Toyota Refreshes 2027 Tundra and Adds SR5-Based Trailhunter Package

It offers a lower-cost path to factory overlanding with full specifications and pricing set for release in fall 2026.

Overview

  • Toyota confirmed the 2027 Tundra update on July 21, 2026, unveiling tightened front-end styling and modest exterior revisions across the lineup.
  • The new Trailhunter is a factory package built on the SR5 grade that adds Michelin LTX Trail 265/70R18 tires, an Old Man Emu suspension upgrade, front recovery hooks, skid protection, a locking rear differential, Multi‑Terrain Select and Crawl Control.
  • Trailhunter is positioned as a more attainable overlanding option beneath the TRD Pro and is likely offered on non-hybrid SR5 models rather than as a new standalone top trim.
  • Every 2027 Tundra now standardizes a 14‑inch Toyota Audio Multimedia screen with AT&T 5G, an embedded voice assistant, a built‑in drive recorder dash cam and the updated Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 active safety suite.
  • Toyota kept existing powertrain choices (the 3.4L twin‑turbo V6 and the i‑FORCE MAX hybrid) and said detailed specs, final trim allocations and pricing will be published in fall 2026, a move that could shift buyer demand toward lower-cost factory off‑road kits and reshape the Tundra’s competitive stance against Ford, GM and Ram.
