Video Summary
The 2026 Toyota Tundra can tow up to 12,000 pounds with the gas i-FORCE engine, or up to 11,450 pounds with the i-FORCE MAX hybrid, when properly equipped. Those are the ceilings for each powertrain, and not every Tundra is rated that high. A truck's rating depends on its cab, bed, drivetrain and equipment, so two Tundras that look alike can carry different tow ratings. To find your number, start with your trailer's loaded weight, not its empty weight. Then look up the rating for your truck's configuration on toyota.com, or ask Freeman Toyota to look it up with you. Before you tow, follow the towing instructions in your owner's manual. Towing is only half the math: payload matters too, and our video on Tundra payload versus towing capacity covers it.
