The dealers at Toyota Irvine Ca want you to be aware of the fact that the Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition is a very sentimental machine since it commemorates the founding of the Texas ranch that is currently the site of the Toyota assembly plant in San Antonio where the Tundra pickup truck is built.
As some sales associates and even buyers at Irvine car dealerships point out, the 1794 gives off a western theme with its one-of-a-kind saddle brown leather upholstery and imitation suede inserts and matching leather bits on the shift console, door trim, and instrument panel.
For 2020, Toyota updated all versions of the truck so now they all include standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as standard keyless access and push-button start along with some other nice goodies. If you manage to grab up this special edition Tundra at Toyota Irvine Ca here is what this trim level includes.
What Does The Tundra 1794 Edition Include?
The Tundra 1794 edition is available with rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. At close inspection, the Tundra 1794 is very similar to the top-notch Platinum trim, but it has a bit more yee-haw when it comes to its interior design with its unique color combinations, fancy floormats that are cladded in rubber, carpet, and metal rivet accents with “1794” etchings.
The Platinum and 1794 Edition share many of the same standard features that are optional on other trims, including:
- 12-way power driver’s seat with memory (four-way power passenger seat)
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- JBL sound system
- Front and rear parking sensors
- Blind spot monitor with rear cross-traffic detection
- Machined six-spoke 20-inch wheels
Besides the saddle brown interior, the 1794 Edition also adds:
- Chrome grille with chrome end caps
- Chrome 1794 Edition badges on the driver and passenger front doors
The interior of the 2020 1794 Edition feels superior even for today’s standards, which is impressive considering the Tundra is currently on its 13th model year in this generation; this interior was first seen on the Tundra’s 2014 model-year.
Here are 5 features that make the Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition so special
The Badging
All over the truck, you will find the 1794 Edition badges. The sales reps at Toyota Irvine Ca let us know that there are seven different examples of it. For instance, there are two on the exterior, two on the front floor mats, two on the back floor mats, and one on the center console. Plus, each badge has a special copper finish that accents the interior. There is also the TRD 4×4 badges on the truck’s bed. One other factor that gets customers excited about this truck is the fact that it comes available in a robust TRD 4×4 package as well.
Also, you need to keep in mind that the badging is not just badging. The year 1794 pays homage to the oldest working ranch in Texas. The ranch, which is called JLC Ranch, is the present site of Toyota’s San Antonio production facility, where it manufactures its two American trucks, the Tundra and Tundra.
The Leather And Trim
The 1794 Edition is fitted out with trim-exclusive saddle brown cowhide with white accent stitching that covers the seats, center console, and dashboard. Everything together just works so well. The self-styled “Western” aesthetic is a completely suitable finish that works well with Toyota’s Texan theme. The steering wheel receives a unique lacquered wood finish, and so do the lower sections of the dashboard and the gear shift lever. Overall the 1794 Tundra’s interior does a good job at imitating the interior quality of something higher-end.
The Floor Mats
This may sound very strange, but the Tundra 1794 has some of the most wonderful floor mats most car dealers and buyers have ever seen! These mats are two-tone and finished in both black rubber and a bit of saddle brown carpet to again go with the western-themed leather. Also, besides their beauty, they are practical too since they are easy to clean when they get dirty. Last but not least, both the front and back floor mats come adorned with 1794 edition badging.
The Engine
The 5.7-liter V8 isn’t extraordinary to the 1794 Edition, but it’s still an excellent and exceptional engine. This V8 engine has been the Tundra’s workhorse for the last decade, and it has aged gracefully. It pumps out a whopping 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque which help the 5,600-pound truck to move effortlessly. Also, the truck’s engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. In general, you will find that the Tundra feels very light and easy to drive.
The Rear Window
You have to check out the Toyota tundra’s rear window since it is such a unique feature in the brand’s full-size trucks. This window slides down all the way and opens the back seat and the whole cabin to get some fresh air. This isn’t specific just for the 1794 Editon since other Tundra trims have this available feature too. However, this is a great feature to have compared to the itsy-bitsy windows you find in other trucks in the same segment.
The Toyota Tundra is one of the toughest and most versatile full-size trucks that are currently available on the market. Plus, because Toyota made it, you know it is going to be reliable. As a matter of fact, you may have overheard some owners of Tundra trucks or even Toyota vehicles overall brag about how much mileage they have accumulated on their odometers!
Yes, you can absolutely depend on your Toyota Tundra. Its immense reliability, toughness, and high resale value have made it the fan-favorite it is today. Nevertheless, if you are looking for a Tundra with a bit more character and you feel like you are still a cowboy at heart and want some of that in your everyday life; but you want your Tundra to still maintain all of the above, you should opt for the 1794 Toyota Tundra. It is a superior vehicle for you and your family!
