2026 Toyota Tundra Hybrid Redesign and Update Plan

Exterior and Interior

The Tundra Hybrid is a very capable truck. It has plenty of room for five occupants, including generous leg- and headroom in the back. Although the non-hybrid version of the Tundra is available in a smaller four-door configuration, all hybrids come with four full-size doors for easier passenger access.

All three trims come with a 5-foot-6 bed, while the Limited can be fitted with a six-foot-six bed instead. Depending on trim, ground clearance ranges from 277 to 282 mm (10.9 to 11.1 in), towing capacity is 4,690 to 5,067 kg (10,340 to 11,171 lb), and payload is between 675 and 750 kg (1,488 and 1,653 lb.). In comparison, the non-hybrid Tundra can tow 5,045 kg (11,122 lb), and has a max payload of 825 kg (1,819 lb).

The Tundra Hybrid comes with a long list of amenities. The entry-level Limited trim comes with keyless entry, push-button start, push-button tailgate release (a key fob button lowers the tailgate), wireless charging for smartphones, a tow package (heavy duty tow hitch receiver), a 400-watt (120-Volt) power outlet in the bed, a heated steering wheel, power-adjustable heated and ventilated front seats, heated door mirrors, dual zone climate control, and more.

The Platinum trim adds notable goodies like a 12-speaker stereo, head-up display, leather upholstery, heated and ventilated rear seats, rain-sensing wipers, and power running boards. The top-of-the-line Capstone trim gets a few more features like front side laminated glass, better leather throughout, and 22-inch wheels (versus 20-inch alloys for all other trims).

Engine and Performance

Every Tundra Hybrid comes with the same twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 engine coupled with a small electric motor and a 10-speed automatic transmission. Toyota says 500 lb-ft of that torque is available from a standing start, which helps the Tundra Hybrid get moving from a dead stop, even with heavy load. In comparison, non-hybrid Tundras use the same engine, but total output is nearly 50 hp less, while torque registers at significantly smaller numbers, depending on trim.

2026 Toyota Tundra Hybrid Fuel Economy

All that size, power, and torque come at a cost, and the Tundra Hybrid is a thirsty truck. However, this test saw it consume 14.5 L/100 km, and that’s without towing a trailer or hauling any cargo. In comparison, the hybrid version of the 2026 Ford F-150 is rated for 11.4 around town, 10.1 on the highway, and 10.8 combined.

2026 Toyota Tundra Hybrid Safety Features

Every Tundra comes with an array of airbags, blind-spot monitoring, and more. Automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, junction turn assist, automatic high-beam control, adaptive cruise control, evasive steering assistance, and a sway warning system for towing.

2026 Toyota Tundra Hybrid Price and Release Date

If you’re shopping for a half-ton truck, Ford, General Motors (GM), and Ram are the de facto choices. If you really want a hybrid, however, the list of contenders shrinks to just two: this Toyota, and the Ford F-150 that starts at $60,635. Notably, it’s missing many of the features included here. Add them and the price gets much closer to what Toyota is asking.
