A 14-inch touchscreen is now standard on every 2027 Toyota Tundra, replacing an 8.0-inch display on the base 2026 truck. The upgrade arrives with a price tag: base MSRP climbs by $1,630, from $41,260 to $42,890, and the entry-level pickup totals $45,085 once destination is added.

Toyota published full pricing on Nov. 5, with a fall 2026 arrival at dealerships on its newsroom page and a build-and-price configurator already open, according to Autoblog, roughly three and a half months after it revealed the styling, technology and a new Trailhunter package in July. The maximum tow rating stays at 12,000 pounds, and both engines carry over unchanged, so the money buys screens, software and trailer-assist hardware rather than more muscle.
MSRP, destination and the $45,085 total
According to Autoblog’s pricing report, the 2026 base Tundra listed at $41,260 plus a $2,095 destination charge, for $43,355. The 2027 model starts at $42,890, and Autoblog says its destination fee rose by $100. The report puts the entry-level price at $45,085, an increase it states as $1,630. That figure matches the MSRP change alone. Measured with freight included, $45,085 against $43,355 is a gap of $1,730, a number worked out here from Autoblog’s own totals.
Toyota’s newsroom confirms the $42,890 starting MSRP and a fall 2026 arrival at dealerships, but it does not list the destination amount, so the freight figures rest on Autoblog.
A 14-inch touchscreen where an 8.0-inch unit sat
Every trim gets a 12.3-inch driver display and a 14-inch touchscreen, replacing the 4.2-inch and 8.0-inch screens in base 2026 trucks. Toyota’s July release describes a smartphone-style interface with customizable home-screen widgets. Autoblog adds 5G connectivity, new Arene software, a built-in dash cam and a five-year Digital Key trial to the standard list.
Towing gets software help too. A new Trailer Advanced Driver Assistance suite adds trailer blind-spot monitoring, trailer lane trace assist and a backup guide with semi-automated steering, while the Trailer Garage menu now appears on the infotainment display. A standard hitch and a 7/4-pin connector remain, and a 2.4-kilowatt inverter is optional. Maximum towing stays at 12,000 pounds, the same ceiling as 2026, so the driver-assist suite changes how a trailer is monitored and backed up rather than how much the truck can legally pull. The twin-turbo 3.4-liter V6 makes 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft, and the iForce Max hybrid version makes 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft. Both use a 10-speed automatic, and every Tundra carries a 32.2-gallon fuel tank.
Where the money goes is clearer by trim. Autoblog reports that the Capstone now has adaptive variable suspension as standard, and its photo gallery shows the Limited, Capstone and 1794 Edition trims. The base SR keeps the same two-engine choice as the rest of the range, so a buyer who wants the 437-horsepower hybrid pays for it through trim and option choices rather than through a different body style or cab configuration.
Features that used to separate trim levels have also moved down. A built-in dash cam that saves clips from the exterior cameras is standard, as is five-year Digital Key access, while the 14-inch screen runs the same software on a base SR as on a Capstone. For shoppers cross-shopping with rival full-size pickups, the interface is now a less obvious reason to move up the lineup.
Trailhunter and TRD Pro pricing
The new Trailhunter package is the cheaper route to off-road gear. It adds $5,880 to the base SR, bringing the total with destination to $50,965. The kit includes Michelin LTX Trail 265/70R18 tires, Old Man Emu suspension upgrades, front bumper recovery hooks, extra underbody protection, a locking rear differential on 4WD, Crawl Control and Multi-Terrain Select. Bronze wheels and trim-specific badges complete the look. The $5,880 adds about 13 percent to the $45,085 entry price. The TRD Pro’s $77,595 sits $32,510 above that base total, and Toyota’s separate color announcement adds Honeycomb and Hot Honey as 2027 TRD Pro paint choices. Toyota said in July it would position the package at a more accessible price than other overlanding trucks.
At the top, the TRD Pro starts at $77,595 including destination and carries Tundra-specific Fox QS3 shocks with manual adjustability, optional ISO-dynamic seats and the new Honeycomb exterior color Toyota introduced in a separate TRD Pro color announcement. Carscoops covered the package’s debut in its July look at the Trailhunter. No named Toyota executive is quoted on the price changes in either company material or the trade coverage. Part of the increase buys content, since the 12.3-inch driver display, 14-inch touchscreen, 5G connectivity and dash cam come standard rather than being reserved for higher trims. Autoblog does not say how much of the $1,630 reflects that equipment as opposed to ordinary model-year pricing, and Toyota’s July release describes the gas V6 only as offering strong everyday performance and towing capability, with the hybrid adding torque. Autoblog’s own framing is that the Trailhunter costs just $5,880 but base pricing has risen, a fair summary of a model year where the bill increases while the engines stay the same.
