Meet the 2023 Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX
Performance
The 2023 i-FORCE MAX powertrain combines a 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbocharged hybrid engine with an electric motor and battery pack, giving the 2023 Tundra an estimated 22 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The engine produces 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque, which helps the Tundra tow up to 11,450 pounds when properly equipped.
Both rear- and four-wheel drive are offered with this powertrain, and a 10-speed automatic transmission comes standard, as does Drive Mode Select, a feature that lets you switch between different driving modes for enhanced responsiveness.
Design
The i-FORCE MAX system is available for the Limited, Platinum, and 1794 trim levels and comes standard with the TRD Pro and Capstone trims, all of which offer comfortable interiors with luxury amenities. Some available and standard features among them include dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable seats with leather trim and lumbar support, and a panoramic moonroof, as well as heating and ventilation settings for both the front and rear seats.
Standard features found outside the truck include LED fog lights, a 120-volt/400-watt AC power outlet in the bed for power tools, heated power side mirrors for chilly mornings, and a power-operated tailgate.
Technology
There are also many innovative tech features offered in Tundra models with the i-FORCE MAX, including a 14-inch infotainment system that pairs with a premium 12-speaker JBL audio system in upper-level trims.
There’s also a standard Qi-compatible wireless charging pad in select trims and the available 10-inch full-color Head-Up Display, which can show your current speed, navigation instructions, and information about the hybrid system’s battery directly on the truck’s windshield.
Safety
A wide array of smart safety features can also be found in 2023 Tundra models equipped with the i-FORCE MAX system, including Lane Departure Alert and Steering Assist, which work in tandem to both warn you and steer you back to the center of your lane if you start to stray unintentionally away from it.
The Blind Spot Monitor can not only tell you when vehicles are hidden in your blind spots but can also detect oncoming vehicles or pedestrians with its Cross-Traffic Alert function. Then there’s Hill Start Assist Control, a feature that gives you some extra time to move your foot between the pedals after stopping on steep inclines.
Few pickups can combine a high-performance hybrid powertrain with sophisticated interior luxuries and intelligent safety features like the 2023 Tundra does with its i-FORCE MAX system. To see this pickup in action, come test-drive it by stopping by Rick McGill’s Airport Toyota today.
