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.

Warranty and Maintenance

Coverage includes a 36-month/36,000-mile basic warranty, a 60-month/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and 60-month corrosion coverage with no mileage limit. ToyotaCare provides factory-scheduled maintenance and 24-hour roadside assistance for two years or 25,000 miles.
