Auto123 reviews the 2024 Toyota Tundra with hybrid power and all the fixins. That hybridity means the latest Tundra gets a ton of added capability.
When it comes to vehicles these days, it’s hard to look through a brochure of any given car, truck or SUV and not have that word – “hybrid” – come up pretty quickly.
After all that, not much as been done for the Platinum model in 2024 or indeed the truck in general. There’s a new Terra colour – think terra cotta brown, and available on the TRD Pro trim only - and available tow mirrors on some trims. My truck had the latter – they start large, and power-scope out for increased field of view.

Head- and legroom both front and back is generous – cavernous, even – rivalling the Sequoia SUV, with which the Tundra shares a platform. Like that model, the Tundra also gets a power sliding rear window. You can use it to extend the pickup bed , add some airiness to the interior or to help make it easier to install child’s seats, like I did. My kids loved it.
When unladen, this Tundra is fast. Not so much in the 0-100 km/h department, but more the feeling that no matter the speed or gear , there’s power on tap when you need it. It’s gutsy, deep-chested and sounds the business, too. 2024 Toyota Tundra Hybrid Platinum, front | Photo: D.Heyman To that end, the Tundra is… OK. Suspension is handled by double wishbones up front and coils springs at the back, aided by self-levelling air suspension in my tester. At low speeds, it works rather well - it’s comfortable enough and predictable.
