback Leather Company on the rich upholstery, and buyers can pick up leather accessories to match their new pickups, including a tool roll, a portfolio, a key glove, a small pouch, and an overnight bag.

Poor marketing logic here, some buyers associate the 1700's as a period of darkness and slavery for this country. To brand a trim line this way is going to limit consumer interest in my opinion.

this thing could replace the Dodge Ram on Yellowstone and still be stuck in the shadow of the Big Three. They own the whole segment already and it's the one segment they(to various degrees)do consistently well. Nissan gave up already; maybe Toyota should too

Theflyersfan With sedans, especially, I wonder how many of those sales are to rental fleets. With the exception of the Civic and Accord, there are still rows of sedans mixed in with the RAV4s at every airport rental lot. I doubt the breakdown in sales is publicly published, so who knows... GM isn't out of the sedan business - Cadillac exists and I can't believe I'm typing this but they are actually decent - and I think they are making a huge mistake, especially if there's an extended oil price hike (cough...Iran...cough) and people want smaller and hybrids. But if one is only tied to the quarterly shareholder reports and not trends and the big picture, bad decisions like this get made.
Wjtinfwb Not proud of what Stellantis is rolling out?
Wjtinfwb Absolutely. But not incredibly high-tech, AWD, mega performance sedans with amazing styling and outrageous price tags. GM needs a new Impala and LeSabre. 6 passenger, comfortable, conservative, dead nuts reliable and inexpensive enough for a family guy making 70k a year or less to be able to afford. Ford should bring back the Fusion, modernized, maybe a bit bigger and give us that Hybrid option again. An updated Taurus, harkening back to the Gen 1 and updated version that easily hold 6, offer a huge trunk, elevated handling and ride and modest power that offers great fuel economy. Like the GM have a version that a working mom can afford. The last decade car makers have focused on building cars that American's want, but eliminated what they need. When a Ford Escape of Chevy Blazer can be optioned up to 50k, you've lost the plot.
Willie If both nations were actually free market economies I would be totally opposed. The US is closer to being one, but China does a lot to prop up the sectors they want to dominate allowing them to sell WAY below cost, functionally dumping their goods in our market to destroy competition. I have seen this in my area recently with shrimp farmed by Chinese comglomerates being sold super cheap to push local producers (who have to live at US prices and obey US laws) out of business.China also has VERY lax safety and environmental laws which reduce costs greatly. It isn't an equal playing field, they don't play fair.
Willie ~300,000 Camrys and ~200,000 Accords say there is still a market. My wife has a Camry and we have no desire for a payment on something that has worse fuel economy.
