For 2026, the Capstone grade introduces Shale Premium Textured leather-trimmed seats. The Limited grade will now feature leather-trimmed seating in black or grey, with contrasting stitching.

Both are paired with a 10-speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission with sequential shift mode, uphill/downhill shift logic and TOW/HAUL driving modes.
The i-FORCE MAX combines the V6 with a motor generator inside the bell housing, handling start-up, EV driving, electric assist and regenerative functions.
Assembly and Construction
The Tundra is built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas in San Antonio. The chassis uses high-strength steel for rigidity, with aluminum in key areas to reduce weight. Hydraulic cab mounts are added on Limited and higher trims for improved ride comfort.
The bed uses sheet-molded compound with aluminum reinforcing cross members for durability. All models feature a power release tailgate; a power close option with knee-lift assist is available.
