2026 Toyota Tundra: Trims, Prices, Towing, i-FORCE MAX and What’s New

The 2026 Toyota Tundra is the fifth model year of the third-generation full-size pickup, and Toyota sells it in ten trims, two cab styles and three bed lengths. This guide lays out what each trim costs, which engine it gets, how much each configuration can tow, and what Toyota changed from the 2025 model, using Toyota’s own spec data, EPA ratings and crash-test results.

2026 Toyota Tundra Specs at a Glance

All 2026 Tundras use a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 and a 10-speed automatic. Toyota offers it in three states of tune. Figures are from toyota.com and fueleconomy.gov.

2026 Tundra Trims and Prices

Toyota’s spec sheet lists 32 trim, cab, bed and drivetrain combinations for 2026. The table shows the base MSRP range for each trim. Limited and above are CrewMax-only.

Toyota’s delivery, processing and handling (DPH) fee for the Tundra is $2,195, according to the price disclaimer on Toyota’s inventory pages as of October 20, 2026. Toyota notes the fee is higher in AL, AR, FL, GA, LA, MS, NC, OK, SC and TX. That puts the cheapest 2026 Tundra at $43,455 before options, taxes and dealer charges.

Adding 4×4 costs $3,000 on the SR, Limited and Platinum in matching cab and bed configurations.

What Changed for 2026

Toyota has not redesigned the Tundra for 2026; the core engines, transmission and body carry over. Comparing Toyota’s 2025 and 2026 spec sheets (2025 and 2026) shows these differences:

• Bigger standard fuel tank. In 2025, the SR and most SR5 configurations came with a 22.5-gallon tank; the 32.2-gallon tank was standard only on the SR5 CrewMax 6.5-ft and Double Cab 8.1-ft and part of a package on other SR5s. For 2026, Toyota lists the 32.2-gallon tank as standard on these trims, a change Automotive Fleet reported on August 4, 2025.
• Tow hitch standard on SR. The Class-IV hitch receiver and wiring harness came in a package on the 2025 SR. The 2026 SR lists it, with a 7-pin/4-pin connector, as standard, and the separate SR Tow Package is no longer listed.
• Hybrid Platinum and 1794 Edition are 4×4 only. The 2025 lineup included 4×2 versions of both at $67,585 and $68,285. They are not listed for 2026.
• Leather in the SR5 Premium Package. The 2026 package lists leather-trimmed seats, which replace SofTex synthetic leather. The SX Package now lists 20-in. black alloy wheels instead of painted 18-in. wheels.
• Capstone seat material. The 2026 Capstone lists Shale premium textured leather instead of the 2025 semi-aniline leather.
• Prices are up. The SR Double Cab 4×2 rose from $40,090 to $41,260 (+$1,170). The TRD Pro rose from $72,510 to $72,565, and the Capstone from $80,725 to $80,800.

Powertrains: i-FORCE vs i-FORCE MAX

The SR’s 358-hp V6 makes peak torque of 406 lb-ft at 2,000 rpm. SR5 and above get a 389-hp, 479 lb-ft version. The i-FORCE MAX adds a parallel-hybrid motor-generator. Toyota rates it at 48 hp (36 kW) and 184 lb-ft, fed by a 288-volt nickel-metal hydride battery with 1.87 kWh of capacity. Total output is 437 hp and 583 lb-ft. Every 2026 configuration uses a 3.31 axle ratio.

EPA figures show what the hybrid buys: 2 mpg combined in 4×2 form and 1 mpg in 4×4 form. On the Limited CrewMax 5.5-ft 4×2, the hybrid adds $3,700 ($54,860 vs $58,560). That works out to a 48-hp and 104 lb-ft gain for the money. The hybrid trims also have less ground clearance: Toyota lists 8.5 in. for most of them, vs 9.3 to 9.4 in. for the non-hybrid trims.

2026 Tundra Towing Capacity by Configuration

Toyota’s 12,000-lb headline rating applies to one configuration only. Heavier trims, the hybrid system and 4×4 hardware all add curb weight, and that weight comes out of the tow rating. These are Toyota’s maximum ratings for selected 2026 configurations:

Two points stand out. The SR’s 8,300-lb limit applies to every SR body style, so buyers towing a large trailer should start at SR5. And the hybrid’s extra torque does not raise the ceiling. The best hybrid rating (11,450 lb) is 550 lb below the best non-hybrid rating. Every 2026 Tundra lists Trailer-Sway Control as standard, and every trim except the SR lists an integrated trailer brake controller.

TRD Pro, SR and 1794 Edition: What You Get

SR: the price leader

The SR is the only trim with the 358-hp engine. Toyota lists 18-in. styled-steel wheels with 245/75R18 all-season tires, a full-size spare, a six-speaker audio system and Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 as standard. For 2026, the tow hitch and the 32.2-gallon tank are also standard. The SR Double Cab with the 8.1-ft bed costs $41,590 in 4×2 form and carries the lineup’s highest payload, 1,850 lb.

TRD Pro: the off-road trim

The TRD Pro is sold only as a CrewMax 5.5-ft 4×4 with the i-FORCE MAX hybrid. Toyota lists the following standard hardware: a 1.1-in. front lift; 2.5-in. FOX internal bypass coil-overs; rear remote-reservoir shocks; 18-in. forged BBS wheels on 285/65R18 Falken Wildpeak all-terrain tires; an electronically locking rear differential; Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control; an aluminum front skid plate; and Xply Armor undercovers. Its departure angle is 23.0 degrees, vs 17.4 for most other trims, and ground clearance is 9.0 in. The off-road hardware comes with a fuel economy cost: at 19 mpg combined, it is the least efficient hybrid configuration.

1794 Edition: the luxury trim

Toyota lists the following as standard: American walnut wood-grain trim with a laser-etched 1794 Edition badge, 10-way power leather seats, massaging front seats, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, Panoramic View Monitor and 12-speaker JBL audio. A head-up display and a load-leveling rear air suspension come in packages. Prices start at $64,380 with the 389-hp V6. As a CrewMax 5.5-ft 4×4, the hybrid costs $3,925 more ($67,380 vs $71,305).

Limited, Platinum and Capstone

The Limited is the cheapest way to get the hybrid ($58,560). The Platinum costs $685 to $700 less than the 1794 Edition in each matching configuration. The $80,800 Capstone lists 22-in. wheels, power running boards and dark-gray walnut trim as standard. Apart from the SR, it has the lowest tow rating in the lineup.

2026 Tundra Safety Ratings

IIHS lists the 2026 Tundra crew cab as a Top Safety Pick. It earned Good ratings in the small overlap, updated moderate overlap and updated side tests, and an Acceptable rating for standard pedestrian front crash prevention. Headlights vary by trim. IIHS rates the LED projector lamps on the Limited with Premium package, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro and Capstone as Good; other headlight versions are rated Acceptable. IIHS says its small overlap rating comes from tests of a 2022 Tundra and applies to 2022 to 2026 models.

The NHTSA ratings database had no 2026 Tundra star ratings as of October 20, 2026; it lists ratings for the 2025 model. NHTSA’s recall database shows one 2026 Tundra campaign (26V433), filed June 7, 2026. It covers a single truck from Southeast Toyota Distributors with an incorrect load-capacity modification label.
