8 WORST AND 6 BEST THINGS ABOUT THE 2024 TOYOTA TUNDRA HYBRID

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Toyota Tundra Hybrid, specifically the Platinum trim tested, presents a compelling package with strong styling, a comfortable and technologically advanced cabin, and a capable driving experience. The I-Force Max hybrid powertrain delivers substantial torque (583 lb-ft) and good acceleration, achieving around 19 MPG, which is respectable for its class. The interior boasts high-quality materials, heated/cooled seats, a panoramic roof, and a large infotainment screen. However, the Tundra falls short when directly compared to its closest rival, the Ford F-150 Hybrid. Key drawbacks include a less efficient hybrid system with limited EV-only driving, a lack of Ford's Pro Power Onboard generator functionality, less rear-seat headroom and under-seat storage, and the absence of a 4-Auto mode. While the Tundra is competitive against other trucks like the Silverado and Ram, its hybrid system is outshined by the F-150's more robust implementation. Despite these criticisms, the Tundra offers good value, especially when optioned up, and remains a solid, capable truck.
