2024 Toyota Tundra pricing announced

The 2024 Toyota Tundra has finally hit the Australian market, priced from $155,990 plus on-road costs.

Re-engineered from left- to right-hand drive by Walkinshaw Automotive, the Tundra is the fourth full-sized American pick-up to grace our shores behinds the Ram 1500, Chevrolet Silverado and Ford F-150, and simultaneously the most expensive.

As previously reported, Toyota Australia is only offering the Tundra in loaded Limited guise and only with the flagship twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V6 petrol-electric hybrid system under the bonnet, making it the segment leader for both power (326kW) and torque (790Nm).

Drive is provided to all four wheels by a 10-speed automatic transmission via a part-time 4x4 system and two-speed transfer case.

The combination of firepower and the Tundra’s immense size – 5955mm x 2040mm x 1985mm on a 3700mm wheelbase – means it can tow up to 4500kg while the payload is capped at a less impressive 758kg.

Stopping power meantime comes from four-piston front calipers acting on ventilated 354mm discs and single-piston rears grabbing ventilated 335mm discs – ABS, vehicle stability control, hill-start assist and trailer sway control are all present.

Standard equipment highlights on what is now comfortably the most expensive Toyota offered Down Under include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 14.0-inch infotainment system housing Bluetooth, AM/FM radio, wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto functionality, a 12-speaker JBL premium sound system, dual zone climate control, synthetic leather upholstery and eight-way power-adjustable, heated and ventilated front seats.

Also included in the price is an integrated tow hitch, wiring harness, 3500kg-rated tow ball and tongue, three drive modes (Eco, Normal, Sport), LED exterior lighting and the full Toyota Safety Sense suite of driver aids.

“Toyota has never before worked with a third party to re-engineer a vehicle for right-hand drive so we needed to ensure that it met our high-quality standards, and the result is something that all parties can be proud of,” Toyota Australia sales, marketing and franchise operations vice president Sean Hanley said.

After years of pining, Aussies were first told of the Tundra’s possible local introduction back in August 2022 when it was announced Walkinshaw would be running a right-hook re-engineering pilot program which would then be evaluated and ideally signed-off by Toyota HQ.

The program culminated in roughly 300 Tundras being distributed around the country for customer evaluation before the final sign-off.

All Australian-delivered Tundras are covered by the same five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty as every other new internal combustion or hybrid Toyota product.
