MASSILLON, OHIO – A 2007 Toyota Tundra Double Cab Standard Bed truck, A.R.E.’s Tundra WorkForce is outfitted with a Deluxe Commercial Unit (DCU) truck caps and numerous aftermarket products that enhance the truck’s appearance and utility.

“The goal of Tundra WorkForce was to embody a tough image and extreme functionality through the creation of an awesome work truck that any professional would be proud – and excited! – to drive,” said Baker. “The aftermarket enhancements we’ve done make the Tundra WorkForce more than your average work truck. The truck epitomizes what it means for a professional to do his or her job efficiently, accurately and with style and authority.”

In addition to the DCU, enhancements to the Tundra WorkForce include a hitch step and stainless steel grille insert from Luverne, a CORSA Performance exhaust system, a Warn wench, a navigation system and back-up camera from Eclipse, a Jotto Desk cargo mobile office, Goodyear tires mounted on Centerline Wheels, a locking ladder rack and interior truck bed shelving from Prime Design, a rear suspension system from Hellwig Products, a BedRug bedliner, and aluminum floor mats from Pilot Automotive.

The Prime Design rotating cargo management system fits inside the Tundra WorkForce’s truck bed and holds a large selection of tools in a “Lazy Susan” fashion, turning to allow easy access to necessary gear. A stainless steel exhaust system from CORSA Performance provides a boost in horsepower and torque while maintaining a drone-free sound inside the cab.

A.R.E.’s DCU truck cap can be ordered in one of four height configurations — 23 inches, 26 inches, 29 inches, and 36 inches — and has several rear door options, including a ½ rear lift door, double full doors, a single full door, and a full hatch door.

Tundra WorkForce also features a red and silver custom paint scheme painted by AC Customs using DuPont Automotive finishes and a sleek black and silver interior overhaul by Trent’s Trick Upholstery. 

The Deluxe Commercial Unit is currently highlighted as one of four name-brand work truck aftermarket accessories for the all-new Tundra and can be seen on Toyota’s Web site (www.Toyota.com) in the Trucks/Tundra section. Toyota awarded A.R.E. with the 2007 Tundra last year for the vehicle to be built into an innovative work truck that represents the Tundra’s rugged image.
