2026 Toyota Tundra trucks in the desert

September means Trucktember, our favorite time to shine a light on the rugged Toyota truck lineup. The Toyota Tundra headlines the list with serious full-size capability, but it isn’t the only pickup worth a look. At Toyota Chula Vista, we want you to see the full range before deciding which bed size and powertrain fits your life best.

Toyota Tacoma: Compact Frame, Serious Capability

The Toyota Tacoma proves a mid-size truck doesn’t have to sacrifice muscle for maneuverability. Standard i-FORCE™ turbocharged power delivers up to 278 horsepower, while the available i-FORCE MAX™ hybrid pushes output as high as 326 horsepower with 465 lb-ft of torque, depending on trim, for genuine trail-taming pull.

That capability extends to towing, with a maximum capacity of up to 6,500 lbs when properly equipped. Every configuration also includes Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 as standard equipment, so confidence rides along no matter which trail you pick.

Toyota Tundra: Full-Size Muscle

For drivers who need more size and towing muscle, the Toyota Tundra offers two available powertrains built to work as hard as you do. The standard i-FORCE V6 produces up to 389 horsepower, while the i-FORCE MAX hybrid raises that ceiling to 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque for serious hauling power. Maximum towing capacity reaches 12,000 lbs, and the available TRD Pro trim adds off-road suspension hardware for drivers who want to go beyond the pavement.
