Pros
Smooth power from turbocharged V6 engine
Easy-to-use controls
Standard composite bed limits dents and scratches
Available 14-inch touchscreen looks great
Cons
Base engine returned subpar fuel economy in our testing
No trick tailgate options like on some rivals
What's new
Factory-installed 3-inch lift kit now available
Optional Nightshade package blacks out exterior trim
Part of the third Tundra generation that debuted for 2022
Overview
Toyota last redesigned the Tundra in 2022, so the latest generation of this full-size pickup truck continues into 2024 with no major changes. After all, the automaker has its hands full with the launch of a completely redesigned 2024 Tacoma midsize truck. As such, the 2024 Tundra is still available in two cab styles, with two engines, three bed lengths, and several trim levels ranging from budget-friendly to opulently outfitted. Naturally, there is an off-road-tuned version of the Tundra, as well as an off-road suspension package for other trims and an available factory-installed 3-inch lift kit.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2024 Toyota Tundra Limited 4dr CrewMax SB w/5.5' Bed (3.4L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 10A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.15 per gallon for regular unleaded in North Dakota.
Depending on the configuration, the Tundra can tow up to 12,000 pounds and carry 1,940 pounds of payload. Those numbers fall short of primary rivals, especially our top pick in this segment, the Ford F-150. Nevertheless, the Tundra's bold styling and all-around competence make this Toyota pretty easy to recommend. Be sure to read our full Expert Rating of the Tundra to learn more.

edmunds TESTED
The 2024 Toyota Tundra's hybrid powertrain delivers plenty of muscle. And it comes standard in the TRD Pro trim, which is what we tested. The TRD Pro's upgrades also make it more capable off-road than other Tundras. But its price might give you pause, and the hybrid powertrain is not a fuel-sipper.
How does the Tundra Hybrid drive? The Tundra TRD Pro gets a hybrid powertrain called i-Force Max that adds an additional 48 hp and 104 lb-ft of torque over the regular turbocharged V6 engine. That helped our test truck accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, a bit quicker than the standard Tundra (6.6 seconds). However, the F-150 with its hybrid powertrain is quicker still (5.7 seconds in our testing).
The Tundra's 10-speed automatic transmission shifts unobtrusively and promptly, and the brakes are easy to control and bring the truck down to a smooth stop in city traffic. Emergency braking is less impressive — our TRD Pro test truck needed a lengthy 141 feet to stop from 60 mph — but much of that can be attributed to the Pro's all-terrain tires. Those tires do help boost the Tundra's off-road capability a bit, as do the upgraded shock absorbers, increased ride height and locking rear differential.
Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the Tundra Hybrid? The Tundra crew cab is suitably comfortable for drivers and passengers. Space is abundant and the front seats have no problem areas. Like the standard Tundra, the TRD Pro version is composed and comfortable. You'll feel cracks and bumps, and the large all-terrain tires are noisy at certain speeds, but in general the ride quality is pretty smooth for a full-size truck.
The interior is relatively well insulated from outside noise, which is important because such a large truck — with both electric whine and two turbochargers, along with those all-terrain tires — can create a lot of noise. You will hear all of that hardware but won't need to yell to hold a conversation. Finally, the climate system is largely set it and forget it, and the controls are sensibly arranged and easy to locate.
Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? While the 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 body style.
When equipped with the optional panoramic sunroof and 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.

National average sale prices for the 2024 Toyota Tundra Hybrid
How’s the tech? The Tundra's 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. It's a solid system, but the standard audio system is pretty good too.
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 assistance, which wasn't particularly useful in keeping this big truck centered between lane markers.
Towing and Storage
7.5/10
How are the towing and storage? Without question, the Tundra is a capable truck. Our off-road-focused TRD Pro test vehicle was slightly compromised, however. Its maximum towing capacity and max hauling capacity are lower than other models in the lineup. But the TRD Pro provides plenty of confidence with a load, as we experienced, and its composite bed is a helpful feature for extra strength and protection.
The Tundra has big doors in its CrewMax configuration that allows for easy loading. But because the TRD Pro has a large hybrid battery underneath the rear seats, it's not possible to store anything in that area. Plenty of rivals offer additional storage there. The Tundra also lacks some clever storage options inside for front passengers.
Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below
Fuel Economy
6/10
How economical is the Tundra Hybrid? In its TRD Pro trim, the Tundra may come with a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain, but it's hardly a fuel-sipper. Electric power is mainly used to create additional horsepower and torque, and even attempting to coast on EV juice fails to improve efficiency much. The EPA estimates Tundra TRD Pro will get 19 mpg in combined city/highway driving. This is decent for a full-size truck, especially considering how much power it makes. But you'll be left wanting if you expect great fuel economy because of the hybrid powertrain. We also weren't able to match the EPA's estimate in substantial real-world driving.
Value
7/10
Is the Tundra Hybrid a good value? The price of entry is high for the Pro, and other models within the Tundra lineup provide better value. The good news is Toyota hit all the right marks with fit and finish. The Tundra has a distinctive interior that is well-put-together, and the TRD Pro delivers a lot of off-road-ready equipment.
Toyota backs up the Tundra with a three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and five-year/60,000-mile coverage for the powertrain. This coverage is about average for the class, though free maintenance for two years/25,000 miles is an added plus.
Wildcard
8/10
The Tundra TRD Pro's strong power, upgraded off-road prowess, and surprising level of comfort give you lots of capability and luxury. This truck doesn't necessarily excel in any one area, but diehard Tundra fans and even newcomers to the nameplate will find plenty to connect with.
Which Tundra does Edmunds recommend?
Our pick is the Limited trim level. It is available in both cab styles and comes with a generous list of standard features that can make living with the Tundra more satisfying. In addition, it's the least expensive pathway to get the Tundra's available i-Force Max hybrid powertrain.
The overall sentiment for the 2024 Toyota Tundra is mixed. Owners appreciate the truck's power, smooth ride, and comfortable interior, with many enjoying the updated features and spaciousness. However, there are complaints about the fuel economy, quality issues like squeaky interiors, misaligned doors, and excessive beeping noises. Some owners also report problems with the remote start, braking system, and lack of storage space, which affect their confidence in the truck's dependability.

2024 Toyota Tundra Limited 4dr CrewMax 4WD SB w/5.5' Bed (3.5L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 10A)
2024 Tundra Limited Hybrid CrewMax. Most disappointing and most expensive new vehicle purchase I’ve ever made in my 49 years of driving. This truck makes me sorely miss my 10 year old F-150.
Pros: The hybrid system has amazing power and is lightning fast and tows great. The rest of the truck is poorly put together.
Cons: All kinds of plastic interior squeaks and rattle's. Loose … headliner, windshield was replace due to being improperly installed at factory. The composite bed looks very durable and I’m sure it is but, it rattles and thunks so badly that’s all I hear on a bumpy road. Front wheels are scrubbing off on outside edges due to improper factory alignment. Terrible wind noise around front passenger windows at highway speeds. Loud enough to be uncomfortable. Truly unacceptable from a manufacturer that designs and builds as many vehicles as Toyota. The remote start has no range, maybe 20’. Can’t start it across a parking lot. If you can get it to work when you’re standing right next to the truck you must get the sequence just right. Remote start shuts the truck off when you open the door to get in. Also, the remote start will shut off if you drop the tailgate. It will not remote start if the doors are unlocked OR if the tailgate is down. Dumbest setup I’ve ever seen. I’ll never buy another Toyota. I hate this truck with a passion.
Chevrolet continues to refine the current-generation Silverado 1500, which can tow and carry more weight than the Toyota Tundra. Chevy doesn't offer a hybrid powertrain like the Tundra but the Silverado's remarkably efficient turbodiesel engine should continue to be available in 2024. Chevrolet also offers the Silverado with a wider array of cab and trim configurations. One Tundra advantage is its lower starting price.
The Ford F-150 is the Edmunds Top Rated pickup truck for good reason. It boasts excellent towing and hauling capability and is available in so many configurations it is easy to lose count. Plus, you can get turbocharged V6, V8, hybrid and electric drivetrains in a Ford F-150, covering all bases except for diesel. Ford also offers numerous practical and technological innovations for the F-150. In just about every category, the Tundra is outclassed in this matchup. Be sure to read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Ford F-150 to learn more.
The Ram 1500 is aging gracefully and remains an Edmunds staff favorite for its appealing design, comfortable and high-quality interior, and innovative storage solutions. Like other Tundra rivals, the Ram can tow and carry more weight than the Toyota, and similar to the Ford it is available as a high-performance off-roader making over 700 horsepower. In addition, the Ram offers a more sophisticated ride quality than the Tundra. Learn more by reading Edmunds' long-term road test of the Ram 1500.
