Toyota Tundra Capstone is the new flagship pickup truck

We had this like 3 months ago, but Toyota made it official this morning, announcing a new top-of-the-range Tundra trim they’re calling “Capstone”.

They’re describing the Capstone Grade as bringing “a premium collection of features and upgrades” and a “halo grade” for the Tundra lineup. I see a trim package that brings all the good stuff without the cowboy aesthetics of the 1794 Edition.

The package is exclusive to the CrewMax body configuration with the 5.5-foot bed.

The premium features include:

• I-Force MAX hybrid powertrain, standard
• 22” wheels, ,standard
• Unique grille
• Chrome mirror caps
• Chrome “Tundra” tailgate inserts
• More chrome accents (they don’t specify where, exactly)
• Automatic running boards
• Semi-aniline leather seats with a unique black-and-white color combination
• “Dark American Walnut” trim on the console and dash (the slab on the console looks like a full-on side table from someone’s living room)
• Panoramic moonroof, standard
• Acoustic glass on the front doors
• 10-inch HUD standard, 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster
• 14-inch center screen for infotainment with “Hey Toyota” voice assist and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (I presume that’s wireless too, but the language in the press release is a bit fuzzy)
• Towing package, standard

From my read of the press release, certain features like adaptive load-levelling suspension, and 360 camera are available, but still optional, meaning this range-topping trim will still have the some stuff you’ll need to pay more for.

So it’s a new Uber-Tundra. Personally, I like the aesthetic better than aforementioned 1794 edition, and its for a totally different customer than the TRD Pro. If you were looking for a flagship Toyota truck, which one would you pick?
