Custom-Build Your Ideal Car, Truck, or SUV From the Ground Up

When you build a Toyota, you move to the driver's seat, taking control of every aspect of your new vehicle from paint color to powertrain.

Build a Toyota Tacoma

The build-a-car Toyota tool leaves no stone unturned, ensuring every customization option is at your fingertips. When you use the tool to assemble the perfect Tacoma pickup truck, you'll see the full array of trims, from the entry-level SR to the fully loaded TRD Pro.

Custom features for this bold truck include available two-tone exterior colors, SofTex seats, four-wheel drive, and extensive packages. Depending on your trim level, you can also opt for either the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain or the i-FORCE 2.4-liter turbocharged engine. The hybrid is especially potent, producing up to 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque.

With the click of a button, you can conjure up storage supplements, bed products, technologies, camping add-ons, and tons more accessories. The possibilities for personalizing your Toyota Tacoma pickup truck are seemingly endless.

Build a Toyota Tundra

If you're on the fence between the Tacoma and Tundra, you're not alone. Both trucks boast bold designs and robust performance. However, the Tundra is a full-size truck, meaning it is larger than the midsize Tacoma. When you need every ounce of muscle you can get, choose the Toyota Tundra.

The Toyota build-a-truck tool for the Tundra shows up to 10 unique grades, including the ranch-inspired 1794 Edition, the top-of-the-line Capstone, and the well-rounded SR5. You can click "See Details" to learn more about the perks of any given model before moving on to the next step.

There are several cab- and bed-length configurations available for the Tundra; we recommend picking an arrangement that balances your passenger and cargo needs. You'll also find a comprehensive range of towing features and accessories you can add to bring your truck's hauling capacity to the next level.

Build a Toyota RAV4

Boasting a wide range of stylish paint colors and a plethora of accessories for all types of adventures, the Toyota RAV4 is a fun compact SUV to configure from scratch. While building a RAV4, you can consider several high-quality upholstery materials and tech upgrades. What kind of daily driving adventures do you foresee in your new Toyota SUV? The new RAV4 you build can rise to the occasion with available packages, including:

  • XLE Grade Convenience Package
  • XLE Grade Weather Package
  • XLE Premium Grade Advanced Technology Package
  • XLE Premium Grade Weather Package
  • Limited Grade Advanced Technology Package

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner has an i-FORCE 2.4-liter turbocharged engine and 2WD, Part-Time 4WD, or Full-Time 4WD. Its exterior color palette includes numerous hues that look stunning against the backdrop of the great outdoors. Inside the cabin, you'll find premium seating materials and a range of paints.
