The Tundra is equipped with Toyota's 'i-Force Max' parallel hybrid system. It combines a 3445cc twin-turbo petrol V6 with an electric motor producing up to 36kW and 250Nm mounted ahead of the 10-speed automatic transmission.

The Tundra's total power and torque outputs are 326kW and 790Nm.

The Tundra has a transfer case allowing rear-wheel drive (2H), four-wheel drive (4H) and low-range 4WD (4L). At the rear it has a limited-slip differential.

The Tundra has a vast cabin with lots of creature comforts. There is a good amount of soft padding on the armrests and plenty of storage. The big central cubby, up to 14 cupholders and a sizeable glove box are great for long drives.

The Tundra is equipped with 20-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry, LED lights, black side steps, rear racking system, synthetic leather upholstery, a 14.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, five USB charge points, a 12.3-inch digital driver's display and 12-speaker JBL sound system.

The Tundra has seating for five passengers in Australia with two front bucket seats and a three-wide rear bench. Synthetic leather upholstery, power-adjust and front seat heating and ventilation are also offered.

The space in the Tundra is excellent with plenty of room for five full-grown adults. All positions bar the centre rear seat are extremely comfortable.

The Tundra can accomodate child seats with three top tether anchors and ISOFIX tabs on both outboard rear seats. The bench folds 60/40 to expose the top tether points. The cushion can fold up and away for a more practical storage space, too.

The Toyota Tundra should be able to sprint from 0-100km/h in around six seconds and is very close to a Ford Ranger Raptor in pace. The Tundra has an electronically limited top speed of 170km/h.

With a GVM beyond 3500kg, Toyota did not need to submit an ADR combined cycle fuel consumption figure. In US EPA testing's combined cycle, the Tundra 4x4 hybrid achieved 11.2L/100km.

Real-world testing confirms a similar number. With a 122L fuel tank full of 95 RON premium unleaded petrol, driving range should be around 1100km.
