What's New For 2026?

There are new updates for the 2026 Toyota Tundra that enhance functionality and comfort. One notable update is having all models standard with a 32.2-gallon gas tank, which was a point of concern in previous years. A trailer hitch with a 7/4 trailer harness pin is now standard across the lineup, simplifying towing setup. The Capstone trim receives an interior upgrade with Shale Premium textured leather trim. This replaces the previous white interior for easier maintenance. These updates aim to enhance the Tundra's appeal to a broader range of drivers. Whether you're a daily driver or an adventure-seeker, it gives you everything you want.

Real World Performance

The 2026 Toyota Tundra comes standard with the i-FORCE 3.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, offered in two different states of tune depending on your chosen trim level. In the base SR trim, it pumps out a solid 348 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. In other trims, the power is turned up to 389 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Then there’s the i-FORCE MAX, which combines the 3.4-liter mill with an electric motor for a total of 437 horsepower and an eye-popping 583 pound-feet of torque. Regardless of trim choice, all Tundra models rely on a 10-speed automatic transmission for power delivery. Not only does the Tundra offer rear coil springs for better ride comfort, but certain trims include Adaptive Variable Suspension for improved load leveling and towing stability.

When it comes to off-road capability, the 2026 Tundra rises to the occasion with an assortment of ground-pounding goodies. Crawl Control automatically takes over throttle and brake modulation duties with up to five settings to toggle through, which are handy on demanding terrain. An available electronically locking rear differential allows for better traction at the rear wheels. An available 3-inch lift kit gives equipped Tundra models a boost when it comes to surmounting those daunting obstacles. These features can be found on the TRD Pro and Tundra models optioned with the 4x4 TRD Off-Road package.
