Toyota has gone to great lengths to improve every aspect of the latest 2023 Tundra pickup. The turbo V6 and 10-speed automatic deliver a powerful and smooth driving experience, and the optional 14-inch infotainment touchscreen looks great in the tightly constructed cabin. Real-world fuel economy is disappointing, but otherwise this is a well-rounded truck for the money.

Overview

The 2023 Toyota Tundra full-size pickup is coming off a full redesign just last year. It has significantly more power, capabilities and comfort than the generation before it, but that shouldn't be too surprising since that predecessor had been kicking around since 2007. One of the most significant improvements is the new turbocharged V6 engine that has about as much power as the old Tundra's V8 but generates more torque, which is helpful for towing, and boasts considerably better EPA-estimated fuel economy. There's also an optional hybrid V6 powertrain that gives the Tundra even more muscle over the standard V6.

For 2023, the Tundra's changes are predictably light. So far, it's limited to a new SX package for the SR5 trim. The SX package gives the Tundra a stealthy look, with dark gray wheels and body-colored door handles and rear bumper. Given that, we think the Tundra is an agreeable choice for a light-duty pickup. But the rival Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 have some advantages that could make them a better buy. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below for a complete rundown of the latest Tundra's hits and misses.

Good
8.0
out of 10
We drove the 2023 Toyota Tundra on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
8/10
How does the Tundra drive? While the loss of the snarling 5.7-liter V8 might cause some concern among the Tundra faithful, the turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 is more than a suitable replacement. There's a substantial amount of torque on tap, even at low rpm, and the 10-speed automatic transmission shifts quickly and smoothly. In our testing, a 4WD Tundra accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds, which is respectably quick. That power makes it easy to merge with traffic and pass on the open highway without a second thought.
Braking is similarly solid. Our panic-braking test from 60 mph saw the Tundra stop in 131 feet — that's a bit better than average — and that was with the TRD Off-Road package's more rugged tires that our test truck had. The light and accurate steering makes it easy to guide the truck down tight backcountry roads and can occasionally feel like the smaller Tacoma.
That TRD Off-Road package that our test truck had includes a locking rear differential and additional off-road driving modes, but it didn't seem to appreciably improve the truck's off-roading capability. This is a big truck and its long wheelbase means the underbody can easily hang up on seemingly easy obstacles. If you're going to hit up any trails in the Tundra, you'll probably want to get the TRD Pro.

Comfort
8/10
How comfortable is the Tundra? This Tundra is a marked improvement over the previous generation. Seat comfort and interior noise levels are vastly improved, and the Tundra is a pleasant truck for covering long distances for both front and rear passengers. Though the V6 engine is less sonorous than the previously available V8, under full throttle the V6 sounds appropriately burly for a full-size truck.
The Ram 1500 still rules the class in outright ride quality, but the Tundra offers a fairly buttoned-down and jitter-free ride over most surfaces. The Tundra's straightforward climate control system is largely set it and forget it, but we appreciate the large buttons and dials even if some of the labeling can be tough to decipher in bright sunlight.

Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? While the optional 14-inch touchscreen certainly gets your attention, the Tundra's straightforward interior layout and overall ease of use leave a more lasting impression. Gauges and graphics are easy to read at a glance, and the commanding driving position makes piloting the full-size Tundra much less daunting. Like all full-size trucks, the Tundra offers ample room for all passengers, especially in the CrewMax configuration.
When equipped with the optional panoramic sunroof and unique full-width power rear window, the Tundra feels downright airy and spacious. Even with the Tundra's sizable hood, forward visibility is generally good. But the truck's chunky windshield pillars can easily block your view on two-lane roads. We recommend getting the Tundra's surround-view camera system since it makes maneuvering the truck in tight spots a lot easier.

Technology
8.5/10
How’s the tech? The Tundra's optional 14-inch touchscreen is a standout feature. It has crisp-looking graphics, and its various onscreen menus are easy to use. In fact, we'd wager some smartphone users might even prefer the native setup to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto (which come standard) for most features. Our test truck had the upgraded JBL audio system, but we found the sound quality from the standard system to be more than adequate.
The Tundra's advanced driver aids, most of which come standard, generally work well. We didn't experience any false alarms in our testing. The only letdown was the lane keeping system, which wasn't particularly useful in keeping this big truck centered between lane markers.

Towing and Storage
8/10
How are the towing and storage? The latest Tundra has stout capabilities. Our test truck, with its standard V6 engine and 4WD CrewMax configuration, was rated to tow 11,120 pounds when properly equipped. The Tundra's maximum towing and hauling capacities aren't class-leading, but they're certainly good enough for what most owners will be doing with their trucks. A reinforced composite bed is standard.
The extra space of the CrewMax four-door allows for plenty of storage options in the rear interior for items you'd rather not place in the bed. Rear underseat storage is generous as is small-item storage for front passengers. But the interior storage isn't as well organized in the Tundra as in its domestic counterparts, and we could see the Tundra's various bins becoming a bit messy in a hurry.

Fuel Economy
6.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? Fuel economy isn't usually top of mind for most buyers of full-size trucks, but those interested in the Tundra might want to lower their expectations. The EPA estimates 19 mpg combined for the 4WD Tundra, which is comparable to competitors. However, our test truck clocked a disappointing 15.2 mpg on our real-world evaluation route. And the Tundra managed to achieve only 16.9 mpg during a weekend fishing trip of mostly open-highway driving. That's worse than what we've observed from our testing of other full-size trucks.
Value
7.5/10
Is the Tundra a good value? The interior is built to a very high standard. Gaps are tight, and all the various trim elements lined up precisely. Though our Limited trim test Tundra lacked luxury touches such as wood and chrome you find in other midlevel full-size trucks, the Toyota did not feel the least bit downmarket or utilitarian.
Warranties are about average for the class, with three years/36,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage and five years/60,000 miles for the powertrain. But the Tundra's two years/25,000 miles of free maintenance is a slight step above.

Wildcard
8/10
The Tundra can't claim to be best-in-class when it comes to towing, hauling or ride comfort, but there's nothing wrong with having competence and comfort as primary strengths. This truck is easy to drive and easy to live with, and its available 14-inch touchscreen and full-width power rear window help give it a distinctive driving experience.
2023 Toyota Tundra trim level differences
The 2023 Toyota Tundra is a four-door pickup truck offered in extended-cab (Double Cab) and crew-cab (CrewMax) configurations, with one short bed and one long bed option for each. The lineup offers a choice of seven trim levels: SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794, TRD Pro and Capstone.
Which Tundra trim does Edmunds recommend?
We suggest the midrange Limited trim out of the Tundra's lineup. You not only get a larger infotainment touchscreen and a smoother ride from hydraulic cab mounts, but it's also the least expensive way to get the optional hybrid powertrain.

Toyota wants you to pay monthly for functions

2023 Toyota Tundra Platinum 4dr CrewMax SB w/6.5' Bed (3.5L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 10A)
I just bought a 2023 Tundra Platinum and won't recommend this truck UNLESS you fully understand what Toyota is trying to do and can live (and pay) for it.
Toyota is trying to setup their cars as a service where you pay monthly for car functions even though you already paid them $69,000. Simple things like remote start from fob Toyota doesn't work unless you pay a monthly fee for … wireless......which you SHOULDN'T need if you already have internet access thru your cell phone. 2nd all those functions that require Toyotas wireless to be enabled (requiring monthly fee) stop working when you DON'T have cell coverage .....REALLY??? Toyota really is working hard to "screw" over its customers ....
Truck is horrid. Toyota dropped the ball.

2023 Toyota Tundra Limited 4dr CrewMax 4WD SB w/5.5' Bed (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)
Bought a 2023 limited, came with a defective transmission from day one. Got it replaced, went another 1000 miles and went to merge onto a busy highway and lost all power. Dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree.
Parking brake malfunctions daily, terrible window wind noise, software is buggy, throttle control is brutal.
Toyota Corporate has been nothing but shady and grimey dealing … with all of this. Will never buy another Toyota as long as I live.
Hybrid power but poor mpg
2 out of 5 starsAlain, 01/12/2023
2023 Toyota Tundra Limited 4dr CrewMax SB w/5.5' Bed (3.5L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 10A)
First time truck owner and I love this tundra power but the mpg is well below expectations. I’ve been driving conservatively on Eco-mode for 2 months and I’m averaging 16.7! Estimates are 20/24 for RWD. I agree with other reviewers about the dangerous pre-collision warning and lane assist. I had to disable both as it overpowers the steering and jerks you away or slams on the brakes (with … a big BRAKE warning) even if you’re not even close to an object. The steering overall is great & smooth. The interior is beautiful and comfortable. Love the 14in screen and simple to use knobs, but my pet peeve is the lack of split screen for navigation and media (like my previous Lexus). No major issues and I do get a lot of compliments plus it’s fun to drive but very disappointed on mpg.
UPDATE: Love the redesign but full of problems that Toyota won’t fix. I’ve contacted HQ numerous times with zero resolution. Let’s start with the terrible mpg for the hybrid. Averaging 16.5 in the city on eco mode. 19 on Hwy which isn’t bad but nowhere close to the 20/24 epa estimates. Second is the squealing brakes in forward or reverse braking. Apparently it’s a common problem with these new tundras but Toyota has no resolution in place nor will they fix or inspect the brakes. This occurred at 1000 miles and I am now at 10,000 miles. It’s an embarrassment driving around & pulling up to a red light with squealing brakes. I wake up all my neighbors when I back out of my driveway every morning. The third major issue I’ve encountered is the dash cam. I’ve never used it or even turned it on but it regularly beeps if I hit a speed bump, or like today, it completely malfunctioned and beeped erratically for 35 minutes while I was driving. It continued to beep even after turning the vehicle off. There’s no question this truck is beautiful inside and out plus has incredible power and acceleration but this has been a huge disappointment.
Worst purchase ever

2023 Toyota Tundra Limited 4dr Double Cab 4WD SB (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)
I paid top dollar for this hybrid truck that they claim would get 20 miles to the gallon. I’m a construction manager and I drive in the city a lot. I’m getting 13 miles to the gallon. After 15 months of driving the front differential burned up and there aren’t even parts in existence to make the repair. I’ve been told theyre manufacturing the parts. I’ve no idea how long I’ll be in a … rental. I bought this truck for fuel efficiency, and Toyota reliability. I got neither.
