Toyota Tundra Model Years With an i-FORCE V8

The first-generation Toyota Tundra offered a 4.7-liter i-FORCE V8, and that engine carried into the second generation that launched for the 2007 model year. That same year brought the 5.7-liter i-FORCE V8, rated at 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque.

The 5.7-liter V8 remained available through the 2021 model year. If V8 power is a must, a pre-owned model from those years offers the durability that made this engine a favorite.

What Powers the 2026 Toyota Tundra

Starting with the 2022 model year, a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 replaced the V8 across the lineup. On the 2026 Toyota Tundra, the i-FORCE engine makes up to 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, topping the 5.7-liter V8 in both measures. The available i-FORCE MAX™ hybrid raises output to 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, the i-FORCE engine tows up to 12,000 pounds when properly equipped.
