Introduction: Toyota's Value-Priced Blackout Option
Debuting at the 2018 State Fair of Texas, the 2019 Toyota Tundra SX package offers SR5 buyers an affordable path to the popular "murdered-out" aesthetic without stepping up to higher trim levels. This appearance package builds on the Tundra's rugged presence with coordinated dark accents while maintaining the SR5's value proposition.
