June 9th, 2025 by

Built in San Antonio. Driven Everywhere.

If you’re looking for a dependable full-size pickup that combines rugged strength, refined technology, and hometown pride, the Toyota Tundra stands out. Built right here in San Antonio at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas (TMMTX) plant, the Tundra is more than just a truck — it’s a local legacy.

At Red McCombs Toyota, we’re proud to offer the Tundra not only as one of our most popular models but as a reflection of our city’s role in shaping the automotive landscape.

What Makes the Toyota Tundra a Top Choice in San Antonio?

 

Texas-Tough Design

Engineered to handle whatever South Texas roads (or ranches) throw its way, the Tundra features a high-strength boxed steel frame and a composite bed designed to resist dents, corrosion, and everyday wear. It’s built to endure — whether you’re navigating job sites, towing equipment, or heading out for a weekend escape.

Power Meets Efficiency

Under the hood, the Tundra now offers the i-FORCE and i-FORCE MAX twin-turbo V6 engines, replacing the traditional V8. This new powertrain delivers:

– Up to 437 horsepower
– 583 lb-ft of torque
– Increased fuel efficiency compared to previous generations

Whether you’re towing a trailer down I-35 or running daily errands across San Antonio, the Tundra offers the muscle you need with improved efficiency.

Advanced Technology and Safety

Every Tundra comes equipped with Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5, which includes:

– Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
– Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
– Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

Add available features like a 14-inch multimedia touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and an optional panoramic moonroof, and you’ve got a cabin that’s as intelligent as it is comfortable.
