2018 Toyota Tundra VS 2017 Toyota Tundra

Tundra Exterior: 2017 vs 2018

With the exception of a few details, the Toyota Tundra exterior is going to look the same whether you go with the 2017 or 2018 model. You’ll still have the same configurations and the option to choose a Regular, Double and CrewMax cab. You can also add on a 6.5-foot standard bed, a 5.5-foot short bed or an 8.1-foot long bed.

When comparing the 2017 and 2018 Tundra side by side, you’ll notice that there’s a new front grille. The new grille will also depend on which trim level you choose. On some trims, you’ll get a mesh grille, while on others, like the Limited and 1794 Edition, you’ll get a bullet-style grille. Also dependent on which trim you go with is whether your Tundra comes with LED headlights and fog lights.

We previously mentioned the sport-tuned TRD Sport trim that’s available for the 4×4 and 4×2 CrewMax and Double Cab configurations. When you go with this trim level, you’ll get a few other exterior enhancements including a two-level grille. The grille, as well as the bumpers and side mirror caps, will match your truck’s exterior color. The headlights and fog lights on the TRD Sport will feature LED technology. Not to mention the addition of 20-inch alloy wheels that help set off the TRD Sport trim.

2018 vs 2017 Toyota Tundra Interior Features

Just like the Tundra’s exterior, the interior of the 2018 Tundra remains fairly consistent with 2017 with the exception of some trim level adjustments. One minor interior update is a freshly redesigned gauge cluster that now flaunts a larger, 4.2-inch driver display. Other than this small interior update, Tundra drivers will continue to enjoy the space and convenience the Tundra offered in previous year models.

When it comes to trim level variations, the higher level trims will provide leather interior along with heated/cooled front seats. The Tundra Limited is going to come with wood-style trim while the Tundra TRD Sport trim will add on the TRD-branded gear shifter and TRD Sport-branded floor mats.

Toyota Tundra Technology Updates

The big technology update for the 2018 model year is, of course, the standard addition of Toyota Safety Sense. With this technology, your Tundra will be fully equipped with a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Automatic High Beams, Lane Departure Alert, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. That’s right. Today’s most innovative features are standard on every 2018 Tundra. Though, it’s important to note that if you decide to go with a 2017 Tundra, Toyota Safety Sense can be added on as an upgrade.

Along with safety technology, the Tundra comes standard with the Toyota Entune Infotainment System. With this system, you’ll enjoy a 6.1-inch touchscreen display, 7.0-inch touchscreen on the SR5 trim and up, integrated backup camera, SiriÆ Eyes Free technology and more. Also standard on the Tundra is Adaptive Cruise Control, self-regulating lights, AUX Input, USB Port and Voice Command, with navigation and real-time traffic being optional.
