1. It’s a beast
You won’t be missing the old V8. Standard is a twin-turbo, 3.4-liter V6 plus an electric motor that pumps out an impressive 437 horsepower and jaw-dropping 583 lb.-ft of torque. That helps you tow up to 9,250 lbs. – another big number!
2. It’s efficient, too
The hybrid system pays off in efficiency, with a thrifty combined EPA rating of 20 mpg. Even with lead-footing it, and mostly around town driving we still averaged 18.5.
3. It’s seriously capable
Serious about off-road? A TRD Off-Road package is offered, with unique wheels, off-road suspension with Bilstein shocks, skid plates, an electronically controlled rear differential, Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl and Downhill Assist Controls and more.
4. It’s info-taining!
One of the highlights of the interior is the massive 14-inch multimedia display that originally debuted in the Tundra pickup. Our WAZE maps never looked better. There’s even a dedicated volume knob.
5. It’s luxurious
While our Limited tester was the 2nd from the bottom as far as trims go, it was loaded with goodness and high-quality materials. It really feels more Lexus (or at least New Land Cruiser) than the previous truck-ish models.

Ben Lewis grew up in Chicago, and after spending his formative years driving sideways in the winter – often intentionally – moved to sunny Southern California. He now enjoys sunny weather year-round — whether it is autocross driving, aerobatics, and learning to surf.
