Several Tundra trims have been improved for the new model year
Toyota has just announced a few updates to its Tundra pickup for the 2026 model year. Although there’s nothing quite as attention-grabbing as Ram bringing back the V8 to the 1500, the Tundra still receives some desirable additions for the new year, including a new color, an optional lift kit, and changes to the seats on specific trims.

The sporty and capable TRD Pro trim is now available with a new blue color called Wave Maker, which is also new for the Sequoia TRD Pro this year.

A TRD 3″ Lift Kit and Tow Tech Package is now available to spec with the TRD Rally pack, which should give the big truck even better off-roading capabilities.

Regardless of the trim, 2026 Tundras now all get a 32.2-gallon gas tank instead of the 22.5-gallon tank equipped to certain models. That means fewer refill stops.

Platinum and 1794 TRD Off-Road Package models are now available with power running boards. Elsewhere, the SX Package gets upgraded 20-inch alloy wheels.

Nothing changes under the hood, which means the Tundra still has a twin-turbo V6 with 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. A hybrid version produces 437 hp and 583 lb-ft, and while RWD is standard, 4WD is available.
The Tundra ranks as the longest-lasting light-duty vehicle you can buy.

The classy but expensive Capstone remains the 2026 Tundra’s top trim, and it now gets upgraded leather seats with a Shale Premium Textured finish.

The Capstone is not the only Tundra to enjoy interior updates. Limited models now get genuine leather instead of SofTex upholstery, in either black or grey, while Double Cab models now have air vents for those seated at the back.

The rugged TRD Pro still comes with a red interior. A new option for this trim, inherited from the Tacoma, is ISO Dynamic-type seats that are more comfortable when off-roading.

Toyota sticks with a standard eight-inch touchscreen or a larger 14-inch unit on upper trims. Providing added convenience is wireless operation of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
