Towing Capacity
 

  • **Toyota Tundra SR5:** The SR5 trim typically provides a robust towing capacity, capable of towing up to 12,000 pounds. This is made possible with the available i-FORCE 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 engine.
  • **Toyota Tundra Limited:** The Limited trim often offers a slightly higher or the same towing capacity, generally around 12,000 pounds, depending on the configuration. This trim may include enhanced towing packages that could further improve capacity and performance.

 

Towing Technology
 

  • **Toyota Tundra SR5:** Equipped with basic towing technologies, such as standard trailer sway control and an integrated trailer brake controller. The SR5 also includes Toyota's Safety Sense features, providing basic towing assistance and safety features.
  • **Toyota Tundra Limited:** In addition to the SR5's towing features, the Limited trim includes more advanced systems such as the Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) for easier hitch alignment, and Trailer Back Guidance technology to assist in reversing the vehicle with a trailer attached. Also, the Limited may come standard with the Multi-Terrain Monitor for improved off-road towing.

 

Towing Hitch and Equipment
 

  • **Toyota Tundra SR5:** Comes with a standard Class-IV towing hitch receiver and a 4-/7-pin connector. The tow hitch is well-integrated with the vehicle’s frame to provide enhanced durability and towing performance.
  • **Toyota Tundra Limited:** The Limited trim often includes the same hitch and connector as the SR5 but may come with additional towing equipment such as a heavy-duty tow package including additional oil and transmission coolers, and a larger alternator for better electrical system performance under towing conditions.

 

Suspension and Handling
 

  • **Toyota Tundra SR5:** Utilizes a standard suspension system calibrated for a balance between comfort and towing stability. It offers good performance for general towing needs.
  • **Toyota Tundra Limited:** Features a more advanced suspension system, often including adaptive variable suspension or electronically controlled shock absorbers that adjust according to load and road conditions. This gives the Limited a superior ride quality and better handling when towing heavy loads.

 

Interior Towing Support Features
 

  • **Toyota Tundra SR5:** The SR5 trim provides essential interior features like a basic infotainment system with access to towing-related apps and information, including trip monitoring and real-time fuel efficiency which is crucial during towing.
