2023 TUNDRA
Features
Electrified i-FORCE MAX Powertrain
Tundra’s available i-FORCE MAX engine applies hybrid tech for more performance. By pairing the Twin-Turbo V6 with an electric motor, this hybrid engine generates an electrifying 437 horsepower with an amazing 583 lb.-ft. of torque. And the unique placement of the electric motor between the engine and transmission allows power to be transferred efficiently, with no discernible lag. Charging up the trail or merging onto the freeway—the second you feel the instantaneous torque across the powerband, you’re ready to keep the adventure going.
i-FORCE MAX Twin-Turbo V6 Powertrain
Tundra’s available i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain generates its 583 lb.-ft. of torque where you need it most, in the low rpm range. Maximum torque from the electric motor generator is achieved at 2400 rpm. The moment you step on the gas, you’re ready for action. And you can keep on driving with confidence, knowing this truck was built with the quality, durability and reliability Toyota is recognized for.
Max Towing of up to 12,000 Lbs.
Its powertrain, frame and suspension work together to give Tundra an available max towing capacity of up to 12,000 lbs. Whether you’re towing your trailer for a weekend getaway or taking the ATVs out for a spin in the desert, Tundra helps you haul with confidence.
10-Speed Automatic Transmission
More gears. More control. More torque. Tundra’s 10-speed automatic transmission helps you harness more power when climbing a muddy hill, towing a trailer, or cruising on the freeway.
Up to EPA-Est. 22 MPG Combined
Tundra’s modern muscle delivers exceptional power without sacrificing efficiency. When equipped with the hybrid i-FORCE MAX powertrain, Tundra has an impressive EPA-estimated 22 mpg combined. And its standard i-FORCE engine has a remarkable EPA-estimated 20 mpg combined. No matter the adventure, this body-on-frame hauler was engineered to go the extra mile.
Electrified Motor, Generator and Battery
Tundra’s i-FORCE MAX hybrid electric motor uses its Power Control Unit (PCU) to deliver incredible performance and enhanced battery durability. This advanced system fills in the gaps of the torque curve to make it as high and as flat as possible—delivering instant torque and a thrilling drive. And all this potential power is stored in a tried-and-true 288V sealed Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack that sits strategically under the rear passenger seats.
Crawl Control
Available on TRD Pro and TRD Off-Road Packages, Tundra’s next-generation Crawl Control (CRAWL) system helps you smoothly and quietly take on tough terrain. With the simple press of a button, this advanced system automatically modulates the throttle and brakes on five low-speed settings, so you can keep your focus on navigating across difficult terrain.
Multi-Terrain Select
When you’re in the thick of it, this available system helps regulate wheelspin by automatically adjusting the engine throttle and traction control. In 4x4 low and high range, a quick turn of the dial toggles between terrain modes: Mud, Sand, Rock, Mogul (i-FORCE only) or Auto (i-FORCE MAX only).
Electronically Locking Rear Differential
Tundra’s available electronically locking rear differential for TRD Pro and TRD Off-Road Packages evenly distributes engine power to both rear wheels. Once the system is engaged, both rear wheels move at the same speed and provide more grip in low-traction conditions.
Adaptive Variable Suspension
Now available for the first time on Tundra, Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) adjusts damping force based on ever-changing road conditions. Whether it be a large pothole, bump or rock, Tundra’s built-in actuators in the front and rear shock absorbers are designed to continuously change damping force for refined riding comfort, confident handling and enhanced towing stability.
Load-Leveling Rear Height Control Air Suspension
Tundra’s rear air suspension automatically adjusts the rear to help it stay level when hauling a heavy load. Available on certain grades, this system also lets you choose from three manual height modes: High, for slow-speed, off-road driving; Low, to help with loading and unloading; and Normal, for everyday driving.
Lift Kit
Tundra’s off-road capability gets a heroic-looking boost with a TRD 3-in. lift kit, now available for new i-FORCE and i-FORCE MAX 4x4 models. Featuring unique Bilstein® monotube shocks that are tuned specifically for the dynamics of this generation of Tundra, forged upper control arms and red TRD-tuned coil springs, this upgrade works seamlessly with Tundra’s standard features and is the only Toyota-approved lift kit compatible with the Toyota Safety Sense™ system.

This state-of-the-art foundation makes Tundra the most durable body-on-frame hauler to come off our Texas assembly line.
Multi-Link Rear Suspension
