toyota announces an ultra plush tundra 1794 limited edition for 2024

Automakers have capitalized on the American truck craze with ever more expensive luxury and off-road models. Toyota hasn’t gone as overboard as most, but its recent redesign of the full-size Tundra ushered in a new era for the auto giant. The 1974 Edition has long been a plush, leather-packed entry near the top of the Tundra lineup, but Toyota announced a new Limited Edition variant that pushes the 1794 deeper into premium territory.

Toyota debuted the truck at the State Fair of Texas this week. The automaker has its North American headquarters in the state, and the 1794 trim level is named after the ranch where it constructed the factory that builds the Tundra.

Only 1,500 1794 Limited Edition trucks will be built, and all will come with a crew cab body and a 5.5-foot bed. The trucks also get the i-Force Max hybrid powertrain and standard four-wheel drive. Upgraded Fox shocks and off-road wheels come standard, providing a 1.1-inch lift for better off-road capability.

Interior opulence has long defined the 1794 Edition trucks, and the Limited Edition is even more dolled up inside. Toyota worked with Saddleback Leather Company on the rich upholstery, and buyers can pick up leather accessories to match their new pickups, including a tool roll, a portfolio, a key glove, a small pouch, and an overnight bag.

Poor marketing logic here, some buyers associate the 1700's as a period of darkness and slavery for this country. To brand a trim line this way is going to limit consumer interest in my opinion.

this thing could replace the Dodge Ram on Yellowstone and still be stuck in the shadow of the Big Three. They own the whole segment already and it's the one segment they(to various degrees)do consistently well. Nissan gave up already; maybe Toyota should too

Olivehead The Honda Civic wins on looks and interior material quality and style. The Civic looks like a scaled down "real" car (i.e., midsize) while the Corolla never lets you forget what it is-a compact car, harkening back to the Tercel, etc. No comparision either in the interior materials of the Civic (a notch below Acura level) and general layout. There too, the Corolla comes off as a compact runabout. The Civic hatchback is especially cool.
Mike Beranek While the product may appear to be "better", only time will tell. The American automotive environment can chew a car up and spit it out. Will these Chinese EVs survive like a quarter-century old Cavalier, or will they turn out like VinFast's "cars"?

Dave M. The Highlander hybrid, a larger, heavier vehicle, gets better mpgs. Why? Also, missed opportunity - if Toyota had made this a hatchback, they could have scooped up the "want a Tesla S but not ready for a full EV" crowd, however small or large they may be....
TheMrFreeze Difficult call...the more the mainstream automakers discontinue their more affordable models and only sell crazy overpriced EVs and trucks, the more appealing the idea of letting in cheap imported cars becomes with the buying public. If the government is going to impose tariffs on Chinese vehicles, at the same time they need to be getting with the Big 3 and telling them to fill the void with affordable models and not use the tariff as an excuse to simply raise prices. Otherwise, public pressure could see the tariffs withdrawn.I seem to recall the last administration put a 25% tariff on Chinese steel, at which point the US manufacturers immediately used the opportunity to raise their prices 25%...that needs to not happen.
