2027 Tundra: what’s new and what it costs
Trims, the hybrid, towing tech and the Trailhunter, from Toyota’s Nov. 5, 2026 announcement.
The 2027 Toyota Tundra is the updated version of Toyota’s full-size pickup, with a new front design, a standard 14-inch touchscreen, Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 and a new Trailhunter off-road package. Toyota announced full details on Nov. 5, 2026 and says the truck starts at $42,890 and arrives at dealers in the fall of 2026.
Toyota first showed the updated Tundra on July 21, 2026, and searches spiked again this week when pricing and specs came out. The Tundra competes with the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra and Ram 1500, so the changes matter to contractors, small fleets and families who tow.

Engines: the i-FORCE MAX hybrid
Toyota’s release highlights the available i-FORCE MAX, a hybrid twin-turbo V6 that makes 437 net combined horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. Toyota says the 2027 Tundra can tow up to 12,000 pounds, and every grade gets a 32.2-gallon fuel tank, a standard tow hitch with a 7- and 4-pin connector and an available 2.4-kW inverter for power tools or camping gear.
The standard engine is the non-hybrid i-FORCE twin-turbo V6. Toyota’s Nov. 5 release did not restate its power or towing figures, so check the window sticker or Toyota’s build tool for the exact numbers on the truck you are considering.

New tech inside the 2027 Tundra
- Screens: a standard 14-inch touchscreen with Toyota’s latest multimedia system and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster.
- Toyota Safety Sense 4.0, standard: Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, Automatic High Beams and Proactive Driving Assist.
- More driver aids: Panoramic View Monitor and Safe Exit Alert.
- Suspension: a premium adaptive variable suspension and air suspension combination is available across grades and standard on the Capstone.
Towing tech: what TADAS does
Toyota groups its new trailer features as TADAS. They are aimed at the hardest parts of towing: seeing around a trailer and backing it up.
Toyota’s trailer-assist features on the 2027 Tundra
- Automated Trailer DetectionThe truck recognizes when a trailer is connected.
- Trailer Blind Spot MonitorExtends blind-spot warnings to cover the length of the trailer.
- Trailer Lane Trace AssistHelps keep the truck and trailer centered in the lane.
- Improved Trailer Backup GuideGuides the driver when reversing a trailer.
The new Trailhunter package
Trailhunter is Toyota’s overlanding badge, and on the Tundra it is a package for the SR5. Toyota lists Michelin LTX Trail 265/70R18 tires, Old Man Emu suspension, front recovery hooks, underbody protection, four-wheel drive, a locking rear differential, Crawl Control, Multi-Terrain Select, bronze wheels and color-selectable fog lamps. Dealership Guy reported that the package adds $5,880 to the SR5; Toyota’s release did not state that price.
Warranty
Toyota lists a 36-month/36,000-mile basic warranty, 60 months/60,000 miles on the powertrain, eight years/100,000 miles on hybrid components and 10 years/150,000 miles on the hybrid battery.
Is the 2027 Toyota Tundra a good business truck?
For contractors and small fleets, three changes stand out: standard driver-assist features that can reduce accident risk, trailer tech that saves time on job sites, and the available inverter for tools. Dealership Guy reported Tundra sales of 122,384 so far in 2026 and a 9.7% year-over-year gain in October, a sign of steady demand that can limit discounts.
Compare the total cost of ownership, not just the price: financing rate, insurance, fuel, maintenance and resale. A truck used mostly for business may qualify for tax deductions; confirm the rules for your situation with a tax professional and see our small business taxes guide.
Common mistakes
- Comparing the wrong prices. The $42,890 start is a 4×2 SR; 4×4 and higher grades cost more.
- Assuming every Tundra tows 12,000 pounds. Towing depends on the engine, cab, bed and axle.
- Forgetting destination fees. MSRP usually excludes delivery, taxes and dealer add-ons.
- Skipping a test tow. Try the trailer features with your own trailer before you sign.
- Paying for a package you won’t use. The Trailhunter is built for off-road travel.
Key terms
- MSRP: the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, before fees and taxes.
- i-FORCE MAX: Toyota’s hybrid twin-turbo V6 for the Tundra.
- Toyota Safety Sense 4.0: Toyota’s standard bundle of driver-assist and crash-avoidance features.
- Trailhunter: Toyota’s off-road and overland package.
- Lb-ft (pound-feet): the unit for torque, the twisting force that helps a truck pull.
The bottom line: the 2027 Toyota Tundra starts at $42,890, adds standard tech and safety features, offers a 437-hp hybrid rated to tow up to 12,000 pounds and brings a Trailhunter package for off-road buyers. Price the exact configuration you need before comparing it with rivals.
