About $1,464 a year for full coverage on a national average — within a few percent of the $1,438 average car. Insurers rate the Toyota Tundra at an index of 102 where 100 is a typical vehicle, based on how often and how expensively these cars actually generate claims (latest data covers 2022-2024).
The premium isn't spread evenly across the Toyota Tundra: Comprehensive — theft, weather, vandalism, animals — carries its highest loss index at 125, while Medical payments sits at 72. Those 53 points are the real reason behind the price, and they are the part a quote form never shows you. Among 22 pickups we hold data for, the Tundra ranks #17 from cheapest, above the class median of 95. Against what the car is worth the bill looks different again: a 2026 Tundra sells for a median $66,866, so a year of cover costs 2.2% of the car's value. Calculated from 126 insurance-loss records and live US listing prices.
Why a Tundra costs what it does
Insurers don't price a car with one number — they track losses separately for each kind of cover. An index of 100 is the average vehicle, so anything above means this model generates costlier claims of that type:
Read it as «where the money goes». A high Collision figure means these cars are expensive to repair after a crash; a high Comprehensive figure points at theft, weather and vandalism instead. Estimated annual split at $1,464: Liability (BI + PD) $703 · Collision $410 · Comprehensive $176 · Other (UM / PIP) $176.

Where does this data come from?
Insurance-loss indices published for real vehicles, combined with NAIC state average premiums. It's claim history, not a quote engine — so it shows what these cars actually cost insurers rather than what one company would offer you.
Will my own quote match this?
Treat it as a baseline for the car itself. Your figure also moves with age, driving record, deductible, mileage and ZIP code — the same Tundra can differ by hundreds between two drivers.
