The 2026 Toyota Tundra includes updates to its interior, technology and performance features. Changes focus on enhancing capability, comfort and convenience for a wide range of driving needs.
Interior Updates
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.
Comfort and Climate Control
Double cab models now feature rear air vents on the center console. All single-zone climate control grades gain the smartflow management system.
Fuel Tank and Standard Equipment
All Tundra models now come with a 32.2-gallon fuel tank, eliminating the smaller option. A tow hitch and 7/4 pin connector are standard across all grades, including SR.
Powertrain Options
Two powertrains are offered:
i-FORCE twin-turbo V6: 389 horsepower, 479 lb.-ft. of torque.
i-FORCE MAX hybrid twin-turbo V6: 437 net horsepower at 5,200 rpm, 583 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,400 rpm.
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.
Standard Safety Technology
Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 is standard across all trims, including:
Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection

The system supports voice commands activated by “Hey/Hi/Hello/OK Toyota.” A one-year trial of Drive Connect is included with the 14-inch system.
