Compare the 2026 Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX hybrid with the standard i-FORCE gas powertrain. See estimated MPG, horsepower, torque, and towing differences before choosing the setup that fits your driving.
Toyota lists the 2026 Tundra Limited i-FORCE MAX at up to 20 MPG city and 24 MPG highway, while standard i-FORCE gas trims such as SR, SR5, and Limited are listed at up to 18 MPG city and 23 MPG highway. Some hybrid trims, including TRD Pro, prioritize off-road performance and carry lower MPG ratings, so the hybrid badge does not automatically mean every Tundra Hybrid configuration gets better fuel economy than every gas configuration.
| Powertrain / Trim Example | City MPG | Highway MPG | Horsepower | Torque | Max Towing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Limited i-FORCE MAX Hybrid | 20 MPG | 24 MPG | 437 hp | 583 lb.-ft. | Up to 11,450 lbs. |
