Toyota Tundra hybrid 2024 review: American truck wars heat up with new Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 rival

If you thought the pick-up segment couldn't get any bigger in Australia, the Toyota Tundra is about to enter the picture, as it looks to go tyre to tyre with the Ram 1500, Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 in the full-size class. Yep, this dual-cab is larger than the humble Toyota HiLux ute. Much larger.

But before you get too excited, the Tundra isn't officially available locally just yet. Toyota is conducting a pilot program, though, whereby 500 lucky customers get to drive pre-production vehicles as part of the model's right-hand-drive remanufacturing development process.

So, will the new converted Tundra be worth waiting for? In this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton gets behind the wheel of a pre-production vehicle to find out, assessing not only its fit and finish but also its on- and off-road performance – plus so much more.
