While neither model gets a major revamp, the 2026 Toyota Tundra and Sequoia bring some thoughtful upgrades to the mix.
We’re already rolling into the 2026 model year, and in the world of Toyota trucks that means a new TRD Pro signature color: Wave Maker blue. Beyond that, the full-size Tundra pickup and Sequoia SUV each bring a list of minor updates, each focused toward that particular model’s market strengths. The Tundra, for its part, gets mechanical upgrades across several trims to help with driving range and towing, while the TRD Pro even gets the ISO Dynamic seats that first launched on the Tacoma.
If you were waiting for a more comprehensive refresh though, you’ll be in for a bit of wait — it’s not happening this year.
On both models, the luxurious Capstone trim gets new Shale-colored leather-trimmed seats. The Limited trims also move up to genuine leather seats in both black with white stitching and gray with black stitching. If you opt for the Sequoia, you can get 10-way power adjustable massaging seats on the 1794, Platinum or Capstone models.
Beyond the available seat upgrade, Toyota made a few former options standard equipment across the Tundra lineup. All models, including the SR, get a tow hitch and 7/4-pin connector. All Tundra trims further get the larger 32.2-gallon fuel tank as standard equipment, eliminating the smaller 22.5-gallon tank entirely.
Double cab versions now have air vents on the console for rear passengers, and all trims with single-zone climate control get Toyota’s smartflow management system.
Other upgrades for the 2026 Toyota Tundra are trim-specific. The Platinum and 1794 with the TRD Off-Road package will now get power running boards, while the SX Package gets a 20-inch wheel instead of 18s. Toyota’s 3-inch lift kit and Tow Tech Package are available on the SR5-based TRD Rally Package.
Outside the list of tweaks for the 2026 model year, both the Tundra and Sequoia fundamentally carry over from previous model years. The Tundra, for its part, still gets the option of either a 3.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with or without hybrid assist, while the Sequoia only gets the hybrid powertrain across the range. The standard i-Force unit manages 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, while the i-Force Max hybrid bumps the output up to 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. Like before, the 2026 Toyota Tundra can manage up to 12,000 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped, while the Sequoia maxes out at 9,520 pounds.
Both updated 2026 models should be available as we head into fall. Toyota didn’t mention pricing in its formal announcement, but given the scope of the changes, we shouldn’t see too much movement from 2025 pricing (with the Tundra starting around the mid-$40,000s and the Sequoia starting at about $65,000).
