2026 Toyota Tundra Changes: Crazy Shock-Absorber Seats, Sweet Paint, More Equipment
Toyota's truck and SUV lineup is as fresh as they come, though the full-size Tundra has been left out of that cycle of newness of late. That changes for 2026. To keep its biggest truck up to date—at least relative to the new-for-2024 midsize Tacoma and SUVs such as the Land Cruiser, 4Runner, and new RAV4—Toyota is gifting the Tundra a rash of small but impactful updates while stopping short of a full-on mid-cycle refresh or total redesign. The 2026 Toyota Tundra gets updates like shock-absorber seats from the Tacoma TRD Pro, a new paint color, and more standard features. Various trims see minor enhancements, and pricing and availability are expected soon. This summary was generated by AI using content from this MotorTrend article Read Next To that end, the 2026 Tundra lineup looks a lot like the 2025 lineup, with SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro, and Capstone trim levels available with either Toyota's i-Force twin-turbo 3.4-liter V-6 or, on Limited models or higher (and standard on the TRD Pro and Capstone), the i-Force MAX version of the same engine with hybridization. Power from these two engines is unchanged, with the gas i-Force delivering 389 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque (or 348 hp and 405 lb-ft on the entry-level Tundra SR) and the hybridized i-Force MAX upping those figures to 437 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque thanks to its 48-hp, 184-lb-ft electric motor between the engine and transmission. Toyota offers both Double Cab and longer Crew Cab body styles, both of which have four doors, along with three bed sizes (5.5 feet, 6.5 feet, or 8.1 feet in length). As before, not every Tundra is available with every combination. So, What's New? Toyota has made the previously optional 32.2-gallon fuel tank standard across the lineup, added a new Shale (light gray) textured leather to the Capstone model, and made leather seats (in either black with white stitching or gray with black stitching) standard on the Limited model. Double Cab Tundras gain rear-seat air vents (sprouting from the back of the center console and facing the rear-seat passengers), and every Tundra now gets a tow hitch and 7/4 pin trailer connector standard. Narrowing the focus even tighter, Platinum and 1794 Edition Tundras equipped with the TRD Off-Road package can now be ordered with power-deploying running boards, while the SX package available on lower-tier Tundras now comes with 20-inch wheels, up from 18s, in addition to the body-color trim it included previously. TRD Rally package–equipped Tundras are now offered with a TRD 3-inch Lift Kit and Tow Tech package that combines, well, the TRD Rally Package, a 3-inch suspension lift, and the Tow Tech packages offered separately into one (likely $10,000-plus) bucket. The TRD Pro trim level sees the biggest upgrades, with a new exclusive paint color for 2026 (the striking light blue "Wave Maker" pictured here) shared with other '26 model-year TRD Pro Toyotas such as the 4Runner, Tacoma, and Sequoia. Toyota has also made the "Iso Dynamic" shock-absorbing front seats from the midsize Tacoma TRD Pro available on the Tundra TRD Pro. You can read about how these work here, and it's worth mentioning a key demerit of those seats, that they take up a ton of space, is seemingly solved here on the Tundra. With the Tundra's more generous rear space, the Iso Dynamic seats and their array of shock absorbers likely won't intrude as noticeably on rear passengers' legroom as they most certainly do in the Tacoma. Prices for the Tundra rise modestly on most trim levels, though the entry-level SR model sees the biggest jump ($1,270) year over year. Some of the lineup-wide increases are owed to the steeper destination charge, which rises from $1,995 to $2,095. 2026 Toyota Tundra Full Lineup Pricing

Stocks are tanking on Trump's latest tariff announcements
US stocks deepened losses on Monday after Trump announced 25% tariffs on Japan and South Korea. In letters published on Truth Social, Trump said he would impose a 25% duty on goods from those countries. Major indexes tumbled, with several auto and semiconductor stocks taking a hit. US stocks dropped sharply on Monday after President Donald Trump gave an upage on trade war. Major benchmark indexes fell shortly after the president said in a post on social media that the US would impost 25% tariffs on goods from Japan and South Korea. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over 500 points, while the Nasdaq and the benchmark S&P 500 were both down by about 1%. S&P 500: 6,225.21, down 0.86% Dow Jones Industrial Average: 44,342.70, down 1.13% (-507.81 points) Nasdaq composite: 20,403.46, down 0.96% Trump announced the latest tariffs on Truth Social, publishing letters he sent to Lee Jae-myung, the president of South Korea. The letters came several hours after he threatened to impose an additional 10% tariff on nations aligning themselves with policies of the BRICS bloc. "Please understand that the 25% number is far less than what is needed to eliminate the Trade Deficit disparity we have with your Country," Trump wrote, later adding that if Japan or Korea were to impose retaliatory tariffs, the amount of those tariffs would be tacked on to the US's 25% import duty. "These Tariffs may be modified, upward or downward, depending on our relationship with your Country. You will never be disappointed with the United States of America," Trump added. The president also pushed out the US's deadline to enforce his original Liberation Day tariffs to August 9, and said more "UNITED STATES TARIFF Letters, and/or Deals, with various countries around the World," would be delivered in the afternoon. Shares of automakers and tech hardware firms saw losses that outpaced those of the broader market. Here were some other big moves in afternoon trading: Toyota Motor Corporation (TM): -3.92% Honda Motor Co. (HMC): -3.72% Advanced Micro Devices (AMD): -2.12% Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) -2.41% The developments are sparking more concern that Trump's tariffs could end up at a higher level than initially thought, despite agreements struck with China, the UK, and Vietnam. "Markets are tilting to a risk-off posture as participants brace for the chance of Trump tariff-sparked turbulence in the coming hours and days," José Torres, a senior economist at Interactive Brokers, wrote in a note. Prior to the tariff letters being released, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signaled that the US would announce more trade deals over the next 48 hours. "It's going to be a very busy couple of days," Bessent told CNBC on Monday, adding that his mailbox had been filled with new offers from other countries. "It's just, 'Thank you for wanting to trade with the United States of America. We welcome you as a trading partner. And here's the rate, unless you want to come back and try to negotiate,'" he added.
