Toyota Tundra Becomes a Timberwolf, Gets Extra Oomph, Extra Height, Extra Everything
The Toyota Tundra went into the PaxPower workshop for the first time and drove out looking like this. It's taller, it's wider, and, depening on the powertrain, it gets some extra oomph as well. It performs and rides better than the Tundra TRD Pro, the tuning experts claim.

You know exactly what to expect from the Toyota Tundra. It is this rugged, reliable pickup truck that will get the job done, no matter how tough and regardless of how rough the terrain is. But PaxPower saw more in it than a workhorse.

Known for its work on Ford F-Series, Chevrolet Silverados, and Sierras, PaxPower has now turned to the Toyota Tundra, bringing a package that can be fitted to any model that rolled out the production line for the past two years, regardless of the trim and drivetrain.

The one tuning specialist worked on is a 2022 model, which is now called Timberwolf. PaxPower transplanted the radiator grille of the Tundra TRD Pro to this model.

The body kit brings a DV8 steel front bumper, which integrates a Warn winch capable of pulling 12,000. Two-inch fender flares and a vinyl graphic package are also on the menu. BajaDesigns cube lights and a 20-inch light bar enhance visibility off-road at night, while power steps make access on board easier.

Cube lights showed up near the A-pillars while flush-mount lights were installed in the rear bumper.

The pickup truck gets new 2.5-inch Icon coilers with billet upper control arms at the front and Icon performance shocks with billet lower control arms at the rear. The modification lifts the truck by 2 inches at the front and one inch at the back.

However, customers will be able to select higher-spec damping supplied by either Icon Racing Dynamics or Fox Racing Shocks.

Now, the Toyota Tundra rides on 17-inch Method Race wheels with 35-inch BFGoodrich K02 All-Terrain tires of 315/70R17 like those fitted to the stock Ford F-150 Raptor.

PaxPower tags the Tundra as a competitor for the Ford F-150 Raptor, F-150 Raptor R, Ram 1500 TRX, Silverado ZR2, Sierra AT4X, and Tundra TRD Pro.

The package offered by the Texas-based tuner brings extra oomph only to the I-Force Max Hybrid engine, which goes from the standard 437 horsepower all the way to 450 horsepower while torque increases from 583 to 600 pound-feet. And there is the Magnaflow stainless-steel cat-back exhaust system from the new Overland Series to thank for that. PaxPower chose to hide the exhaust tip to protect it while off-roading and to increase the departure angle.

Those who want to turn their own Toyota Tundra into a Timberwolf will have to pay $9,950. If the customer is planning to buy a Tundra, they can choose to incorporate the package into the financing. More variants are to come.
