Toyota is updating the Tundra full-size pickup for 2027 with restyled front ends, an off-road Trailhunter package, upgraded TRD Pro hardware and a new multimedia system with a standard 14-inch touchscreen. Toyota announced the truck on July 21 and says full specifications and pricing will follow in the fall of 2026.
The Tundra continues to offer a gas twin-turbo V6 or the available i-FORCE MAX hybrid, which Toyota says adds more torque and responsiveness. The July release does not list output, towing or fuel-economy figures for 2027.
Trailhunter comes to the full-size truck
The headline addition is the Trailhunter package, Toyota's factory-built overlanding treatment, here based on the SR5 grade. It adds Michelin LTX Trail 265/70R18 tires, an Old Man Emu suspension upgrade, front recovery hooks and extra underbody protection, along with Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control and a locking rear differential. Bronze-colored wheels and unique badges set it apart. Toyota says the package is positioned at a more accessible price point but has not said what that price is.
The TRD Pro remains the most off-road-focused Tundra. For 2027 it gets newly designed, Tundra-tuned FOX enhanced Q3S adjustable shocks, standard red tow hooks and a new Honeycomb paint color. ISO-dynamic seats are available inside, as is a TRD Performance package.
A squarer face across the lineup
Toyota's CALTY Design Research studio in Ann Arbor, Michigan, led the restyle. Every 2027 Tundra gets a squarer front end with a wider-looking stance, a center lower bumper treatment, rectangular fog lights set into the bumper and hexagon-themed grilles that vary by grade. The grille-mounted LED light bar is brighter, and RIGID fog lights are available. Grades again run SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro and Capstone.
New multimedia and safety tech
Inside, the Tundra moves to the newest Toyota Audio Multimedia system, which Toyota introduced on the 2026 RAV4. It uses AT&T 5G connectivity, a smartphone-style home screen with customizable widgets and faster responses to "Hey Toyota" voice commands, and a 14-inch screen is now standard. A built-in Drive Recorder dashcam uses the truck's exterior cameras to save 20-second clips of manual or triggered events when enabled.
With an active Remote Connect trial or subscription, Digital Key can now live in the native wallet app on compatible Apple, Google and Samsung devices, and owners can share access with up to five additional drivers. Toyota says near-field communication lets the key keep working for a period of time even after the phone's battery dies. i-FORCE MAX grades offer a 2.4-kW inverter for tools and camping gear.
Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 is standard. It bundles a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, full-speed dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, automatic high beams and Proactive Driving Assist.
What buyers should know
Based on what Toyota has released so far, the 2027 update is about styling, technology and off-road choice; the company has not announced powertrain changes. The Trailhunter is the version to watch, since it brings Old Man Emu suspension and a locking rear differential to an SR5-based truck. Until Toyota publishes prices and specifications this fall, it is too early to compare it with the TRD Pro on value. Coverage includes a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain coverage, 8 years or 100,000 miles on hybrid components and 10 years or 150,000 miles on the hybrid battery, plus ToyotaCare scheduled maintenance for one year or 10,000 miles.
