Today, the Tundra deals with much stiffer competition from Chevrolet, Ram, GMC and Ford half-ton pickups, all which have actually been updated or revised since 2007. Certain setups of the Tundra could seat as much as six individuals.

The Tundra is available in 2- or 4x4 and also in 3 cab designs: normal cab, Double Taxi as well as CrewMax. The CrewMax is the largest cab in the half-ton segment given that Chrysler stopped the Mega Taxi option for the Ram 1500. The CrewMax comes only with a 5-foot, 6-inch bed, while various other variations can be gotten with either a 6.5-foot or an 8-foot freight bed.
