Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX TRD Pro — US review

Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX TRD Pro Review (2025–)

Hybrid V6 Hauler

Toyota US review Since 2025 Edited by

The 2025 Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX TRD Pro pairs a 437 hp twin-turbo V6 hybrid with FOX Internal Bypass shocks and 33" all-terrain tires. A genuine off-road full-size half-ton.

Current Tundra pricing

Kelley Blue Book, read on 29 September 2026, lists the 2026 Tundra Double Cab from $43,355, CrewMax from $45,355 and i-FORCE MAX CrewMax from $60,655, with the hybrid range extending to $82,895. Kelley Blue Book, read on 29 September 2026, says its price data is updated weekly. The page's 2025 TRD Pro starting figure of $71,795 therefore belongs well above the conventional CrewMax entry point but below the top of the current hybrid range. The midsize alternative is covered in our Toyota Tacoma review.

IIHS improved the moderate-overlap result for 2025

Our guide to IIHS safety ratings explains what the tiers mean. IIHS, read on 29 September 2026, rates the 2025 Tundra Good in small overlap, Good in the updated moderate-overlap test and Good in the updated side test, qualifying it for Top Safety Pick Plus. IIHS, read on 29 September 2026, says Toyota changed the rear seat belts and rear seats beginning with 2025 models to improve frontal-crash protection. IIHS, read on 29 September 2026, gives the 2025 updated moderate-overlap test Good ratings for structure, driver head and neck, chest and thigh and hip, driver restraints, rear-passenger head and neck, chest, thigh, and rear-passenger restraints; only the driver leg and foot injury measure is Marginal. IIHS, read on 29 September 2026, applies this Good moderate-overlap result to 2025-2026 models, so there is no downgrade for 2026.

Driving Performance & Handling

With 437 hp and 790 Nm from the twin-turbo hybrid V6, the Tundra TRD Pro runs 0–60 in 5.7 seconds — remarkable for a 6,125 lb truck on 33-inch all-terrains — while FOX Internal Bypass shocks and a 1.5-inch front lift shape it for rough ground rather than boulevard polish.

TRD Pro fuel economy and annual cost

Cars.com, read on 29 September 2026, states that most 2025 Tundra i-FORCE MAX 4WD trims return 19 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined, but the higher-riding TRD Pro with all-terrain tires is rated lower at 18 mpg city, 20 mpg highway and 19 mpg combined. AAA Fuel Prices, read on 29 September 2026, lists regular gasoline at $4.4558 per gallon. For the TRD Pro specifically, 12,000 miles divided by 19 mpg equals about 631.6 gallons, and 631.6 multiplied by $4.4558 equals about $2,814 a year. The pump price itself is covered in why gas prices are so high in 2026. Edmunds, read on 29 September 2026, confirms 20 mpg combined for many 2025 Tundra Hybrid 4WD configurations, which is why a generic Tundra Hybrid figure should not replace the TRD Pro-specific 19-mpg number.

On-Road Price & Value for Money

Starting MSRP$71,795

$71,795 makes this the most expensive TRD Pro Toyota has sold, and the price buys a distinct position: the quickest production Tundra yet, rated to tow 11,450 lb, and pitched as the balanced pick against the more extreme Ford Raptor and Ram TRX. A 644-mile fuel range from the 32.2-gallon tank is a working-truck bonus.

Recall check and full-size truck rivals

NHTSA campaign 26V179, dated 24 March 2026 and read on 29 September 2026, includes certain 2024-2025 Tundra and 2024-2026 Tundra Hybrid vehicles for an incorrect load-carrying-capacity modification label. NHTSA campaign 25V767, dated 12 November 2025 and read on 29 September 2026, concerns certain 2022-2024 nonhybrid Tundras with possible engine debris, so it should not be presented as a 2025 TRD Pro recall. Kelley Blue Book, read on 29 September 2026, lists the 2026 Ford F-150 regular cab from $40,085 and the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Double Cab from $42,995, both below the Tundra's $43,355 Double Cab starting point. The SUV derivative is covered in our Toyota Sequoia review.

Comparison with Rivals

Key competitors include the Ford F-150 Raptor, Ram 1500 TRX and GMC Sierra AT4X.

Cross-shopping the Ford? Factor in the 2026 F-150 fuel-tank recall when comparing real-world ownership.

The F-150 Raptor is more focused for desert running; the TRX has supercharged V8 theatrics. The Tundra TRD Pro is the most balanced — quick, capable, and characteristically Toyota.

Pros & Cons

Pros

437 hp hybrid V6 — quickest production Tundra ever

Real off-road capability with FOX dampers

Toyota reliability

Generous standard equipment

Cons

MPG improvements modest for a hybrid

Smaller bed than F-150

Highest TRD Pro price ever

Overall Rating

4.3 / 5 — real off-road hardware, hybrid muscle and Toyota dependability in a full-size package; a record TRD Pro price, a smaller bed than the F-150 and mild-for-a-hybrid MPG hold back the score.

Final Verdict

The 2025 Tundra i-FORCE MAX TRD Pro brings real off-road credibility to the full-size segment with hybrid muscle. Not the cheapest, but durable and capable in a way only Toyota does.
