Quick Guide to the Seven 2026 Tundra Trims

TrimWhat to Know
SR Entry grade with a work-oriented focus and a lower-output version of the i-FORCE twin-turbo V6.
SR5 Adds equipment and configuration choices while using the 389-horsepower i-FORCE powertrain.
Limited Adds comfort and technology features and is the first Tundra grade offered with an i-FORCE MAX configuration.
Platinum Moves further into premium equipment and is offered in i-FORCE and i-FORCE MAX configurations.
1794 Edition Combines premium equipment with distinctive Western-inspired design and is offered in i-FORCE and i-FORCE MAX configurations.
TRD Pro Off-road-focused grade with i-FORCE MAX standard and specialized off-road equipment.
Capstone Top premium Tundra grade with i-FORCE MAX standard.

SR and SR5: Where the Tundra Lineup Starts

The SR is the entry point to the 2026 Tundra lineup and uses a lower-output version of the i-FORCE twin-turbo V6 rated at 358 horsepower. The SR5 uses the 389-horsepower version of the i-FORCE powertrain and expands the available equipment and configuration choices.

These grades can make sense for shoppers who want to start with the Tundra's core truck capability before moving into the additional comfort, technology and premium features offered higher in the lineup.

Limited: Where i-FORCE MAX Becomes Available

Limited is an important step in the Tundra lineup because it adds more comfort and technology while also introducing the option of the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain.

That means Limited shoppers have another decision beyond equipment: whether the available i-FORCE or i-FORCE MAX configuration better fits their needs. Powertrain availability can vary by configuration and inventory.

Platinum and 1794 Edition: Premium Tundra Choices

Platinum and 1794 Edition move further into the premium side of the Tundra lineup. Both are offered in i-FORCE and i-FORCE MAX configurations for 2026.

The 1794 Edition also brings its own Western-inspired design treatment, giving shoppers another way to distinguish between Tundra grades beyond powertrain and capability.

TRD Pro: Built Around Off-Road Capability

TRD Pro takes a different approach. Rather than simply moving higher on a luxury scale, it is configured around off-road capability and comes standard with the i-FORCE MAX powertrain.

Because towing ratings depend on the specific Tundra configuration, shoppers comparing TRD Pro with other grades should not assume that a higher-output powertrain automatically means a higher tow rating.

Capstone: The Premium End of the Tundra Lineup

Capstone sits at the top of the 2026 Tundra lineup and comes standard with the i-FORCE MAX powertrain. Its focus is premium equipment and appointments while retaining the capability of the Tundra platform.

i-FORCE vs. i-FORCE MAX

Powertrain choice is a separate decision from trim level. The standard-output i-FORCE produces 389 horsepower and 479 lb.-ft. of torque, while i-FORCE MAX combines the twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor for a combined 437 horsepower and 583 lb.-ft. of torque.

i-FORCE MAX is available beginning with Limited, is also offered on Platinum and 1794 Edition, and comes standard on TRD Pro and Capstone. The SR and SR5 use i-FORCE.

Horsepower and torque are only part of the comparison. Towing ratings, fuel-economy estimates, trim availability and other specifications can vary by configuration.

Which 2026 Tundra Trim Fits Your Needs?

Start with how you plan to use the truck. SR and SR5 keep the focus closer to the Tundra's core truck mission. Limited introduces additional comfort and technology along with i-FORCE MAX availability. Platinum and 1794 Edition move further into premium equipment, while TRD Pro emphasizes off-road capability. Capstone occupies the premium end of the lineup.

The next step is comparing the exact cab, bed, drivetrain, powertrain and equipment configuration you are considering. Those details can affect capability and availability even within the same trim level.
