Refined and Ready: Key Updates for 2026

Toyota has listened to customer feedback and implemented several key changes for the 2026 Tundra, making it an even more compelling choice for truck buyers in Bountiful, Utah, and beyond.

  • Larger Standard Fuel Tank: All 2026 Tundra models now come standard with a 32.2-gallon fuel tank, eliminating the smaller tank option and providing a significantly extended range for long trips and towing.
  • Enhanced Towing Features: A tow hitch and a 7/4-pin connector are now standard on all Tundra grades, including the base SR, making towing easier and more accessible from the get-go.
  • Luxurious Interior Upgrades: Toyota has elevated the cabin experience with new upholstery options. The Capstone grade now features a revamped interior with premium textured leather, while the Limited grade transitions to new leather-trimmed seats with stylish contrast stitching.
  • Improved Comfort: Double Cab models now feature air vents on the rear center console to enhance rear passenger comfort. For extreme off-road enthusiasts, the TRD Pro can now be equipped with optional IsoDynamic seats, a feature previously seen on the Tacoma TRD Pro, designed to absorb rough terrain impacts.
  • New Styling and Convenience: A new and exclusive color, Wave Maker, is available on the TRD Pro grade. The SX Package now comes with 20-inch wheels, and power running boards are available on Platinum and 1794 TRD Off-Road Package models.

Powerful and Efficient Powertrains

The 2026 Tundra’s performance is driven by its formidable i-FORCE engine family, offering both power and efficiency for every driving need.

  • i-FORCE Twin-Turbo V6: Standard on most trims, this engine delivers a robust 389 horsepower and a stout 479 lb-ft of torque. A detuned version on the SR grade still provides a strong 358 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque.
  • i-FORCE MAX Hybrid: Available on the Limited, Platinum, and 1794 Edition and standard on the TRD Pro and Capstone, this hybrid powertrain is the real game-changer. It combines the twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor to produce a commanding 437 horsepower and a segment-leading 583 lb-ft of torque. This system offers exhilarating acceleration and instant torque, making it ideal for towing and hauling.

Tundra’s Advantage: Both engines are paired with a smooth and responsive 10-speed automatic transmission, providing the perfect balance of power, efficiency, and reliability that Toyota is known for.

  • 1794 Edition: A tribute to the Texas ranch where the Tundra is built, the 1794 Edition is a luxury-focused trim with Western-inspired style, including premium saddle tan leather and genuine American walnut wood-grain trim.
  • Capstone: The Capstone is the pinnacle of the Tundra lineup, featuring 22-inch wheels, power-deployable running boards, and a two-tone interior with genuine wood trim, all powered by the standard i-FORCE MAX hybrid engine.
