Toyota Australia has started deliveries of the locally remanufactured right-hand drive Tundra pickup to select customers for evaluation.
The so-called Tundra Insider Program will see 300 potential customers lease the Tundra as part of a “real-world evaluation and validation program”. They’ll be required to report back to Toyota regularly on their experience.
This project has been in the works since 2019, and Walkinshaw Automotive Group has been enlisted to remanufacture the 300 Tundras included in this pilot program at a facility in Dandenong, Victoria. It’s expected all deliveries will be completed by April 2024.
At this stage the locally remanufactured right-hand drive Toyota Tundra still isn’t available for retail purchase, with Toyota Australia vice president of sales and marketing Sean Hanley saying the trial will go for a minimum of 12 months and could be extended if necessary.
The only Tundra variant offered locally with this pilot program is the Limited, which is technically a mid-specification model in the US range.

What are the running and servicing costs of a Toyota Tundra?
Our expert take on Toyota Tundra drivability.
It pairs a 3.4-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine producing 290kW and 650Nm with an electric motor generator producing 36kW and 250Nm that feeds a 6.5Ahr nickel metal hydride battery pack. Total system outputs are 326kW of power and 790Nm of torque.
This i-Force Max powertrain is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission with drive sent through a part-time four-wheel drive system. There’s also a two-speed transfer case and an automatic limited-slip differential.
There are Normal, Eco, Sport, Tow, and Tow+ drive modes that are claimed to change the transmission shift points, pedal response and power steering.
There are number of new and modified components that are required as part of the remanufacturing process from left- to right-hand drive. Some of these are sourced from the LandCruiser 300 Series which is based on the same TNGA-F body-on-frame platform.
The Toyota Tundra goes up against the likes of the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Ford F-150, as well as the Ram 1500 in Australia.
