Want a hybrid version of the 2022 Toyota Tundra full-size pickup truck? The newly introduced powertrain (called iForce Max) is a $3400 option on select models, and it comes standard on the off-road-ready TRD Pro and top-of-the-line Capstone models.
With Toyota finally revealing prices as well as fuel-economy ratings, we now know that it's less expensive to buy a hybrid Tundra than a hybrid Ford F-150. An F-150 King Ranch hybrid pickup starts at $61,305, which is nearly $11,000 more than the Tundra's $50,595 entry point. That's for a rear-wheel-drive Limited model with the standard 5.5-foot cargo bed. While it's possible to upgrade to the longer, 6.5-foot box, the hybrid is only available on models with the CrewMax cab. The Platinum and 1794 Edition hybrids start at $62,085 and $62,785, respectively.
Unlike those trim levels, the TRD Pro and the Capstone are only offered as hybrids with all-wheel drive. The former costs $68,500 and the latter stickers for $75,225. In addition to their individual styling and features, they benefit from the hybrid powertrain's extra power and fuel efficiency. We tested a TRD Pro that hit 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and finished the quarter-mile in 14.5 seconds at 92 mph.
The iForce Max features a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 with an electric motor integrated into the 10-speed automatic transmission. The setup generates a combined 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque. The EPA rates rear-drive hybrid models at 22 mpg combined; that estimate drops to 20 mpg on all-wheel-drive examples.
