Auto review: 2026 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro conquers … everything

Wrapped in Wave Maker blue paint, the redesigned 2026 Toyota Tundra is here in Grasso’s Garage.

Our weeklong tester, a 2026 Hybrid TRD Pro 4×4, was terrific. We noticed excellent comfort, great exterior appeal, and tons of utility — just a few reasons the 2026 Tundra satisfies consumers.

Powering our 2026 Tundra TRD-Pro tester was an i-FORCE MAX Twin-Turbo V-6 Hybrid, which offered 423 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque combined. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and three drive modes, the Tundra was ready for highway driving, off-road multi-terrain, tow/haul mode and excellent crawl control. Also handy were the 4WDemand Part-Time 4WD with electronic controlled transfer case, electronic locking rear differential and FOX Shocks suspension. While riding on 18-inch BBS Forged-aluminum wheels, we found the Tundra was less stiff and rode better than previous models.

On the interior, the Tundra is quite nice and comfortable. We recognized a 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM and JBL 12-speaker Audio system with subwoofer and amplifier. The spacious interior had great legroom and excellently padded leather seats, plus all of Toyota's usual safety features.

Toyota vehicles are known for their excellent sales numbers. The flagship pick-up truck is no exception, having moved more than 147,000 units in 2025. Although the loaded up TRD-Pro model clocks in at $72K without upgrades, it’s comparable in price to similar Ford, GM and Chevy models. With a final assembly plant in San Antonio, Texas, the Toyota Tundra is on the top of its game, and if you have ever been in the market for one, I honestly believe now is the time to test drive it.
