At Thayer Toyota in Bowling Green, Ohio, we're proud to have the latest 2026 Tundra models on our lot - including gas and i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrains across popular trims like SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro, and Capstone. Stop by today to experience why the Tundra remains a top choice for Ohio truck buyers.
Strong Powertrain Options for Every Need
The 2026 Tundra offers two potent choices under the hood, both paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission and available in 2WD or 4WD configurations.
-
i-FORCE 3.4L Twin-Turbo V6 - The standard engine delivers 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque (base SR trim is slightly detuned to 358 hp / 406 lb-ft for value). It provides strong low-end pull for everyday driving and towing.
-
i-FORCE MAX Hybrid - This advanced twin-turbo V6 hybrid system produced an impressive 437 horsepower and a massive 583 lb-ft of torque. The electric motor adds instant torque for quicker acceleration and better efficiency while towing.
Maximum towing capacity reaches up to 12,000 lbs (gas models on select trims), while the hybrid offers excellent low-rpm pulling power with a max around 11,000-11,450 lbs depending on configuration. Payload capacity is strong as well, making the Tundra ideal for job sites, farm work, or weekend toy hauling.
New for 2026: A standard 32.2-gallon fuel tank across all models for longer range, plus a Class IV tow hitch and 7/4-pin trailer now standard on every trim.
Bold Exterior Design and Capability
The 2026 Tundra features a commanding, athletic stance with a chiseled front end, aggressive grille designs (varying by trim), slim LED headlights, and muscular wheel arches. Available bed lengths include 5.5-ft, 6.5-ft, and longer options, with CrewMax and Double Cab configurations.
-
TRD Pro - Built for serious off-road use with FOX shocks, all-terrain tires, skid plates, and unique styling like a new Wave Make blue color option.
-
Platinum and Capstone - Premium chrome accents and elegant badging for a refined, upscale look.
-
1794 Edition - Pays homage to the Texas ranch where Toyota's U.S. truck story began, with distinctive badging and luxurious touches.
New colors and updated wheel designs give the 2026 Tundra fresh appeal while maintaining its tough, no-nonsense presence on Ohio roads and trails.
Refined Interior and Advanced Technology
Inside, the Tundra offers a quiet, upscale cabin with room for five or six passengers depending on configuration. Available features include:
- Up to a 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and navigation
- Premium leather or SofTex seating with available massage front seats and heated/ventilated options
- Multi-terrain Select, Crawl Control (on off-road trim), and an available 360-degree camera system

The spacious CrewMax cab provides generous legroom and clever storage, while the durable composite bed includes power outlets and tie-down points for real-world utility.
