What will be new for 2024 Tundra?

The 2024 Tundra doesn’t introduce a full redesign; updates are incremental across trims, tech, and options rather than a new generation.


Overview of 2024 updates


What follows highlights the main areas where Toyota adjusted or added features for the 2024 model year.



  • The powertrain lineup remains consistent with the two main options: the standard i‑Force twin‑turbo V6 and the i‑Force MAX hybrid, with no new engines debuting for 2024.

  • Exterior and interior equipment see tweaks, including additional color choices and revised appearance packages across various trims.

  • Technology and safety features are updated across multiple trims, offering enhanced connectivity and driver-assist options.

  • Trim and package availability expands or shifts, giving buyers more ways to tailor the Tundra to work, sport, or luxury needs.


In short, the 2024 Tundra emphasizes refinement and customization rather than a new design or powertrain breakthrough.


Powertrain and performance


The 2024 Tundra continues with its proven engine lineup and drivetrain options, maintaining the capability that appealed to buyers in the redesigned 2022 model year. Here is what to expect in this area.



  • The non-hybrid i‑Force twin‑turbo V6 remains available, paired with a robust transmission for strong hauling and towing performance.

  • The i‑Force MAX hybrid option continues to deliver higher torque and improved efficiency, particularly useful for heavier workloads.

  • Suspension tuning and chassis fundamentals stay aligned with the Tundra’s off-road and towing capabilities; no major mechanical redesign for 2024.


For buyers, this means familiar performance with the option to tailor power and efficiency through existing hybrid and non-hybrid choices.


Technology and interior updates


Technology and cabin features see targeted enhancements to improve usability, connectivity, and safety without altering the core driving experience.



  • Infotainment and smartphone integration are updated across several trims, with broader access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

  • Display and interface upgrades appear in varying trim levels, including larger or more capable screens and upgraded digital instrumentation where offered.

  • Driver-assistance features and safety technology are expanded, providing more standard or optional aids across the lineup.


Overall, the tech refresh aims to make daily use more convenient and confident, especially for work crews and adventurous buyers alike.


Trims, packages, and options


The 2024 lineup preserves the familiar range of trims while adjusting contents and availability in some packages, giving buyers more ways to customize their Tundra.



  • Core trims such as SR and SR5 remain, with possible updates to standard equipment or package contents.

  • Premium and off-road-focused trims (such as TRD Pro and luxury-oriented tiers) continue to offer advanced capability and interior upgrades.

  • Special edition appearances and appearance packages provide added personalization without major mechanical changes.


For shoppers, this means there are still multiple paths to balance price, capability, and comfort, with occasional tweaks to what each trim includes for 2024.


What this means for buyers


With no full redesign and only targeted updates, the 2024 Tundra remains a versatile choice for work, towing, and off-road fun. Buyers should compare trims and packages carefully to maximize value, especially if they are moving from an earlier model year.


Summary


The 2024 Toyota Tundra offers incremental improvements rather than a new generation. Expect continued powertrain options (non-hybrid and hybrid), updated tech and safety features, more color and package choices, and a broad range of trims to suit different needs. For the most accurate details on a given market or trim, consult Toyota’s official documentation or a local dealer.

What are the changes to the 2024 Tundra?


The 2024 Tundra is equipped with advanced technology designed for convenience and safety. It comes standard with an 8-inch touchscreen, with the option to upgrade to a 14-inch display on higher trims. Both displays include Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility.



What is the difference between the 2024 and 2025 Toyota Tundra?


The main difference is that the 2025 Tundra replaces the TRD Sport package with a new TRD Rally Package, which is a four-wheel-drive off-road package instead of a rear-wheel-drive one. Otherwise, both models share the same powertrains (standard V6 or available Hybrid Max), technology, and safety features. Key 2025 additions include available massaging front seats and an available wireless trailer camera system.
