2026 Toyota Tundra Overview
The 2026 Toyota Tundra combines powerful engine options, advanced towing technology, and a full range of trims to meet virtually any demand — from daily commuting in Temecula to heavy hauling across Murrieta and the Inland Empire. Whether you need a dependable work truck or a refined full-size pickup for weekend adventures near Fallbrook, the Tundra delivers Toyota’s proven reliability with modern performance.
Powertrain Options
Every 2026 Tundra is built around the i-FORCE 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. In the SR trim, this engine produces 348 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. SR5 and higher trims increase output to 389 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque.
Starting with the Limited trim, buyers can upgrade to the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, which pairs the twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor for a combined 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque. The hybrid is available exclusively in CrewMax cab configurations.

Trim Lineup
The 2026 Tundra is available in seven core trims — SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro, and Capstone — with i-FORCE MAX hybrid variants offered on Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, and Capstone. From the work-ready SR with LED headlights and Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 to the luxury-appointed Capstone with premium leather, a panoramic moonroof, and a 14-inch touchscreen, there is a Tundra configured for every lifestyle and budget.
The TRD Pro stands apart as the off-road specialist, pairing the hybrid powertrain with specialized suspension, skid plates, and all-terrain tires — ideal for drivers in Winchester and Wildomar who venture beyond the pavement.
