Toyota is trying to adjust the production of certain trim levels to meet market demand.This will be done by increasing output on some, while reducing others.
The world of full-sized pickups has taught the company several lessons until now. Toyota’s biggest seller, the CrewMax pickup is at the point where supply isn’t keeping up with demand.
The pickup was originally thought to comprise between 50- and 60-percent of sales is, in actuality, closer to 70- to 80-percent.
The standard-cab model, equipped with either the V6 or 4.7-liter V8, will see a cut of production since sales of the entry-level truck aren’t meeting expectations.
The standard equipment is one of the other factors differentiating the Tundra from its domestic competitors. But the inclusion of more toys increases the price of the Tundra, possibly scaring off potential customers.
