Most of the time, when we see the Limited name associated with a vehicle, we think it reaches luxury levels of driving. In the case of the 2023 Toyota Tundra Limited, you might feel a bit disappointed. Instead of hanging your head and kicking rocks about being duped by a trim name, maybe you should focus on the impressive qualities that can make this full-size pickup truck an excellent Tundra to drive.

On the ladder of trim levels, the 2023 Toyota Tundra Limited sits on the third rung

Toyota offers seven different trims of the Tundra, and the Limited trim isn’t quite in the luxury range for this pickup truck. This fact should answer the question posed. The Tundra is a full-size pickup truck, but the Limited trim isn’t a luxury trim for this model. Now that we’ve cleared that up let’s see what the Tundra Limited offers.

What are the trim-specific features offered for the Limited trim?

The 2023 Toyota Tundra Limited is a full-size pickup truck that offers:

• 20-inch wheels
• Simulated leather upholstery
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Digital instrument panel (hybrid-only)
• 14-inch infotainment touchscreen
• Dual-zone automatic climate controls
• Power vertical-sliding rear window
• Tailgate release button mounted on the driver’s side taillight
• Blind-spot monitoring
• Rear cross-traffic alerts

These features certainly build upon the items offered in the SR and SR5 trims but certainly do not make the Limited trim a luxury full-size pickup truck.

Does the 2023 Toyota Tundra Limited offer enough power?

If you’re looking for a truck that delivers 12,000 pounds of towing capacity, this full-size Toyota truck is for you. The Limited trim is offered with the choice of either powertrain, of which there are two. These powertrains are:

i-Force

3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, 10-speed automatic transmission

389 horsepower, 479 lb-ft of torque

Max towing: 12,000 pounds

Max payload: 1,940 pounds

i-Force Max

3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 hybrid, 10-speed automatic transmission

437 horsepower, 583 lb-ft of torque

Max towing: 11,450 pounds

Max payload: 1,680 pounds.

How much does the Tundra Limited cost?

The starting price for the Limited trim of the 2023 Toyota Tundra is $48,565. If you add optional features, including the upgraded hybrid engine, this price increases but should still remain below $60,000 with everything the Limited trim offers.

Why should you choose this full-size truck?

In a world with the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and Ram 1500, why does anyone choose the Toyota Tundra? The Tundra has a long history of reliability which translates to an impressive resale value. In most cases, you’ll never need the full 12,000 pounds of towing capacity, which makes this truck an excellent choice.

Is the 2023 Toyota Tundra Limited the truck you should drive?

If the Tundra is the full-size truck you want to drive, the Limited trim offers several impressive features that make it more well-equipped than the first two trims. If you were hoping for a luxury model with this name, you won’t. Instead, turn to the Platinum, 1794, or Capstone trims for more equipment and luxury driving characteristics.
