Toyota has introduced an updated version of its Tundra pickup truck for the 2027 model year, highlighting a refreshed exterior design, new technology, and an expanded factory-built overlanding option. The announcement was made in Plano, Texas, on July 21, 2026.
The 2027 Tundra features a redesigned front end developed by Toyota’s CALTY Design Research team in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The update emphasizes a sharper, more purposeful appearance with a wide, stable stance and a hexagonal grille theme.
Rectangular fog lights are integrated into the lower bumper, and the overall design aims to balance ruggedness with a more refined aesthetic based on customer feedback regarding how owners use the vehicle.
A key addition to the lineup is the new Trailhunter package, which is built on the SR5 grade. This package is designed for off-road capability and includes Michelin LTX Trail tires, an upgraded Old Man Emu suspension, front recovery hooks, and additional underbody protection. It also features Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, and a locking rear differential.
The package is distinguished by unique bronze-colored wheels and exclusive badges, and it is positioned at an accessible price point to attract customers seeking adventure-ready features.
Inside the cabin, the truck now comes standard with the latest Toyota Audio Multimedia system. The update includes a standard 14-inch touchscreen, which replaces previous screen sizes. The system integrates AT&T 5G network connectivity and offers customizable widgets on the home screen. It also features an embedded voice assistant that responds to "Hey Toyota" prompts with faster processing speeds.
