This is, as far as we can remember, the first time someone is so eager to upgrade a vehicle like the Toyota Tundra. What’s more, the owner of this pickup truck has sent it all the way from Dubai to Cologne, Germany, because he wanted the experts at Mcchip-DKR to work on it.
The tuning package being prepared for the Mcchip Toyota Tundra is called mc550 and there’s a clue as to the kind of horsepower it will be getting. The 5.7 V8 “Flex Fuel” engine in the mighty Tundra is going to get boosted from 380 horsepower to a full 550 horsepower with 800 Nm of torque. That ought to make taking on the sand dunes of Dubai in this car a lot more fun.
The engine treatment for Mcchip Toyota Tundra will include a supercharger kit which is really the meat of the program, complemented with a bespoke software developed in-house by Mcchip and sport air filters. But these guys are professional tuners, and pros always keep a steady foot. So the Tundra will also get larger brakes and raised axles with high-performance suspension from TRD. All it needs, then, is a set of large wheels with rugged off-road tires, and it becomes a superb toy.
