The Toyota Tundra is often the smartest buy in the full-size truck category. Trucks are advertised as if they’ll all spend their entire lives hauling rocks around a jobsite to the sound of distorted guitars. But these days, many full-size trucks are family cars that also work hard.
The Tundra excels at that tricky balance, and in CrewMax form, it offers acres of rear seat space. Toyota sells the Tundra in seven trim levels: SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro, and Capstone. You can get these in the larger CrewMax model, which we focus on here, or the smaller Double Cab. It competes with rivals, such as the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and Ram 1500.
Let’s explore what Toyota offers inside the Tundra.
Passenger Room and Comfort
Buyers get plenty of cabin space in any of today’s full-size trucks. The front-row dimensions of the Tundra CrewMax read almost identically to those of the Ford F-150 SuperCrew, and they’re better than the Ram 1500 on headroom and legroom. Rear-seat passengers in today’s full-size trucks often get more space than those in the front. The Tundra CrewMax is no exception. Rear-seat riders get the kind of space common to full-size SUVs. Dual-zone climate control conditions most trim levels; SR and SR5 buyers get single-zone automatic climate control.
What makes the Tundra’s interior most comfortable? The new-for-2025 multifunction massaging seats for front-seat passengers. They also provide 10-way power adjustability. Toyota’s effort to improve the Tundra’s suspension, giving it a more car-like ride rather than the bouncy experience of years past, adds to the comfort of all aboard. Of course, the rough-and-tumble TRD Pro may not be quite so smooth.
Features and Tech
As trucks continue to add more and more technology, the size of the touchscreen to access everything continues to grow. On the SR and SR5 trim, buyers make do with an 8-inch touchscreen. However, once you move up the trim ladder, you get a 14-inch screen that includes more responsive touch functionality familiar to consumers, including the pinch and zoom functions used on phones and tablets. While the standard audio system is fine, if you’re an audiophile, it’s good to know there’s an available 12-speaker, 1,200-watt JBL premium sound system for higher trim levels.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also available, as is wireless smartphone charging. While much of the tech focuses on making the driving experience more enjoyable, Toyota also ensures it’s safe with a package of safety tech dubbed Toyota Safety Sense 2.5. Standard across the lineup, it offers a pre-collision system, full-speed range dynamic cruise control, lane departure alert, and more.
Materials and Design
Like most automakers, Toyota builds the Tundra as everything from a basic work truck to a full luxury vehicle. The Tundra’s CrewMax interior design emphasizes its spaciousness, with a wide center console with an extraordinary amount of storage and a dashboard with some of the largest vents in any modern vehicle. However, materials vary widely based on trim level. Base-model SR buyers get rugged fabric seats and manual adjustment features that will probably work fine after decades of use.
Higher trim levels, though, get creative material choices. The TRD Pro off-road model uses Toyota’s SofTex seating material — a long-wearing substitute for leather — in red with subtle digital camouflage inserts. Our TRD tester elicited oohs from passengers because the look was unexpected. The unique 1794 edition is old-school luxury, with abundant leather tanned like high-end luggage. Adding to the upmarket feel is an available panoramic moonroof.
Cargo Room and Flexibility
Much of the cargo space on the Tundra is, well, outside in the 5.5- or 6.5-foot aluminum-reinforced composite bed — but not all of it. In-cabin storage includes bins under the rear seat cushions. The massive center console up front is large enough to house a good-sized dog, while the Tundra’s rear seats flip and fold, ensuring you can carry more stuff. On some trim levels, Tundra’s rear seats flip up for added storage underneath.
