In the world of RC pickups, the Tamiya Tundra High-Lift Truck (model number 58415) is a faithful scale honours to Toyota's early full-size pick-up work. First released in February 2007, the full-size Toyota Tundra gained attention as a notably American-made pick-up from Toyota, lauded for its sturdy construction and adaptable nature during a period of changing fuel economy priorities. The Tamiya kit mirrors the Double Cab silhouette and the utilitarian styling that made the road-going truck popular.
The Tamiya Tundra High-Lift is built around a ladder frame chassis that mixes steel channels with resin cross members to deliver solid torsional strength. A centrally mounted 3-speed transmission keeps the centre of gravity low for authentic slow-speed control and smooth gear shifts. The full-time 4WD drivetrain adds traction and composure across mixed surfaces, making the model competent on both gravel tracks and compacted trails.
Scale detail meets practical upgrade potential on this kit. Chrome-plated wheels with bead lock rings and tyres patterned similarly to F-350 and Hilux fit the truck's rugged look, and these tyres can be swapped for more aggressive cross-country options. For added authenticity, the Pick-Up Truck Multi-Function Unit (MFC-02) is compatible and brings lights, sound and vibration effects for more immersive running sessions.
Tamiya 58415 blends a sturdy frame with scale detail and upgrade potential, making it a solid choice for hobbyists who want realistic handling and room to personalise their truck.
