Pricing for the 2025 Toyota Tundra has been leaked via an industry pricing guide, with the long-awaited full-size pick-up set to be offered from $145,990 plus on-road costs when it’s released early next year.
As previously reported by carsales, just one highly-specified model will be offered here from launch in the form of the Tundra Limited, which will come jam-packed full of luxury and utilitarian appointments in combination with the segment’s most powerful and first hybrid powertrain in Australia.
Toyota Australia has not officially announced pricing (or even provided a ballpark figure), citing fluctuating currency exchange rates in relation to next year’s launch timing. It has also previously said the program is still to be officially approved by head office.
Even so, the Tundra’s preliminary $145,990 starting price is $39,000 higher than the entry-level Ford F-150 (from $106,950), $26,000 higher than the entry-level RAM 1500 (from $119,950) and $15,500 upstream of the most affordable Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (from $130,500) – based on current pricing.
Standard equipment highlights on the Limited will include adaptive cruise control, synthetic leather upholstery, power-operated seats with heating and cooling functionality, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 14-inch infotainment system housing wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto, 360-degree camera, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry/start, wireless phone charger, a 12-speaker JBL audio system, electronic trailer brake controller and a trailer reversing guide.
Lurking under the bonnet is a twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V6 petrol-electric hybrid system outputting a mighty 326kW/790Nm – far more torque than the 6.2-litre Chevrolet Silverado (313kW/624Nm), 5.7-litre RAM 1500 (291kW/556Nm) and 3.5-litre Ford F-150 (298kW/678Nm).
The class-leading powertrain is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and drives all four wheels via selectable 4x4 system (2H, 4H, 4L) and is rated to tow up to 4500kg when the optional 70mm tow ball and heavy-duty hitch is fitted.
As with its major rivals, the Australian-market Tundra is part of a factory-supported remanufacturing program carried out on local soil, which sees the big rigs converted from left-hand drive to RHD and tailored to our unique conditions.
The hard yards on the Tundra have been carried out exclusively by Walkinshaw Automotive – the same firm responsible for the right-hook Silverado and RAM pick-ups – with a fleet of 300 vehicles currently undergoing a comprehensive real-world testing regime in the hands of prospective owners and local Toyota staff.
Servicing intervals are pegged at an old-school six months/10,000km (whichever comes first), while warranty coverage will be Toyota’s usual five-year/unlimited-kilometre arrangement.
