What is the Tundra?
Toyota has made its full-size Tundra a hybrid for 2026. Be it an SR at the entry level or one of the more lavishly appointed Capstones, they all run on the i-FORCE MAX 3.4L twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain. The latter will put out 437 hp as opposed to the 358 hp of the SR. There is room for five in any trim. Most can be had in either RWD or 4WD but the 4WD comes as standard on the Platinum i-FORCE MAX, 1794 Edition i-FORCE MAX, TRD Pro and Capstone. Prices are set to range from $41,260* up to $80,800*.
Driving the 2026 Toyota Tundra in El Monte
You do not have to step up to a higher trim on the base SR for 8,300 lb of tow capacity. It is all that is required for a weekend trip over to Whittier Narrows Recreation Area with a small trailer or some gear in tow. Fuel economy is another factor. In the kind of stop-and-go commuting you encounter around the Civic Center, most trims will return 20 mpg combined so as to keep costs in check.
Torque is no issue either. The hybrid powertrain delivers 479 lb-ft for the most part, the i-FORCE MAX versions 583 lb-ft. All are good for five passengers and more than enough space for a party heading to Zamora Park. U.S. News has put the Tundra on its 2026 Best Cars for Families list for full-size pickups.
