2025 Toyota Tundra Review

For the new model year, Toyota has added more fun and luxury to the 2025 Tundra full-size truck line-up.  Among the new Tundra features, you’ll want to watch for these:

The 2025 Toyota Tundra showcases a bold new exterior design that combines rugged durability with modern style. The front grille has been redesigned to give the truck a more aggressive stance, while the updated LED headlights provide enhanced visibility and a sleek, contemporary look. 

Toyota is offering its multi-terrain monitor on more models. It is now available with the TRD Off-Road package, TRD Pro trim level, and the Tundra Rally package. Drivers love how they can just push a button to summon front, side and rear views on the large center display of this full-size truck.

If you love your truck to look customized, you’ll lean into the TRD inspired Rally Package.  Everywhere you’ll find touches that remind you of Toyota’s Baja racing heritage.  An iconic color trio of red, orange and yellow are clues to its racy demeanor. Unique center caps dress up its 18-inch TRD off-road wheels.

However, this full-size truck’s transformation is much more than just its sport exterior. It’s ready to hit the trail with its excellent equipment:

Always ready for fun, 2025 Tundra TRD Pro models add additional underbody protection and even more off-road capability. Features like a lifted suspension ensure it can tackle the toughest trails with ease. A new color -- known as Mudbath -- is an exclusive exterior option. Some of our favorite new Pro Tundra features include:

With this generation of Tundras, Toyota has introduced a series of updates that enhance the truck’s performance, making it more capable and versatile than ever before. The 2025 Toyota Tundra offers two engine options that are both efficient and extremely capable of delivering V8 power without the same punishment at the fuel pump.

Impressive in every situation and at every speed, the base engine is a robust 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. This twin-turbo provides ample power and push for both city driving and highway cruising. 

These engines are perfect for heavy-duty tasks, especially with Toyota’s remarkable 10-speed automatic with sequential shift mode. Transmission standards include uphill/downhill shift logic and the all-important Tow-Haul driving mode. 

With the available air suspension, the system can alter the rear height to improve uneven payload weight. This system works automatically or manually, allowing the driver to lower it for unloading or raise it for off-roading. The 2025 maximum payload rating is 1,940 pounds.

For those who demand even more power, the Tundra also offers an i-Force MAX hybrid that delivers 437 horsepower. It can harness 583 lb-ft of torque at RPMs as low as 2,400.

The 10-speed automatic transmission makes speed transitions seamless and improves towing and hauling safety. Top Tundra towing capacity is estimated at 12,000 pounds.

Although it delivers more capability than the average V8 engine, a Tundra Hybrid achieves an estimated 24 mpg in combined driving. This Tundra mpg makes it a logical choice for drivers who want to reduce fuel costs while enjoying the powerful performance Toyota is known for. 

With its electric motor generator, the Tundra Hybrid truck has special powers. This boost helps with engine start-up, engine energy boost, and energy recapture via brake regeneration. It also allows for EV driving at very slow speeds.

Inside, the next-generation Tundra cabin is more spacious and comfortable than ever before. High-quality materials, such as leather seating and real wood trim, create a luxurious atmosphere. Advanced technology features keep you connected on the go. Smart storage options, including a clever center console, help you find a place for all your gear.

Rally package models carry over the red, orange, and yellow accents into the cabin where these trim elements add color to the SoftTex®-trimmed seats and the dashboard.

Spacious cabins with adult-sized rear seats come in two sizes. Bed sizes are based on which size cabin you want:

In addition to the powerful standard engine, the SR model offers more features, including a power tailgate. The SR5 is sure to be even more important to shoppers now that it has an 8-way power driver’s chair.  New massaging driver’s chairs are standard on the top three trims.

The 2025 Tundra truck comes equipped with a large, user-friendly touchscreen infotainment system that includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a premium JBL audio system, providing an immersive listening experience. 

Advanced HMI -- human machine interface -- makes this system easier to use. It improves not only the voice recognition but what you see and how the screen responds to your touch.

Additionally, the Tundra's driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking, ensure that you and your passengers stay safe and secure on every journey. 

To make it safer to tow, there’s an available Panoramic View Monitor. It shows you what’s in the truck bed and provides a split-view to show you the trailer. A hitch view helps you hook up. New for 2025, the wireless trailer camera is paired with your Tundra and shows what’s behind the trailer on the multi-media screen. Another fine option is the Blind Spot Monitor that can be extended to include the trailer.

With its impressive Tundra towing capacity and advanced powertrain options, the 2025 Toyota Tundra is built to handle any challenge. Seven trim levels plus packages appeal to different preferences and needs. Below is a breakdown of the key features for each trim level:
