2026 Toyota Tundra

The Toyota Tundra made its name as a capable, comfortable full-size truck long ago, but the current model — introduced in 2022 — is the most livable yet. The Tundra is powered by a turbocharged V6 engine that offers better fuel efficiency than its V8-powered rivals. You can also opt for a hybrid version that fits an electric motor between the engine and transmission to produce more power. As with most full-size trucks, there are a plethora of cab and bed configurations, numerous trim levels, and the choice of rear- or four-wheel drive. The Tundra can be dressed down to haul parts, kitted out to go overlanding, or dressed up with luxury appointments.

Hybrids aren't anything new to Toyota, so it should be no surprise that even its full-size pickup has an electrified powertrain on the options list. However, the Tundra's hybrid setup is meant more for power than fuel economy. Known as the i-Force Max, the turbo V6 engine is mated to an electric motor to produce a combined output of 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. That's a notable jump from the base V6's 389 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. The Tundra's hybrid powertrain doesn't get higher mpg than the base engine, but that extra power is ideal for towing, and its power delivery is impressively smooth.

The Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500 and Ram 1500 can all stand with the Tundra bumper to bumper. Each truck can be equipped with rugged off-road packages and tons of luxury features or be built for thankless heavy lifting day after day. There's also a vast array of bed and cab options and powertrains, from four-cylinder engines to big V8s. In this class, there's something for every buyer.
