Body Styles

The Tundra is offered in Double Cab and CrewMax configurations, with either a 5.5-foot or 6.5-foot composite bed. Its design reflects boldness and modernity: a massive hexagonal grille, high beltline, squared-off wheel arches, and slim LED lighting. Aerodynamic sculpting in the fenders and tailgate adds functional sophistication. CrewMax variants are particularly spacious, with reclining rear seats and panoramic roof options. High trims get sequential LED indicators, dark chrome or satin accents, and integrated steps.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

“Tundra” references the vast, rugged Arctic landscapes, conveying durability, strength, and an ability to withstand harsh environments. Toyota selected the name to emphasize the truck’s capability in extreme conditions while maintaining comfort—highlighting its dual personality as a workhorse and family transporter.

Model Name Meaning (Languages)

“Tundra” is a geographical term meaning a cold, treeless biome found in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. In an automotive context, it evokes resilience, terrain mastery, and an outdoors-ready image, making it a fitting name for a tough, full-size pickup intended for a variety of climates and tasks.

vs Competitors

The Tundra Hybrid competes with trucks like the Ford F-150 PowerBoost, Ram 1500 eTorque, and Chevy Silverado 6.2L. Compared to the PowerBoost, the Tundra offers a simpler parallel hybrid setup and more predictable throttle behavior, though the Ford has better EV-only range. Against the Ram, the Tundra wins in drivetrain response and infotainment but lags slightly in ride plushness. Silverado counters with V8 immediacy but lacks hybrid efficiency. Where the Tundra excels is in overall packaging: strong hybrid performance, reliable build, excellent tech, and a modern platform. It blends power, refinement, and durability in a way few rivals match without premium badges.

Fun Fact

The Toyota Tundra marked a major milestone in the truck’s history as it became the first Tundra to ditch the V8 engine — instead debuting a pair of twin-turbocharged V6 powertrains, including the powerful i-FORCE MAX hybrid, which produces 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. This move surprised many traditional truck fans but proved Toyota’s commitment to efficiency without sacrificing performance, making it one of the most torque-rich full-size pickups on the market.

Another fun fact: the 2022+ Tundra rides on a fully redesigned TNGA-F platform, shared with the Land Cruiser and Lexus LX, and introduces a coil-spring rear suspension — a big leap from the old leaf springs. This drastically improved ride comfort and handling, especially for towing and off-roading. And here's a tech-savvy twist: it was also the first Toyota truck to feature an available 14-inch touchscreen with Toyota’s all-new infotainment system developed in Texas — where the Tundra is also proudly designed, engineered, and built.
