New 2027 Toyota Tundra Adds Off-Road-Focused Trailhunter Package
Sharpened styling, upgraded lighting & off-road hardware headline the changes coming to Toyota's full-size pickup…
Toyota is introducing an updated Tundra for 2027, with a sharpened design, advanced technology and expanded capability with the addition of the all-new Trailhunter package, company officials stated in a press release. Developed by Toyota Motor North America teams, including Toyota’s CALTY Design Research in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the 2027 Tundra features a more modern and purpose-driven front-end treatment that emphasizes strength and performance.
New Trailhunter Package
The 2027 Tundra introduces the new Trailhunter package, a rugged overlanding offering based on the SR5 grade and built for enhanced trail performance straight from the factory. This package adds Michelin LTX Trail 265/70R18 tires, an Old Man Emu upgraded suspension, front recovery hooks, and additional underbody protection to help prepare the truck for more demanding terrain.
The package also includes key off-road technologies such as Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control and a locking rear differential, supporting traction and control in a wide range of challenging conditions. Trailhunter further distinguishes itself with unique bronze-colored wheels and exclusive badges, creating a strong visual identity that matches its capability-focused hardware, noted the release.
Purposeful & Modern Design
CALTY’s design direction emphasizes a crisp, square front geometry with a vertically aligned strength. Across the lineup, the new front design language is well-balanced with a wide, stable stance and a center lower bumper treatment that reinforces ruggedness. Rectangular fog lights are integrated into the bumper for added function, while the grille designs adopt a rugged hexagonal theme that adapts to different trims.
Enhanced Lighting
The updated Tundra also brings hardware improvements aimed at improving visibility. The grille-mounted LED light bar has been upgraded for brighter output, and available RIGID fog lights further enhance illumination in low-visibility conditions. Available front recovery hooks add both utility and a more assertive visual presence, the company said.
Grade Overview
The 2027 Tundra is offered in a range of grades that include SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro and Capstone, along with the available Trailhunter package. The truck is available with both gas and hybrid powertrain options, with the gas-powered twin-turbo V-6 delivering strong everyday performance and towing capability, while the available hybrid i-FORCE MAX powertrain adds even more torque and responsiveness.
Safety & Convenience Features
The Toyota Tundra comes with the updated Toyota Safety Sense (TSS 4.0) system. The newest version of Toyota’s standard active safety and convenience suite brings updates to its hardware and detection capabilities and has the following features:
- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD)

- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA)

The latest generation also includes the launch of a standard built-in Drive Recorder Dash Cam. When enabled, the vehicle’s exterior cameras (front/rear or PVM if equipped) are designed to capture 20-second clips of both manual and triggered events.
