Big, Tough Toyota Tundra Now Gives You A Massage While You Throw It Around On The Trails
The Toyota Tundra recently got a redesign, and while we weren’t necessarily blown away by the truck, it’s still a massive improvement over the Tundra it replaces. Well, unless you count the whole “not grenading the engine” thing. Don’t worry, though. Toyota’s replacing those engines with ones it promises won’t break this time around, and it has made a few other updates for the 2025 model year — including adding massage seats to higher-end trims.

Yes, if you buy a 2025 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition, Platinum or Capstone, massage seats now come standard. So whether you’re towing a space shuttle, rustlin’ up some cattle or hooning it on a dirt road, you no longer have to worry about knots or back pain. Your new Tundra’s got you covered. Worn out after sitting in the air-conditioned trailer at the construction site all day? Once you climb inside your Tundra Capstone, that stress will just melt away.
While there are a few exceptions, massage seats have largely been reserved for luxury vehicles. Other features found in older luxury cars such as navigation, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control and even heated/ventilated seats have since gone mainstream, but for whatever reason, massage seats haven’t. So it’s interesting to see Toyota decide to add them to the Tundra.
Then again, when you look at how much it costs to get one of those Tundras with massage seats, it makes a little more sense. The Tundra Platinum is the least expensive one on the list, and it starts at $63,625 including destination. If you want 4WD and the hybrid V6, you’re looking at $70,555. Meanwhile, the 1794 Edition starts at $64,310, and the Capstone costs a cool $80,695. Throw in red paint and the load-leveling rear air suspension with accessories, and you’re looking at $82,455.
If those aren’t luxury car prices, we aren’t sure what would be. It may be a completely unnecessary feature, but if you’re spending $80,000 on a vehicle, why shouldn’t it come with massage seats?
