Pueblo Toyota – What to Know About the 2026 Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX

The 2026 Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX brings hybrid muscle to full-size trucking without asking you to choose between capability and refinement. Built on a high-strength boxed-steel frame with a multi-link rear suspension, this Tundra delivers confident towing manners, composed ride quality, and the kind of durability truck owners count on. Add in an upscale cabin with intuitive technology and you get a work-ready, family-friendly truck that is equally at home on the jobsite or a weekend trail run.

The i-FORCE MAX powertrain pairs a twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor packaged between the engine and the 10-speed automatic transmission. The result is immediate, low-rpm thrust for pulling away with a trailer, effortless highway passing, and refined day-to-day drivability. With available part-time 4WD, a two-speed transfer case, and trail hardware like an electronic locking rear differential, Multi-Terrain Select, and Crawl Control, the Tundra i-FORCE MAX is built to venture beyond the pavement while keeping daily comfort front and center.

• Powertrain: i-FORCE MAX hybrid system pairs a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor for robust output — rated at 437 hp and 583 lb-ft for confident towing and quick response.
• Capability: When properly equipped, maximum towing reaches up to 12,000 lbs and payload is competitive for the class, supported by Tow/Haul modes and integrated trailer tech.
• Chassis: Multi-link rear suspension enhances stability under load; available Adaptive Variable Suspension and load-leveling Rear Height Control Air Suspension help smooth out varying cargo and trailer weights.
• Tech: Available 14-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone charging, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and an available Head-Up Display keep key info visible and accessible.
• Trailering Confidence: Trailer Backup Guide with Straight Path Assist, Trailer Brake Control, and Trailer Sway Control help simplify setup and improve control with a trailer attached.
• Safety: Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 includes Pre-Collision with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Tracing Assist, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Automatic High Beams, and Road Sign Assist; Blind Spot Monitor with trailer detection is available.
• Off-Road Hardware: TRD Off-Road Package adds monotube Bilstein shocks, skid plates, and an electronic locking rear differential; TRD Pro models add FOX shocks, a lift, and underbody armor.
• Comfort & Craftsmanship: Heated and ventilated seats, available premium audio, acoustic glass, and an available panoramic roof elevate long-distance comfort and everyday luxury.

Pick the configuration that fits your life. Double Cab and CrewMax cabs are available with multiple bed lengths, including short, standard, and long bed options.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What makes the i-FORCE MAX different from the standard i-FORCE engine?

The i-FORCE MAX adds an electric motor between the V6 and the 10-speed automatic in a parallel-hybrid layout. That placement boosts low-end torque, smooths shifts, and supports towing without changing how you fuel — it is not a plug-in system.

How much can the 2026 Tundra i-FORCE MAX tow?

When properly equipped, published ratings indicate up to 12,000 lbs. Final numbers vary by cab, bed, drive type, axle ratio, and equipment. Our team can help you match the right configuration to your trailer’s weight, tongue weight, and intended use.

Can I get off-road features with the hybrid powertrain?

Yes. The i-FORCE MAX is available with 4×4 and trail systems like Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, and an electronic locking rear differential. The TRD Off-Road Package and TRD Pro take capability further with tuned shocks, skid plates, and terrain-focused tech.

Which cab and bed combinations are available?

You can configure a Double Cab or CrewMax with multiple bed lengths to prioritize passenger space, cargo volume, or garage fit. Talk with our team to balance cab comfort, bed length, payload, and trailer requirements for your typical week.

Does the hybrid system require special maintenance?

Service intervals are familiar, and Toyota-trained technicians handle hybrid components alongside routine items like oil changes and brake service. Hybrid system coverage and ToyotaCare scheduled maintenance help simplify ownership in the early years.
