Towing capacity for the 2018 Toyota Tundra

It’s that time of year again. 2018 Toyota models are due to start arriving in about a month or two in the Baierl Toyota showroom. Obviously, the top headline is the completely redesigned 2018 Toyota Camry, but a close second in customer interest is what the 2018 Toyota Tundra will offer. For the upcoming model year, the automaker has made several aesthetic changes to the popular full-size pickup truck, including adding the new TRD Sport trim. There are still a few details that the manufacturer needs to release, but we should be able to glean more basic information like the towing capacity for the 2018 Toyota Tundra.

How much can the 2018 Tundra pull?

As a complete platform, the Toyota Tundra has a well-earned reputation for being one of the most reliable trucks in its class. When the 2018 Tundra arrives at Baierl Toyota, it will be sporting the same 5.7-liter, V-8 engine making 381 horsepower that has been equipped with previous models. One of the unknown pieces of information is the performance of the base V-6 engine. Though it is pretty likely that it too will have the same performance scores as previous models.

As far as we can tell, the towing capacity of the 2018 Toyota Tundra should remain effectively unchanged. Previous models could pull loads up to 10,500 pounds when properly equipped. Some of the deciding factors include cabin style, cargo bed length and which trim is chosen.

2018 Tundra new features

There are some new exterior elements to the 2018 Toyota Tundra that will be debuting, depending on the trim model. Select trims will be getting a new mesh grille while the Limited and 1794 Edition models will sport a billet style grille. Additionally, Limited, Platinum and the 1794 Edition also come with LED headlights and daytime running lights.
