2021 Toyota Tundra Model Review - San Antonio, TX

What's New For the 2021 Toyota Tundra?

For 2021, the Toyota Tundra hits the market with some notable updates. This year, two new trims are offered for the Toyota Tundra: the Trail Special Edition, a more off-road-oriented truck, and the Nightshade, which is another special edition trim that primarily has only aesthetic differences in the form of blacked-out interior and exterior color schemes. The 2021 Toyota Tundra features an exclusive V8 engine this year with impressive towing power. Some changes are trim-specific, too, such as adding a new paint color option for the TRD Pro called Lunar Rock.
