Toyota’s full-size Tundra pickup truck rolls into its fifth model year since a major redesign with wider availability of some interior and exterior options and new upholstery for a few of its pricier trim levels. The 2026 Tundra starts at $43,355 (all prices include $2,095 destination charge).

What’s New for the 2026 Toyota Tundra?
For 2026, the Tundra’s TRD 3-inch lift kit is now available with the TRD Rally Package that was introduced for 2025, and power-deployable running boards can be had on the Platinum and 1794 Edition pickups with the TRD Off-Road Package. Buyers of the Tundra TRD Pro can now spec the IsoDynamic seats from the Tacoma TRD Pro, which have their own built-in suspension to keep occupants steadier during aggressive off-road driving.
The mid-tier Limited trim level now offers a choice of black leather with white stitching or gray leather with black stitching, and the range-topping Capstone features a new textured leather in a shade Toyota calls Shale. Otherwise, the 2026 Tundra is unchanged from the 2025 truck, meaning it offers a range of configurations and features that should appeal to most any shopper in the market for a full-size pickup.

What Are the 2026 Toyota Tundra’s Cab and Bed Configurations?
The Tundra SR and SR5 are available with either an extended cab that Toyota calls Double Cab or a crew cab the automaker dubs CrewMax. The extended cab has rear-hinged rear doors, but they are smaller than the crew cab’s. Toyota charges an additional $2,865 to upgrade from Double Cab to CrewMax. Trim levels from the Limited on up are only offered with the crew cab.
Most Tundra trim levels come with a choice between a 5.5- or 6.5-foot bed for a few hundred dollars more. An 8.1-foot bed is only available on the SR and SR5 extended-cab trucks.
What Are the 2026 Toyota Tundra’s Powertrain Specs and MPG?
Toyota offers two powertrains in the Tundra, branded i-Force and i-Force Max, both of which are backed by a 10-speed automatic transmission. The former is a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V-6 engine that makes 389 horsepower and 479 pounds-feet of torque in most trim levels. In the base Tundra SR, however, output is dialed back to 348 hp and 405 pounds-feet.
The hybrid i-Force Max utilizes the same engine, but a stout electric motor nested between the engine and transmission bumps horsepower up to 437 and torque to an impressive 583 pounds-feet. The SR and SR5 are only available with the non-hybrid i-Force engine, while the Limited, Platinum and 1794 can be had with either powertrain. The hybrid powertrain costs between $3,700 and $3,925 on those trucks and is standard in the TRD Pro and Capstone.
Rear-wheel drive is standard on most Tundra trim levels, with four-wheel drive available for $3,000; 4WD is standard on the TRD Pro and Capstone. The Limited is the only trim level to offer the i-Force Max powertrain with RWD.
With its lower output, the SR returns an estimated 18/24/20 mpg city/highway/combined with RWD and 17/23/19 mpg with 4WD, according to Toyota (official EPA ratings for the 2026 model are not yet available). The trade-off for full power in other trim levels with the i-Force engine is a single mpg on the highway, with those trucks rated at 18/23/20 mpg with RWD and 17/22/19 with 4WD. The Tundra hybrid returns 20/24/22 mpg with rear-drive and 19/22/20 with 4WD — except for the TRD Pro; its sturdy off-road gear and knobby tires drop fuel economy to an estimated 18/20/19 mpg.

What Are the 2026 Toyota Tundra’s Trim Levels?
The Tundra SR is a basic work truck with 18-inch wheels, cloth upholstery and manually adjustable front seats, but it does include a few niceties: LED head- and taillights, a power-sliding rear window, keyless entry and start, automatic climate control, an 8-inch touchscreen and six (extended cab) or nine (crew cab) speakers. The SR5 is outfitted for more serious work, fitted with a trailer-hitch receiver and wiring, integrated trailer brake controller and bed tie-downs, as well as LED foglights.
The Limited rides on 20-inch wheels. It comes with a 14-inch touchscreen, and when fitted with the hybrid powertrain, it also gets a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. All Limiteds also feature dual-zone automatic climate control, synthetic leather upholstery, and power-adjustable heated and cooled front seats. The Limited also adds standard blind spot monitors and rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking.
The Tundra Platinum boasts upgraded exterior lighting with LED daytime running lights and sequential turn signals, a panoramic moonroof, genuine leather and rear-window shades. Front-seat occupants benefit from additional seat adjustability, and front and rear passengers get heated and ventilated seats. The Platinum also adds the digital instrument cluster, a power-adjustable steering column, a heated steering wheel, a rearview mirror camera, a 360-degree parking camera, Toyota’s Trailer Backup Guide (which helps drivers reverse with a trailer connected), a 12-speaker JBL audio system and wireless phone charging. The 1794 Edition has all of the Platinum’s luxury and tech features, but it wraps them in unique upholstery and trim for a more rugged look.
Only available with the crew cab, 5.5-foot bed, hybrid powertrain and 4WD, the TRD Pro is aimed at serious off-roaders. It forgoes some of the Platinum’s luxury features — such as the heated and ventilated rear seats, rear-window shades and Trailer Backup Guide — but rides on a suspension lifted by 1.1 inches up front and boasting Fox 2.5-inch internal-bypass coilovers in front, a unique front anti-roll bar and remote-reservoir shock absorbers in the rear. The TRD Pro is fitted with black 18-inch wheels wearing all-terrain tires, an aluminum front skid plate and an electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential. It also gets crawl control (low-speed off-road cruise control), unique upholstery, aluminum pedals and Toyota’s Multi-Terrain Monitor, which uses the 360-degree exterior cameras to help drivers with wheel placement to get over or around obstacles off-road.
At the top of the Tundra lineup is the Capstone, which can only be had with the crew cab, 6.5-foot bed, hybrid engine and 4WD. It includes all of the Platinum’s features plus 22-inch wheels, power-operated running boards and a head-up display.
