Toyota has said full 2027 specifications will be announced in fall 2026. Where this page lists engine, towing, payload and bed figures, they are Toyota's published 2026 Tundra numbers, which we will update as 2027 details are released.

This guide compares the Tundra with three full-size rivals: the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, the Ram 1500 and the Ford F-150.

Tundra engine, towing and payload figures are Toyota's 2026 numbers, shown until 2027 specifications are published, and the 2027 touchscreen size is from Toyota's 2027 announcement. The lowest-output Tundra grade carries a lower horsepower rating than the figure shown. Competitor figures come from published 2026 model listings. Maximum towing and payload apply to specific engine, cab, bed and drivetrain combinations, and specifications can differ by trim and model year, so confirm the details for the exact truck you are considering with a Valley Hi Toyota product specialist.
