What're the benefits of i-Force Max in the Tundra?When it comes to towing, some Tundra trims equipped with the i-Force Max powertrain get an increase in towing capacity by about 100 pounds, while in others, max towing is lower than the standard V6, but only by a small margin – about 30 pounds. A four-wheel drive Tundra Limited, for example, one with a 5.5-foot bed, has a maximum towing capacity of 11,120 pounds with the standard V6. The i-Force Max only adds 50 lbs to that number. With the same configuration, in the Platinum trim, towing capacities are 11,050 for the i-Force and 11,020 for the i-Force Max. Essentially, it's a wash. Both powertrains are extremely capable when it comes to towing, but the hybrid won't necessarily mean a higher towing capacity.Payload is a clearer picture, and it's pretty much a net loss for the i-Force Max. The hybrid system adds weight, which lowers the amount of extra weight the truck can hold. So, payload drops by about 100 pounds in most hybrid models compared to their V6-only-equipped counterparts. Thankfully, fuel economy ratings from the EPA are better across the board. On two-wheel drive models, the Tundra maxes out at just 20 mpg combined. With the i-Force Max however, top trims are rated at 22 mpg combined. It's a similar story with four-wheel drive models – the standard V6 returns as high as 19 mpg combined while the hybrid maxes out with an estimate of 20 mpg combined.
