The 2024 Toyota Tundra not only offers plenty of power and strong work capabilities, but it also comes with a refined and comfortable cabin and a wealth of tech and safety features. Additionally, this full-size pickup truck is a highly customizable vehicle that offers a whopping seven trim levels to cater to different truck drivers. Let’s take a closer look at the trims of the Toyota Tundra to determine which one is right for you.
Toyota Tundra SR
With a base MSRP of $39,965, the SR is the lowest trim level of the 2024 Toyota Tundra. As with the rest of the lineup, Toyota has equipped this variant with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine. The engine delivers 358 horsepower in the SR but produces higher outputs in other models.
Despite its affordable price, the SR boasts a solid list of standard features. These include 18-inch steel wheels, cloth upholstery, single-zone automatic climate control, remote keyless entry, push-button start, and an analog gauge cluster. Additionally, it offers an intuitive infotainment system that includes an 8-inch touch-screen display, a Wi-Fi hotspot, three USB ports, navigation, satellite radio, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.
Found in many other new Toyota vehicles, the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 suite of driver-assistance features comes standard on the entry-level Tundra. It includes forward collision alert, lane-keeping assistance, lane departure alert, pedestrian monitoring, forward automated emergency braking, traffic-sign recognition, automated high beams, and adaptive cruise control.
If you’re wondering whether the Tundra SR is a good value proposition, let’s compare it with the base Pro trim of the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. Although it has a higher starting price of $46,700, this model offers a considerably less powerful standard engine than the SR, as well as smaller 17-inch wheels and fewer tech and safety features.
Toyota Tundra SR5
Starting at $45,500, the SR5 mainly differs from the SR in that it gets its power from a higher-output version of the twin-turbo V-6 that generates 389 horsepower. It also adds LED fog lights, 18-inch alloy wheels, selectable drive modes, and a towing package.
In comparison, the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT costs at least $48,000, making it slightly more expensive than the SR5. It comes standard with a 310-horsepower TurboMax engine, which isn’t as punchy as the SR5’s powertrain. However, the LT has a better list of features, which include a power driver’s seat, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a larger 13.4-inch infotainment touch-screen display.
Toyota Tundra Limited
The Limited comes with a minimum price of $51,855. Its base power plant is the same unit found in the SR5, but you can opt for a hybrid version of that engine that develops a stout 437 horsepower. In addition, this variant gains plenty of additional features, including 20-inch alloy wheels, synthetic leather upholstery, power front seats, heated and cooled front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a larger 14-inch touch-screen display, two extra USB ports, a digital instrument cluster, blind-spot detection, and rear cross-traffic warning.
Starting at $57,900, the GMC Sierra 1500 SLT has a less potent base engine than the Limited and smaller 18-inch wheels. However, it offers a few upgrades you won’t find in the Limited, including genuine leather upholstery and a memory driver’s seat.
Toyota Tundra TRD Pro
If you enjoy exploring the path less traveled around Prosper, Texas, the TRD Pro is the obvious choice. This adventure-ready trim has an MSRP of $72,130 and comes standard with the 437-horsepower hybrid powertrain, four-wheel drive, an off-road-tuned suspension, a locking rear differential, skid plates, all-terrain tires, and a forward-facing camera.
The off-road-oriented ZR2 trim of the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 costs at least $69,900. It features a 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V-8 and similar off-road hardware to the TRD Pro. Then again, it’s fitted with front and rear locking differentials instead of just a locking rear differential.
Toyota Tundra Platinum
The Toyota Tundra enters luxury territory with the Platinum trim, which costs $61,775 or more. This model adds genuine leather upholstery, heated and cooled rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, a wireless device charger, a premium audio system, two 120-volt power outlets, a 360-degree camera system, and a digital rearview mirror.
With a base price of $65,195, the mid-range LARIAT trim of the 2024 Ford F-150 is considerably costlier than the Tundra Platinum. It uses a slightly more powerful 400-horsepower 5.0-liter V-8. Other than that, it has about the same features as the Toyota truck.
Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition
The 1794 Edition is similar to the Platinum in terms of features, but it has a western-theme exterior and interior styling. The starting price of this trim is $62,460.
The Ford F-150 also has a western-style trim called King Ranch, which comes with a much heftier price tag of $73,735. Ford equips the King Ranch with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 rated at 400 horsepower, as well as an adaptive suspension system, a two-panel moonroof, massaging front seats, and a head-up display.
Toyota Tundra Capstone
With a minimum price of $78,845, the range-topping Capstone offers the hybrid powertrain and four-wheel drive as standard equipment. It builds on the Platinum and gets additional features such as 22-inch wheels, power-retractable running boards, premium leather upholstery, and a head-up display.
The well-appointed Limited trim of the Ram 1500 starts at only $66,055. However, it has a considerably less potent engine and fewer features than the Capstone.
