Nothing stands still for too long, but it’s a safe bet that most truck shoppers in Stanleytown, Danville, Rocky Mount, and Greensboro will want their new truck to look how they expect a truck to look, and the 2024 Toyota Tundra doesn’t disappoint. While the exterior styling of the Tundra is unashamedly muscular and rugged, this truck also embraces the latest tech with hybrid powertrain options and cutting-edge safety and driver-assist features.
The 2024 Toyota Tundra is available in seven distinct trim levels, but choosing the trim level is only one part of a journey that can conclude with a truck ideally suited to your style and needs. The first model in the lineup is the entry-level Tundra SR, and from there, the range goes to the SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro, and the appropriately named top-of-the-line Capstone.
It’s fair to say there’s nothing subtle about the exterior styling of the 2024 Tundra after the last dramatic redesign, but when did full-size trucks need to be subtle? Every trim level wears its own distinct style, but all models feature a wall of a front end that features a large grille flanked by a set of small, complex, and thoroughly contemporary LED headlights.
There are three powertrain options for the 2024 Toyota Tundra, but all three are based around an impressive 3.5-liter twin-turbo gas V-6. When this engine is under the hood of the entry-level SR trim level, it produces 358 horsepower and 406 lb.-ft. of torque, which is an impressive starting point by any standard. You only need to go up one level to the SR5, and the twin-turbo V-6 is then tuned to produce 389 horsepower and 479 lb.-ft. of torque. However, the Tundra is also available with a hybrid powertrain from the Limited trim upwards. The hybrid pushes the output of the Tundra to 437 horsepower and 583 lb.-ft. of torque, and this hybrid powertrain is the standard unit for TRD Pro and Capstone models.
All three powertrains deliver outstanding acceleration, and the hybrid models are genuinely fast and can even run on electric-only at city speeds below 18 mph. The maximum towing capacity of a properly configured 2024 Toyota Tundra is 12,000 pounds, and the maximum payload is 1,940 pounds. The fuel economy of hybrid models is similar to non-hybrid versions of the Tundra, but it is impressive for a truck of this size and with that much power.
There’s no such thing as a really basic version of the 2024 Toyota Tundra, with even the base model featuring standard LED auto on/off headlights, remote keyless entry, push-button start, power features, a backup camera, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Retail shoppers will likely start with the SR5, which upgrades to include 18-inch alloy wheels, a trailer hitch, the more powerful engine, and more available options.
The Capstone is more than worthy of its range-topping status and starts to encroach on full-blown luxury. Standard features include genuine leather upholstery, wood trim, the powerful hybrid powertrain, four-wheel drive, panoramic power roof, Panoramic View Monitor, a 12.3-inch digital meter with selectable gauge display screens, a color head-up display, heated and ventilated front & rear seats, and much more. There are a few package teaks and upgrades to the Tundra for 2024. And except for the TRD Pro, which has its own suspension system, all versions are now available with a factory-installed three-inch lift kit.
The 2024 Toyota Tundra can be all the pickup truck you’ll ever need, and the legendary durability of Toyota trucks means it can last as long as you want it to last or longer.
