Manufactured at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Texas, Inc. (TMMTX), the Tundra is built on a fully boxed chassis and equipped with a multi-link rear suspension, with a maximum towing capacity of 12,000 pounds and a maximum payload of 1,940 pounds. With two new i-Force powertrains (the i-FORCE twin-turbo V6 engine and the available i-FORCE MAX twin-turbo V6 hybrid), the Tundra not only significantly improves performance, but both powertrains also improve efficiency. The most surprising aspect of the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain is that it is the most powerful of the options, producing 437 hp at 5,200 rpm and a whopping 583 lb-ft. of torque and an impressively low 2,400 rpm.
“The Tundra is not only an American story, but also a Texas story – assembled at our manufacturing plant in San Antonio,” said Joe Moses, vice president of vehicle communications and marketing. “We are thrilled to see the positive impact the Tundra continues to have in the truck segment and are honored that TAWA has recognized the Toyota Tundra as the Truck of Texas for the second time.”
Born from the invincible, the 2024 Tundra offers a variety of features to fit every need. Those looking to get off the beaten path will appreciate the off-road technology that includes available Multi-Terrain Select (MTS), Crawl Control (CRAWL) and Selectable Rear Lock. The new multimedia system offers an easy-to-use experience with new technology activated by voice or through the huge 14-inch touch screen.
Additionally, the 2024 Tundra offers drivers innovative towing technology. Using sensors and cameras, Tundra’s driver-assist technology helps drivers easily connect a trailer, and Straight Path Assist helps keep it in a straight line when reversing. Additional interior features include a panoramic moonroof, a custom cockpit, the fan-favorite available vertical power rear window, and an available 12.3-inch digital instrument panel for the driver.
This year’s Texas Truck Rodeo brought together 37 journalists to evaluate the automakers’ latest trucks and SUVs on an off-road track at Eagles Canyon Raceway in Decatur, Texas. Vehicles from the world’s leading manufacturers were evaluated for interior, exterior, value, performance and personal appeal. The Tundra traveled the rugged course, leaving its competitors behind in the competition.
“The Truck of Texas Award from the Texas Auto Writers Association is a prestigious honor, and the 2024 Toyota Tundra has truly earned the title,” said TAWA President Teia Collier. “The Tundra continues to impress and our members were excited to give this vehicle the honor for the second time.”
