With inflation driving auto prices upward lately, I am happy to report that the 2026 Toyota Tundra saw relatively unchanged pricing across the lineup, with some catches. ## What Changes Did Toyota Make? ![2026 Toyota Tundra updated 4]() A larger gas tank is now standard meaning more time to play and less time stopping at the gas station. (Photo courtesy Toyota) Toyota made several significant changes to the Tundra lineup for 2026. Some localized changes include adding the ISO Dynamic Seats from the Tacoma TRD Pro as an option to the Tundra TRD Pro. I have tested these seats in the Tacoma and can confirm they work at speed off-road, but they hamper rear legroom in the already cramped Tacoma, which should not be a problem in the larger Tundra. This is a great addition. Other changes include a standard 32.3-gallon fuel tank in all models, updated Shale Premium Textured Leather in the Capstone trim, new Wave Maker colorway available on the TRD Pro, and an optional 3-inch lift kit and Tow Tech Package on the TRD Rally Package. ## Toyota Tundra Pricing Comparison By Trim (2025 to 2026) ![Toyota Tundra engine recall]() Toyota Tundra Limited in Supersonic Red (Photo Courtesy of Toyota) For 2025, there were 33 different trim (or grade in Toyota speak) drive/cab/engine/bed configurations. For 2026, Toyota offers 32 different configurations, but with one long addition, see the chart below: | Grade | Drive | Cab | Bed | Engine | 2025 Pricing | 2026 Pricing | Change | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | SR | 4×2 | Double Cab | 6.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $40,090 | $41,260 | $1,170 | | SR | 4×2 | Double Cab | 8.1-ft. | i-FORCE | $40,420 | $41,590 | $1,170 | | SR | 4×2 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft | i-FORCE | $42,140 | $43,260 | $1,120 | | SR | 4×4 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $45,140 | $46,260 | $1,120 | | SR | 4×4 | Double Cab | 6.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $43,090 | $44,260 | $1,170 | | SR5 | 4×2 | Double Cab | 6.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $45,960 | $46,510 | $550 | | SR5 | 4×4 | Double Cab | 6.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $48,960 | $49,510 | $550 | | SR5 | 4×4 | Double Cab | 8.1-ft. | i-FORCE | | $50,375 | | | SR5 | 4×2 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $48,010 | $48,510 | $500 | | SR5 | 4×4 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $51,010 | $51,510 | $500 | | SR5 | 4×2 | CrewMax | 6.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $49,320 | $49,375 | $55 | | SR5 | 4×4 | CrewMax | 6.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $52,320 | $52,375 | $55 | | Limited | 4×2 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $54,305 | $54,860 | $555 | | Limited | 4×4 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $57,305 | $57,860 | $555 | | Limited | 4×2 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft. | i-FORCE MAX | $58,005 | $58,560 | $555 | | Limited | 4×4 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft. | i-FORCE MAX | $61,005 | $61,560 | $555 | | Limited | 4×2 | CrewMax | 6.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $54,635 | $55,190 | $555 | | Limited | 4×4 | CrewMax | 6.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $57,635 | $58,190 | $555 | | Limited | 4×2 | CrewMax | 6.5-ft. | i-FORCE MAX | $58,335 | $58,890 | $555 | | Limited | 4×4 | CrewMax | 6.5-ft. | i-FORCE MAX | $61,335 | $61,890 | $555 | | Platinum | 4×2 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $63,675 | $63,695 | $20 | | Platinum | 4×4 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $66,675 | $66,695 | $20 | | Platinum | 4×2 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft | i-FORCE MAX | $67,585 | | | | Platinum | 4×4 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft. | i-FORCE MAX | $70,585 | $70,605 | $20 | | Platinum | 4×4 | CrewMax | 6.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $67,005 | $67,025 | $20 | | Platinum | 4×4 | CrewMax | 6.5-ft. | i-FORCE MAX | $70,915 | $70,935 | $20 | | 1794 Edition | 4×2 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $64,360 | $64,380 | $20 | | 1794 Edition | 4×4 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $67,360 | $67,380 | $20 | | 1794 Edition | 4×2 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft | i-FORCE MAX | $68,285 | | | | 1794 Edition | 4×4 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft. | i-FORCE MAX | $71,285 | $71,305 | $20 | | 1794 Edition | 4×4 | CrewMax | 6.5-ft. | i-FORCE | $67,690 | $67,710 | $20 | | 1794 Edition | 4×4 | CrewMax | 6.5-ft. | i-FORCE MAX | $71,615 | $71,635 | $20 | | TRD Pro | 4×4 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft. | i-FORCE MAX | $72,510 | $72,565 | $55 | | Capstone | 4×4 | CrewMax | 5.5-ft. | i-FORCE MAX | $80,725 | $80,800 | $75 | | Destination | $1,945 | $2,095 | $150 | | | | | It is interesting to see Toyota drop both the RWD Platinum and RWD 1794 Edition options from the 2026 model lineup. The removal of these two grades has dropped the average price of the entire lineup by 1%, while each direct comparison to 2025 does see a price increase. The biggest catch when comparing pricing is the 8% increase in the destination charge to all models for 2026. Given that [US inflation has been around 3%](), I am curious why there is such a large spike in the destination charge while pricing on the models themselves remains so flat year to year. ## Entry SR Sees the Biggest Increases ![]() 2026 Toyota Tundra SR (Photo Courtesy of Toyota) The entry SR grade sees the biggest increases across the lineup. With a price increase of over $1,000 on all configurations. Pricing of the SR keeps up with the national rate of inflation, but far outweighs the rest of the Tundra lineup. This is thanks to the addition of the new 32.2-gallon fuel tank across the entire lineup, which replaces the 22.5-gallon tank standard in the 2025 model. This additional 10 gallons of fuel does decrease the max payload of the 2026 SR by 110 pounds, marking a similar transition to what Ford did, eliminating the F-150’s smaller tank on the change to the 2024 model year. It appears the 2025’s optional $430 SR Tow Package is also included in the price increases year over year, helping justify the larger price tag of the entry model. The package includes a Class-IV towing hitch receiver and wiring harness with 7-pin connector. ## Limited Gets Leather ![]() 2026 Toyota Tundra Limited Leather Seats (Photo Courtesy of Toyota) The 2025 model year Limited grades came standard with Toyota’s synthetic leather branded SofTex. For 2026 Limited models, standard leather seating surfaces are available in Black or Boulder colorways. Leather was not even an option on 2025 Limited models, forcing consumers who wanted cowhide to step up to the Platinum. ## SR5 Adds a Long Bed ![]() 2026 Toyota Tundra SR5 with 8.1-foot Bed (Photo Courtesy of Toyota) Toyota still offers an 8.1-foot bed option on its two value SR grade, but now offers it on the SR5 as well. The SR5 is really the best bang-for-your-buck grade offered on the Tundra, so the addition of the long bed should make more consumers happy in the 2026 model year. ## Top Grades See Modest Increases ![2026 Toyota Tundra updated 2]() No more white, thank goodness, for the Toyota Tundra Capstone and instead, it will come with a gray interior. (Photo courtesy Toyota) If you were in the market for one of the more premium grades of Tundra, you are in luck. Outside of the SR, all grades see price increases less than the amount of inflation, destination charges notwithstanding. Minimal changes to Platinum grades and higher increase prices ranging from $20-$75. That is quite a steal! Tim highlights all the big changes outside of pricing in a [separate article]() on the site. ## How Does It Compare To Tim’s 2022? ![2022 Toyota Tundra]() 2022 Toyota Tundra (Photo by Tim Esterdahl) [Tim purchased a 2022 model]()for a year of ownership review. Luckily for us, he documented the process quite well, including giving us insights into what options he had and what he paid: | **Description** | **Tim’s 2022** | **2026** | **Change** | **%** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Limited 4×4 | $53,595 | $59,855 | $6,260 | 12% | | JBL Premium Audio | $565 | $565 | $0 | 0% | | Limited Premium Package | $395 | $395 | $0 | 0% | | Limited Power Package | $385 | $385 | $0 | 0% | | TRD Off-Road Package | $3,085 | $3,580 | $495 | 16% | | Power Panoramic Roof | $1,350 | $1,350 | $0 | 0% | | Heated Leather Steering Wheel | $150 | $150 | $0 | 0% | | Total Options | $5,930 | $6,425 | $495 | 8% | | Total Price | $59,525 | $66,280 | $6,755 | 11% | Toyota impressively kept the pricing under the [national rate of inflation of 19.9%]() since Tim purchased his truck at the end of 2021. Had Toyota kept pace with inflation, Tim’s exact truck would have cost $71,250 in 2025. As you can see by the chart above, most options kept the exact same price from four years ago, with only the TRD Off-Road Package changing. Shocking still is that the TRD package is still under the inflation rate. I feel this further highlights how good Toyota is at manufacturing and holding its suppliers to negotiated pricing. ## Related vehicle coverage - [2026 Toyota Tundra]() ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/12/2026-toyota-tundra-pricing-holds-with-a-catch/#article", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/12/2026-toyota-tundra-pricing-holds-with-a-catch/" }, "author": { "name": "Cory Fourniquet", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#/schema/person/1d50641f3e46681f22b3c356a478d2da" }, "headline": "2026 Toyota Tundra Pricing Holds, with a Catch", "datePublished": "2025-12-12T18:09:42+00:00", "dateModified": "2026-08-18T14:45:05+00:00", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/12/2026-toyota-tundra-pricing-holds-with-a-catch/" }, "wordCount": 1228, "commentCount": 0, "publisher": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#organization" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/12/2026-toyota-tundra-pricing-holds-with-a-catch/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2026_toyota_trdpro_tundra_wavemaker_1-copy.webp", "keywords": [ "2026 toyota tundra", "2026 Tundra", "toyota", "tundra", "Tundra TRD Pro" ], "articleSection": [ "Buyer's Guide", "Featured on Home Page", "News", "What's New" ], "inLanguage": "en-US", "potentialAction": [ { "@type": "CommentAction", "name": "Comment", "target": [ "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/12/2026-toyota-tundra-pricing-holds-with-a-catch/#respond" ] } ] }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/12/2026-toyota-tundra-pricing-holds-with-a-catch/", "url": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/12/2026-toyota-tundra-pricing-holds-with-a-catch/", "name": "2026 Toyota Tundra Pricing Holds, with a Catch", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#website" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/12/2026-toyota-tundra-pricing-holds-with-a-catch/#primaryimage" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/12/2026-toyota-tundra-pricing-holds-with-a-catch/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2026_toyota_trdpro_tundra_wavemaker_1-copy.webp", "datePublished": "2025-12-12T18:09:42+00:00", "dateModified": "2026-08-18T14:45:05+00:00", "description": "Small changes to the 2026 Toyota Trundra results in modest price changes, mostly.
