PLANO, TEXAS — The 2027 Toyota Tundra is set to level up its game with an array of exciting updates and enhancements designed to elevate style, capability, and the everyday driving experience. With a perfect blend of rugged performance, luxurious comfort, and advanced technology, the Tundra continues to be a top choice for drivers seeking a no-compromise full-size pickup. For 2027, Tundra brings a refreshed exterior, the introduction of the overlanding-ready Trailhunter package, upgraded TRD Pro suspension, and significant enhancements in towing technology. Expected to arrive at dealerships in the fall of 2026, the newest Tundra will have a starting MSRP of $42,890.

Purposeful and Modern Design: The updated 2027 Tundra reflects a design philosophy rooted in strength, purpose, and capability. Developed by Toyota Motor North America teams, the 2027 Tundra features a more modern front-end treatment that emphasizes authenticity. Across the lineup, the new front design language is well-balanced and sophisticated, featuring a wide, stable stance and a center lower bumper treatment that reinforces its rugged nature. Inside, the cabin also receives an all-new steering wheel design, adding a fresh tactile and visual touch to the driving environment.

New Tundra Trailhunter Package: Answering the call of off-road enthusiasts, the 2027 Tundra introduces the new Trailhunter package. Based on the SR5 grade, this rugged overlanding offering is built for customers who want enhanced trail performance straight from the factory. The package adds Michelin LTX Trail 265/70R18 tires, Old Man Emu upgraded suspension, front recovery hooks, and additional underbody protection to help prepare the truck for demanding terrain. By including complex components like 4WD, a locking rear differential, Crawl Control, and Multi-Terrain Select, Toyota provides the foundational hardware needed for serious exploration. This factory-built setup helps customers confidently enjoy the trail right off the lot, while also serving as the perfect starting point for a custom overland build using Toyota Genuine parts and accessories and Lifestyle products. The Tundra Trailhunter package further distinguishes itself with unique bronze-colored wheels and exclusive exterior badging. It also features color-selectable fog lamps.

Purpose-Built TRD Pro Upgrades: The TRD Pro grade continues to stand out as the ultimate off-road expression of the Tundra. For 2027, TRD Pro is equipped with newly designed and Tundra-tuned FOX enhanced QS3 shocks. These adjustable shocks are engineered to provide enhanced feel, stability, and adjustability over rough terrain. A striking new available Honeycomb exterior color adds a bold, high-impact presence, while standard red tow hooks provide a functional accent. The integrated light bar and fog lights now deliver improved lumen output for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. Inside, available ISO-dynamic seats help support driver and passenger comfort and stability during demanding off-road driving.

Next-Generation Toyota Audio Multimedia: The 2027 Tundra puts the latest-generation Toyota Audio Multimedia system front and center with a standard 14-inch touchscreen across the lineup. Developed by Toyota Connected North America, the new system integrates AT&T 5G network connectivity and features a configurable home screen, plus an always-on Quick Control shortcut menu. The system also includes the standard built-in Drive Recorder Dash Cam, Toyota's first camera with playback directly on the touchscreen. A 12.3-inch digital meter is now standard. Arene, an all-new software platform created by Woven by Toyota, enables added enhancements to advanced safety, security, voice recognition, connectivity features, and supports over-the-air update capabilities. All 2027 Tundra grades include a 5-year Connected Services trial for Remote Connect, Safety Connect and Service Connect, as well as a 3-month Drive Connect trial and a 30-day/Unlimited Wi-Fi Connect trial.

Refined Ride Comfort: The Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) system has been enhanced for delivering a more refined and composed ride, and it now comes standard on the Capstone grade. A new premium AVS and Air Suspension combination is now available across all grades, replacing the previous air-only setup on certain grades.

Enhanced Towing Technologies: The 2027 Tundra features a full suite of the latest Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 technologies in addition to new trailer-specific active driver-assist systems. The new Trailer ADAS suite includes Automated Trailer Detection, Trailer Blind Spot Monitor, Trailer Lane Trace Assist, and an improved Trailer Backup Guide with dynamic on-screen guidelines, a slider interface, and semi-automated steering support.

Uncompromising Performance and Capability: Under the hood, the Tundra continues to offer impressive powertrains, highlighted by the available i-FORCE MAX hybrid twin-turbo V6. This powerhouse delivers 437 net combined horsepower and 583 lb.-ft. of torque, allowing for a maximum towing capacity of up to 12,000 pounds. A 32.2-gallon fuel tank is now standard on all grades, along with a standard tow hitch and 7/4 pin connector. An available 2.4-kW inverter adds convenient onboard power for worksites, tailgates, and outdoor adventures.
