History/Overview
The Toyota Tundra is a full-size pickup truck that is one of the Japanese brand's largest vehicles. Toyota introduced the Tundra for the 2000 model year to replace the T100 model. The Tundra was designed in 2007 and received styling updates in 2014 and 2018.
What's New / Key Changes from Last Year
Toyota has two new Premium trims for 2020, both building on the Tundra's existing TRD Sport and TRD Pro packages. These new optional configurations add leather seats and steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert and a spray-in bed liner.
Toyota has also added an SX appearance package for the CrewMax model.
All Tundra trims also now include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a Connected Services by Toyota suite.
The only deletion for 2020 is a 4.6L engine offered last year in a single, entry-level 4x4 trim.
Available Trims
The sole 4x2 Tundra is the Double Cab long-bed model.
4x4 Double Cab trims are SR5 (standard or long bed) and Limited. 4x4 CrewMax models come in SR5, Limited and Platinum trims.
All Tundra trims use a 5.7L V8 and six-speed automatic transmission.
