The forward-most lower section of the 2024 Toyota Tundra’s bodywork, constructed primarily of steel, aluminum, or reinforced plastics, is designed to mitigate damage resulting from low-speed collisions. This component also integrates with vehicle safety systems and contributes to the overall aesthetic design.
This element provides crucial protection to the vehicle’s front-end components, including the radiator, headlights, and engine. Beyond impact protection, it can influence aerodynamic performance, fuel efficiency, and pedestrian safety. Historically, these components have evolved from simple metal bars to complex, integrated systems featuring sensors and advanced materials.
