Toyota Tundra Overview

The 2026 Toyota Tundra continues its third-generation production as a versatile full-size pickup assembled in San Antonio, Texas. Built on a high-strength steel chassis with a weight-reducing aluminum-reinforced sheet-molded compound (SMC) bed, the Tundra is designed to balance durability with modern handling. The lineup features two primary 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 powertrains: the standard i-FORCE, producing 389 horsepower and 479 lb.-ft. of torque, and the i-FORCE MAX hybrid, which delivers a combined 437 horsepower and 583 lb.-ft. of torque.

Both engines are paired with a 10-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. For towing applications, the Tundra offers a maximum capacity of 12,000 pounds and includes specialized TOW/HAUL modes. Off-road capability is managed through Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, and an available electronically locking rear differential on TRD-equipped models. Inside, the cabin centers on the Toyota Audio Multimedia system, featuring either an 8-inch or 14-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration. Safety remains a priority, with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 standard across all grades.

What’s New for 2026

The 2026 model year introduces several mechanical standardizations and interior refinements:

• Standardized Fuel Tank: A 32.2-gallon fuel tank is now standard across all grades, replacing the previously available smaller options.
• Towing Hardware: Every model, including the base SR grade, now includes a tow hitch and 7/4 pin connector as standard equipment.
• TRD Pro Enhancements: The TRD Pro grade gains an exclusive new exterior color, Wave Maker, and offers optional ISO Dynamic seats for improved off-road comfort.
• Interior Upgrades: The Capstone grade features new Shale Premium Textured leather, while the Limited grade transitions to leather-trimmed seats with contrast stitching.
• Convenience Features: Power running boards are now available on Platinum and 1794 TRD Off-Road models, and the TRD Rally Package can now be equipped with a 3-inch lift kit.

Another moose hunting season, another truck, and another 24-hour roundtrip drive. All for the chance of glory, and meat in the freezer. Luckily, this year we got to do it all in style with the 2024 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. There was plenty we liked about the truck, but also things we did not. I’ll get the negatives out of the way first, then move on the positives.

Loads of leather, more chrome than a ’50s diner, and a strong, two-syllable trim name. Yep, Toyota’s firmly in the lux-truck realm.

The 2022 Toyota Tundra Capstone is the next step in the full-size truck’s tiered roll-out. After finally giving the world the third generation truck late last year, Toyota has introduced this new hybrid-only range-topper, one meant to fight the fancy-pants F-150 Limited and Sierra Denalis out there.

As contributor Chris Tonn covered in his 2022 Tundra first drive, Toyota has ditched just about everything from the old Tundra to build the new one. That’s to be expected when the last one made it to triple-digit age in dog years.

Say goodbye to the V8; in its place is a 3.4-liter, twin-turbo V6 engine. In the Capstone—and indeed, in all the trucks we sampled in California—a motor/generator nestles in between the engine and 10-speed transmission, a hybrid powertrain Toyota dubs i-Force Max. This bundle produces 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque. For those keeping score at home, yes, that just shades the 430-hp, 570-lb-ft F-150 hybrid.

The full-sizer has long lived in the shadow of the mid-sized Tacoma, not to mention the trucks of the Big Three. Does the long-awaited redesign have what it takes to step into the light?

It’s hard to overstate how long ago 2006 was. We were roughly halfway through the second term of George W. Bush—or if you prefer, right at the beginning of Stephen Harper’s prime ministry (this Yankee is trying to be more sensitive to cross-border concerns). Closer to home, my oldest daughter was born. And in February of that year, Toyota revealed the current generation of the Tundra for the 2007 model year.

The US has had three presidents in that time. Canada has handed power to Justin Trudeau. And my daughter? She’ll be driving next year, not long after this next generation of Tundra begins appearing in showrooms.
