Canada’s 2027 Tundra Skips Two-Wheel Drive Entirely

Every 2027 Toyota Tundra sold in Canada will come with four-wheel drive as standard, and the cheapest one, an SR CrewMax with the 5.5-foot bed, starts at $61,340 in Canadian dollars.

Toyota offers Canadians 31 distinct versions of the refreshed pickup, spread across two powertrains, two cab styles and three bed lengths. The new Trailhunter grade, built on the SR5 TRD Off-Road, starts at $72,675, and the most expensive Tundra in the country is the i-FORCE MAX hybrid TRD Pro with the Performance Package at $99,446. The 2027 Sequoia, which shares the Tundra’s platform, starts at $91,250 and tops out at $109,851.

The figures come from Toyota Canada’s 2027 Tundra release and its 2027 Sequoia release, both dated November 5. They are starting MSRPs. Toyota Canada also lists an estimated vehicle price for each grade that adds freight, PDI, the air conditioning charge and the maximum dealer and other fees, before taxes and registration. Both trucks are expected at Canadian dealers this fall.

The Tundra Lineup

The gas i-FORCE Tundra covers the lower half of the range. The SR5 CrewMax with the short bed starts at $67,850 and the SR5 TRD Off-Road at $68,495, which puts the Trailhunter $4,180 above the grade it is built on. The Limited starts at $76,075, the Platinum at $86,800 and the 1794 Edition at $87,950, with tow mirrors adding $320 to either of the last two. Double Cab models with the 6.5-foot and 8.1-foot beds come only as SR5s, starting at $65,915 and $65,790 respectively.

The i-FORCE MAX hybrid starts with the Limited at $80,000, which is $3,925 more than the same gas Limited with the 5.5-foot bed. The hybrid Platinum starts at $89,050, the 1794 at $90,152 and the TRD Pro at $94,553. The Capstone, which Toyota Canada sells only as a hybrid, starts at $97,730, or $98,050 with tow mirrors.

The Sequoia Lineup

Toyota Canada sells eight versions of the 2027 Sequoia. The SR5 TRD Off-Road opens the range at $91,250, followed by the Limited at $94,000 and the new Trailhunter at $95,552. That makes the Trailhunter $4,302 more than the SR5 TRD Off-Road, and $1,552 more than a Limited. The Platinum starts at $103,800, the Capstone at $108,700 and the TRD Pro at $109,851, so the TRD Pro sits above the Capstone in Canada. Tow mirrors add $350 to the Platinum and Capstone.

The three lower grades seat eight on a second-row bench, while the Platinum, Capstone and TRD Pro use captain’s chairs with a removable centre console and seat seven. The Trailhunter comes only in Lunar Rock with a black interior, and the TRD Pro’s new Honeycomb paint is paired with a black cabin. Every 2027 Tundra and Sequoia sold in Canada comes with a 10-year trial of Remote Connect, Safety Connect and Service Connect, plus a three-month Drive Connect trial.

The Toyota Report Take

Canada’s decision to make four-wheel drive standard on every Tundra says a lot about who buys these trucks there, and it explains part of why the starting price looks so steep next to the American one even before the exchange rate. The more interesting number is the Trailhunter premium. At roughly $4,200 to $4,300 over the SR5 TRD Off-Road on both trucks, Toyota is pricing a factory Old Man Emu suspension and real all-terrain tires at about what a buyer would spend doing it themselves, with a warranty attached. The Sequoia TRD Pro landing above the Capstone is the other surprise, and it suggests Toyota thinks off-road buyers will pay more than luxury buyers for the same body.
