The Toyota Tundra is getting a new off-road focused trim level called the Trailhunter. This new trim is designed to be an affordable way to get a full-size pickup truck with off-road-ready hardware. The Trailhunter package builds on the Tundra's SR5 trim, which sits just above the entry-level SR. The SR5 has more desirable standard equipment than the base model, such as alloy wheels, a trailer-brake controller, and a Tow/Haul drive mode.
The Trailhunter package adds Michelin LTX Trail 265/70R-18 tires, an Old Man Emu suspension kit, front recovery hooks, more underbody protection, and a locking rear differential for better traction in off-road conditions. Also included are Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control modes, which allow more control in a variety of environments. The Trailhunter shares features with the rest of the refreshed 2027 lineup, including a boxier grille and a more defined and square lower bumper.

That display will run an updated infotainment system that now includes a built-in dash cam, and the trucks will be equipped with updated safety features. The Tundra's available front light bar is also brighter for higher visibility on dark roads and trails. The Trailhunter package is expected to start at over $50,000, with the 2026 Tundra SR5 starting at $48,705.
The 2027 Toyota Tundra Trailhunter will likely come with the same nonhybrid powertrain as the SR5 model, which includes a 389-hp twin-turbo 3.4-liter V-6. For those who opt for the hybrid version, they'll get more power but will likely miss out on the Trailhunter treatment. More specific details and pricing for the 2027 Toyota Tundra are expected to be released later this year.
