2018 Toyota Tundra Limited vs Platinum  

Standard Bed Lengths, Vehicle Weights, and Towing Capacities 

While standard and available features will likely also play a role in the decision between the 2018 Toyota Tundra Limited and Platinum trims, most pickup truck shoppers are buying into this segment for performance and capability. These trims vary slightly in the performance they have to offer.   

The 2018 Toyota Tundra Limited trim has fewer added amenities than the 2018 Tundra Platinum which allows it to have a reduced gross vehicle weight and slightly higher performance specs. The Limited trim comes standard with a regular 6.5-foot truck bed and offers a max towing capacity of 10,100-pounds in 4x2 Double Cab configurations.   

Truck shoppers interested in moving up to the Platinum trim will find added amenities like PLATINUM badging, Toyota Entune Premium, front and rear parking sensors, and blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. Because of the weight of these added amenities, the Platinum trim comes equipped with a 5.5-foot short bed and a slightly reduced towing capacity of 9,400-pounds on 4x2 CrewMax models.   

The 2018 Toyota Tundra lineup in both 2WD and 4WD configurations is available for test drive and sale now at the Serra Toyota dealership in Birmingham, Alabama.
