The TRD Performance Package: Power, Sound, and Price in the 2026 Toyota Tundra Testing the 2026 Toyota Tundra with TRD Performance: Extra Horsepower, Same Pricey Fuel Bills Published: April 2, 2026 Reviewed by David Gluckman, Contributing Editor Saving the article 2026 toyota tundra trd pro crewmax: A visual evaluation of the exterior photographs. By Michael Simari|Car and Driver Toyota is not making a big fuss about it, but the automaker is offering a little extra horsepower for its twin-turbo 3.4-liter V-6. A new engine calibration combined with intake and exhaust modifications boosts the output of the Tundra’s available hybrid powertrain by an additional 29 horsepower, resulting in a total output of 466 horsepower. The maximum torque remains unchanged at 583 pound-feet. The hybrid configuration comes standard on the TRD Pro and other premium trims. This package is also available on nonhybrid Tundras, where it adds 32 horsepower, and on the hybrid-only Sequoia SUV. We recently evaluated a Sequoia with these upgrades and now it’s the Tundra’s turn. Subtle Visual Cues With the Tundra TRD Pro already announcing its TRD modifications loudly, it is easy to overlook the small TRD Performance badge in the lower left corner of the TRD PRO-embossed tailgate. Apart from some eye-catching graphics on the sides (not our preferred style), there is not much more room to show off this package externally, but that badge could stand to be a bit larger. Popping the hood reveals a pair of TRD-branded airboxes, each dedicated to its own turbocharger.

By Michael Simari|Car and Driver To help the 3.4-liter engine breathe a bit easier, a cat-back exhaust system is installed. At its rear, a TRD-branded single tip replaces the standard dual circular outlets of the Pro. The shape of this new component seems inspired by the trapezoidal geometry of the Tundra grille. Like the rest of the truck, it is robust and substantial.

Tundra TRD Hammer with Raptor-Like Upgrades One last indicator is hidden under the fuel door—a label that says “PREMIUM FUEL ONLY” along with the TRD Performance logo—serving as a reminder that you paid more for this truck to spend more at the gas station. Fortunately, the minor upgrades do not appear to hurt fuel economy. We averaged 15 mpg during our time with the TRD pickup, which is consistent with previous Tundra experiences.

By Michael Simari|Car and Driver Pump Up the Volume With this setup, the power peak occurs at the same 5200 rpm, but the maximum torque—unchanged at 479 pound-feet—is delivered 400 rpm earlier. Compared to an unmodified Tundra TRD Pro, the TRD Performance truck accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, the same difference as with the Sequoia, resulting in a time of 5.6 seconds. Larger improvements are seen in the rolling-start metrics, where this test truck achieved 0–60 mph in 6.2 seconds, 0.3 second quicker than stock. Its 14.2-second run through the quarter-mile at 97 mph is quicker and faster, by 0.3 second and 5 mph again. If you are seeking more performance, you may need to look at aftermarket solutions that void the warranty to achieve a bigger power increase, as several options are available. Strengths: Quicker than stock in all tests, no penalty in fuel economy, visually subtle upgrade. When accelerating hard, the exhaust sound can be, well, exhausting. The performance cat-back system is only an improvement if your goal is loudness. At wide-open throttle, it emits the same 80 decibels as the standard TRD Pro, but the sound quality is quite drone-like on the highway, which gets old quickly. At a 70 mph cruising speed, the performance exhaust produces 70 decibels in the cabin, three more than the standard setup. Compared to the exhaust that comes with the TRD Performance-equipped Sequoia—where only the center exhaust pipe is replaced, raising the volume from 65 to 70 decibels—it is more noticeable but less appealing. Furthermore, even with the exhaust upgrade, Toyota continues to pipe in artificial engine noise that cannot be turned off. view exterior photos: A visual evaluation of the exterior photographs. By Michael Simari|Car and Driver A Paradox: You may not want to push the pedal to the floor very often, which means not experiencing the full benefits of the tune. Weaknesses: Aftermarket tuners extract more power from this V-6, makes loud sounds even louder, will people notice it’s special? The tuning does not improve the Tundra’s occasionally clunky gear shifts. At part throttle, the transmission is busy working its way up through its 10 gears, and when you step on the accelerator, the gear changes come quickly but not smoothly. This is one area where domestic half-ton trucks have a clear advantage. Michael Simari|Car and Driver view interior photos: A visual evaluation of the interior photographs. By Michael Simari|Car and Driver Seats with Flair While not specific to the TRD Performance package, the unique IsoDynamic suspension seats that are standard on the Tacoma TRD Pro are now available on the 2026 Tundra and were included in this test vehicle. Although they reduce the already limited rear-seat space in the Tacoma, the Tundra CrewMax offers more room, and our rear-seat passengers had no complaints—only questions about why there are bicycle pumps on the back of the front seats. The TRD Performance package is available on select Tundra trims and configurations, costing an additional $2,999. For the Sequoia, the price is more reasonable at $2,299, and it produces less noise. However, if you simply want your TRD Pro to be louder, this is the modification package for you. VERDICT: More power is welcome, but the Sequoia with this package boosts performance without excessive noise. view exterior photos: A visual evaluation of the exterior photographs.
