Key Features of the 2026 Toyota Tundra

i-FORCE MAX Hybrid Powertrain

Tundra’s available i-FORCE MAX twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain pairs a turbocharged gasoline engine with an electric motor to deliver 437 HP and 583 Lb.-Ft. of Torque. That means quick off-the-line response, robust midrange passing power, and confident acceleration when merging with a trailer attached. Because the electric motor contributes torque immediately, low-speed maneuvering with a load feels smooth and controlled. This powertrain shines during stop-and-go driving or on rolling highways, where the surge of torque helps reduce frequent downshifts. You’ll appreciate how the system’s integration feels seamless behind the wheel—no fuss, just accessible power—whether you’re climbing steep grades or easing a boat down a launch ramp.

i-FORCE Gas Powertrain

The standard i-FORCE turbocharged gasoline engine is a twin-turbo V6 designed for strong performance and quick acceleration. Rated at 389 HP and 479 Lb.-Ft. of Torque, this engine offers ample output for everyday hauling and long-distance towing. Turbocharging helps maintain torque at lower rpm, so the truck feels responsive without needing to rev hard, which can support a quieter, more relaxed cabin on longer drives. For owners who want straightforward, dependable power without stepping up to the hybrid, the i-FORCE gas powertrain is a smart choice—built for durability and tuned for confident highway merging, towing stability, and consistent pull up hills.

Multi-Link Rear Suspension

Tundra’s Multi-Link Rear Suspension with coil springs helps deliver a more settled ride and confident handling, whether the bed is empty or fully loaded. Compared with traditional leaf-spring setups, coil springs can improve lateral stability and allow the suspension to better absorb sharp impacts, reducing head toss on choppy surfaces. The benefit shows up everywhere: backing a trailer into a tight spot, crossing broken pavement near job sites, or cruising to trails on weekends. Integrated chassis tuning also supports towing stability, helping the truck stay composed over undulations and during wind gusts. It’s a suspension designed to work in harmony with Tundra’s powertrains and steering for predictable control.

Ultra-Durable Bed

Instead of stamped steel, Tundra uses an aluminum-reinforced composite bed designed to resist common pickup wear like dents, impacts, dings, and rust. Choose the 5.5-ft., 6.5-ft., or 8.1-ft. length to match tools, camper gear, or landscaping supplies. The composite surface is engineered to stand up to repeated loading and unloading without needing a liner to prevent corrosion. Practical details, like tie-down points and integrated bed design, make it easier to secure awkward cargo. For owners who load pallets one day and outdoor adventure equipment the next, the Ultra-Durable Bed’s materials help your truck keep looking and working like new, season after season.

Panoramic View Monitor

The available Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) uses cameras at the front, sides, and rear to create a helpful 360-degree view around your truck. On tight city streets or busy job sites, that means easier parking and fewer blind spots when threading through obstacles. When you’re hitching a trailer, a camera view can help you align the ball and coupler without repeated get-in, get-out moments. Pair that with the available 14-In. Multimedia Touchscreen and available 12.3-In. Digital Gauge Cluster, and you get crisp, clear visibility of your surroundings and vehicle systems. Available Trailer Backup Guide with Straight Path Assist can then support your backing maneuvers by helping keep the trailer on course, further easing stressful tasks.
