The latest Toyota Tundra is powered by a standard twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V-6, which in the mid-level state of tune of our Limited test truck produces 389 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque.

Our example was rated to tow up to 11,120 pounds and haul 1740 pounds in its cargo box—solid but not segment-topping figures.

Despite lacking the Tundra’s optional 437-hp hybrid powertrain, load-leveling rear air springs, and several more luxurious amenities, our mid-grade Limited example cost $60,188.
