15 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE 2022 TUNDRA CAPSTONE & 1794 - THE NEW CAPSTONE HAS MANY UNIQUE FEATURES

- Most expensive and luxurious 2022 Tundra model - the Capstone - just debuted today. But what exactly is the difference between this new model and the current flagship model, the 1794? They appear to be similar, but Automotive Engineer David Chao points out no less than 15 differences between the Tundra 1794 and the Tundra Capstone. After watching the video, you can decide whether the extra cost of the Capstone is worth its money.

David, My understanding is that unlike the 1794, the Capstone does not require Cowboy clothing to be worn by the driver. Owners will also be able to tune the satellite radio away from
Country and Western stations. ;-)
Just got the 1794 in wind chill pearl with the peanut butter interior and 6.5ft bed. I think I like it better than the capstone
This is the one that I’m looking to buy. 6.5’ bed and SnugTop shell when those are available
May I asked how much total out of the door????
That 1794 is also a nice looking rig
its a matter of taste
Thank you David. I’ve been waiting all day to here your take on the Capstone. Love your informative videos.
Best looking trim of all. Everything you mentioned blends together nicely, especially the gril and wheels. Unfortunately, I'd be in my tombstone before being able to afford the new capstone by the look of it.
the 1794 interior is a better option. what good is the capstone if it has fewer options to choose from? it's bad when the top tier is mediocre.
Doesn't seem like a very significant upgrade over the 1794 in my opinion. If they want to make a special edition there should be a complete removal of plastic from the interior. At least the parts that you will most likely see and touch
I wish the Tacoma came in a 1794 trim or a capstone trim.
He set a record for length of introduction. The list starts at 3:19.
Thanks David for another great video.
Would you consider doing a video outlining the differences between what is available to the USA customers vs what we are able to get in Canada on the different trim lines and accessories.
Thanks again!
That would be a good video to make...
Have the 1794 iforce max hybrid, the only difference is the wheel size and the color. I like the interior color of 1794, it doesn't get dirty immediately compared to white one.
Just canceled my 1794 order. Couldn't see waiting 6 months and then having to figure out if what Toyota built is acceptable. Maybe they will fill orders as placed in the future.
It's probably not a bad idea to wait and see how the hybrid will be like before finalizing your purchase any ways.... let's see how things evolve.
@@AutomotivePress Seeing how the cab must be lifted off to access the turbos in videos just released about the wastegate issues has totally made me rethink changing to Toyota. Looks like it will be very expensive to repair after the warranty has expired which is not what truck buyers want to deal with.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 22 refresed gmc
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 all of these car manufacturers are struggling with these turbos it's just a bad design.
I could see myself doing a multi-day road trip in this. this is nice.
Acoustic glass is in the 1794 now, it's listed on my build sheet.
Thanks for this comparison. I do think the longer bed is definitely something to consider. Plus the 1794 are probably more available.
The differences (overall) sound more like limitations.
They should've made the bed 6.5ft... such a shame. I'll be getting the 1794
@@LayzeeGiantEnjoying it as we speak, thanks!
You were right again! Wonder how much it will cost? Again, thanks for the great info. I do not see it available for purchase probably until the Fall of 2022. I still cannot find one for me yet.
Hi David, just to claify, the 1794 has an acoustic windshield, the Capstone expands that to the front door windows.
Yes that is my understanding as well.
oh and I do have a 22 on order so I am not a hater... and thank you David
Nice comparison! It would've been more informative if the images were presented side-by-side rather than in sequential order...
The Capstone also has matching fender flares like the TRD sport.
Hi David, this is an excellent comparison. I will looking forward to watch your comparison of Tundra TRD PRO and Capstone. I'm contemplating on which one to buy. I wouldn't be doing too much of off-roading but regular ride around town and do more towing. I want the one that is pretty much stronger. Is the TRD Pro stronger than the Capstone?
video starts at 3:15
Which powertrain would you recommend the new IForceMAX hybrid or a regular gas?
Thank you for sharing your time with me, interesting and informative.
Go straight to the point at 3:15
The Capstone doesn't look premium enough, compared with the 1794 and especially compared with the updated Silverado High Country and Sierra Denali, as well as the top-tier Ram 1500 and F-150. Toyota could have done a lot more to spiff up this trim level's interior trim. Quilted leather anyone? More wood accents? Or maybe Toyota could have made tow hooks standard on this luxury trim. Jk 😅
22 Denali has nice seats but the dash and instrument cluster/infotainment display are dated compared to a 22 Tundra. Now with the updated seats in the Capstone it won't even be close.
@@jeremycook9852 lmao the denali and denali on the 22 refresed ultimate destroy the capstone who are you kidding ?
Toyota often legs on fit and finish compared to other brands but they beat the other brands on reliability and durability
Tow hooks on a luxury vehicle that would never go off road, versus usable tow hooks on lesser speced models and TRD Pro that will be taken off-Road. Give me usable tow hooks
The main difference?
Around several thousand dollars lol! 💸
I like what I see but imo believe it falls short in upgrades based on assumed MSRP of more than $70K
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
My 1794 build sheet has acoustic-laminated windshield listed as an interior feature. Is this different than the Capstone?
Mine 1794 has it too
Tundra Capstone Best quality and and better Trim look Better after this video Im gonna get a capstone 😃👍💯
Great video, thanks making.
Thanks AP… for the info they both are some luxurious trucks no doubt & reliable too 🤛🏾
I am only worried about the cost increase on all the new 2022 tundra's
Interesting choices that Toyota is making. Not all great regarding design, color combinations, contrast combinations and material choices, but leaps ahead of past boring generations for sure.
Now … I’m a bit intrigued by the ‘Toyota TRD Desert Chase Tundra’ showcased by Toyota at the 2021 SEMA show …
In my opinion, how the Platinum should have come.
The platinum trim just look so basic.
Agree… I have a 2018 Platinum and the newer version is a let down.
I never realized how ugly the grill is on the 1794 until you posted it next to the Capstone version.
Capstone is the best grill of all the trims. Its makes all the rest look ugly
Do the hybrid versions have a larger capacity rear axles to make up the weight of the battery? The payload specs the TRD Pro don't make sense.
Is acoustic glass unique to the Capstone? "Acoustic-laminated windshield" is listed among the interior features on spec sheet of the 1794 I am buying.
I think many cars have the acoustic front windshield but Capstone has it in the front door glass. 1794 does not have it in the front side windows.
@@AutomotivePress Thanks, and thanks for all your videos, they are informative and insightful.
My 2007 Durango has acoustic front door glass. Not sure why such a big deal is being made of it when it was a $200 option in 2007. Still trying to decide between 1794 and the Capstone.
Great breakdown David!
Thank you for the information .
all toyota had to do is give this trim level every feature the LX600 has. you can save thousands getting a 1794 or platinum trim and
putting your own 22 on it...
This is an amazing looking truck but at that price they should offer a 6.5 bed and several more interior color combinations. Keep Living Keep Giving
Can we shorten the intros?
1794 all the way!
Thank you so much full of information. I’m having a second thought if I’ll purchase with turbo charge or regular fuel. Previously I had a Subaru STI turbo broken at 3 yrs. I end up costing me $4K . My daughter have BMW same turbo crack.
Any advice or input.
Gas cap has button to open for capstone vs 1794 does not have button, can be open manually
Thanks for the info, David. Do you know by chance if adaptive variable suspension (AVS) and load levelling rear height control air suspension will be offered in Canada as options for Tundra Capstone like in USA?
3:14 you are welcome
The biggest difference between the two is $15,000. Sheesh! :D
Do we know how many 2022s closed production and when to expect the 2023s?
Very detailed comparison. Thank you. I wish the Capstone had different seat colors. Will you be doing the same for the Sequoia?
Thank you - yes let me work on the Sequoia stuff as well
I have all that in my '22 platinum.
ty after watching your video i don’t want a capstone ,who would ? you can’t get the off road package and seems to me the 1794 is well more equipped to be a actual truck l. and you are incorrect one one of your 15 ..i pick up my 1794 trd off road this day and it also has the windshield acoustic
Hey David, what I don't understand is what would make the Capstone thousands more than a 1794 ! You have 22" wheels, acoustic glass and extra lighting but everything else is just different styling. I wouldn't pay 7k or 9k more for a different color interior. Unless I'm missing something? Thanks !
They have 20 inches in capstone only in this picture
Just got my 1794 edition 2022 Tundra and it has plenty of power and absolutely floats at high speed on the highway.....Better gas mileage and tons more modern interior features. My only complaint so far is the sound system is really weak and lame.
David- Thanks, another informative video which explains the differences. I mentioned to you that I also have a 1794 on order and I think you mentioned that your order was delayed. My order was originally scheduled for production on 1/19 and it move to 1/24 and now 1/28. Just wondering if you know why the production dates for the 1794 are slipping... is it parts related to the 1794, quality reasons? Was your 1794 built yet? Again, thanks for everything you do.
Mine got pushed back as well. The reason is the wastegate issue. They stopped production to fix the engines that were messed up. The main Toyota engineer came down to fix this issue. I know its a fact because my uncle is manager of one of the dealerships. It was a part they have to change on the engine.
Thanks for the info Jonathan. I heard the wastegate issue only affected the SR and SR5 models. Is this not true? I also heard it was taking at least 30 days to get the new parts due to supplier issues. Do you think our trucks will continue to slip the production date?
@@wayneberkowitz3004 I have a question if you received your 1794 truck on time or are you still waiting for it I took my order last month and they expected it to arrive in May thanks
@@jonathanbonura9774 I have a question if you received your 1794 truck on time or are you still waiting for it I took my order last month and they expected it to arrive in May thanks
Edilvin- the dealer allocated the truck on Dec 4th. It was built on Feb 15th and It got to dealership on April 5th. Yes I picked it up and love it.
I hope the 2023 Sequoia gets this upgrade too, or more from the LC and LX600.
I own a 2018 platinum and was seriously considering getting the 2023 Capstone … but Ford F-150 Lighting entered the conversation and got my attention. Toyota missed the mark here, under delivered.
Good
Personally, I think the inside colors are hideous! Fancy truck or not, who wants white in a truck?? I will be shocked if this is a hot seller. I was a little worried ordering a Platinum knowing the Capstun was coming, no regrets from me, whew.
hotseller of what? toyota tundra sells poorly to begin with
@AWS I said I would be shocked if it was a hot seller, that means I doubt it would be. As far as the Toyota product, try and get a Tundra or Tacoma, you're waiting 3-4 months minimum because they are selling like hot cakes. I just bought a Platinum yesterday and that dealer has a wait list of 300 people. Toyota isn't doing poorly, even if TH-cam is full of people whining about no tow hooks.
@@amgsince2017 1794 and Capstone are not the same nor same price range. I agree, Platinums and 1794s are nice and prices reasonable for what you get. The Capstone is ugly and way overpriced.
Not crazy about the interior color combo , Toyota could've given us better options.
NOT WORTH IT I BELIEVE
Hi David I already ordered 2022 trd off road ltd tundra & I will get it end of February. But I’m so concerning because a few people on ytube talking about big engine problem with wast gates for turbo. Is it true? Or they making the story? Please let us know thank
Yes I've heard a few rumors about that as well, but I've heard nothing official from Toyota. I don't believe it's a wide spread issue because either a recall or TSB (technical service bulletin) would have been issued if that was the case. I will ask around a bit more to find out what's going on.
I just bought a plutonium for 65k and advanced package aside from hybrid engine its identical to capstone feel sorry for anyone who overpaid for capstone.
David how about the dampeners the platinum dampeners possibly hydraulic dampeners between the chassis and frame instead of the standard rubber mounts..Toyota probably used the dampeners for the Capstone too..but not on the 1794..
Are you talking about the body mounts (where the body is bolted to the frame)? I heard this mentioned a while back but cant remember where I heard it, and never heard it again until now. Do you remember your source for this?
@@jonstundralife5897 the Toyota engineer explaining the actual systems on the rolling chassis ( no body) that had color coded systems painted to highlight the different systems..it shows a metal dampener on the rear driver side cab mount area instead of rubber mounts..the engineer mentioned it was a dampener for the platinum trim without mention of the Capstone trim..there is several channels showing this rolling chassis in a outside area setup for press and reviewer to look at..if you look at prerelease time frame videos of the Tundra..when reviewer got a chance to actually drive different trim levels on public roads somewhere in Texas I believe..same time frame the Mosquite Brown color Tundra was towing around the Airstream trailer around on public roads etc.. I think it could have been a hydraulic dampener..it was but a few inches thick and about 5 inches in diameter unpainted in a raw clear coating finish..
@@jonstundralife5897 I was half expecting to see Chrome tow hooks on the Capstone trim tundra..Lol the Capstone has so much Chrome trim..
@@agentcovert Thank you!! I knew I wasnt crazy. I watched everything during release and knew I had heard this but I wasnt going to watch a hundred videos to find it again. I had a couple people tell me I was an idiot after mentioning this to them. Thanks for helping prove them wrong!
@@agentcovert You just made me spit out my water 🤣🤣
underwhelming frankly
I respect the amount of information that you have, however, please get to the point.
Still don't like the air vents and the center stack trim under the dash. Match it to the seat color. Oh well, someone will buy it.
Not a fan of the 22” wheels. Ride be more uncomfortable.
Not much difference in models and it makes it questionable why the Capstone is priced higher.
Yes bravo TOYOTA bravo I cannot wait to purchase it👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈👈🏻
Since being in Florida for about 12 years now I have seen a hell of alot of Tundras 2021 and below unbelievable, so I don't know if the 2022s are going to sell like hot cakes locally here in my neck of the woods. It is just entirely too many V8 lovers out there myself included. But anyway good luck Toyota selling your all new V6 trucks...
Will other cheaper models have Hybrid capability ??
neither 1794 nor capstone excite me.
I agree. I bought the Platinum. Black on black 6.6 bed. Smoked chrome.
Looked at sr5 recently. Man that thing is all plastic, like a work truck. Unfortunately wasn't impressed. Nice truck here. Grill looks much nicer.
Cuz you looked at the cheapest version. 😂 You're lucky it even comes with doors.
@@ytsux9259 SR is cheapest. SR5 reminds me of Ford XL but yes I'll take a looked at limited when it comes in.
U could have out this in 4 min vid...
Fast forward to 3:15
Seems like you only get a lot of highlights compared to the 1794 and no real upgrades that would warrant a price change.
I like Capstone better
I have no need for a pickup truck and I live in LA where even thoo there is a lot and we have people who love those things but it’s LA so we have everything so it’s not like some places where pickups are life lol but for some reason I just been wanting one so much. I have 3 kids so it’s not my best option because a big SUV would be better but the pick up would still work for me but I just can’t. Maybe once I can afford to have a second car and I mean like a sound nice car because I wouldn’t want to get an old pickup truck or any old car I feel like they might have to many problems and then I would just not be able to deal with it. ✌️
Thanks Jackie Chan!
In my opinion! Capstone is more luxery and city driving. 1794 are both for luxery and off roading. 🤔
Capstone seems to have better leather seats also.
Nothing compelling enough to justify the trim. Just some slight variances (mostly just "standard" optional equipment"). Not worth anything extra over the 1794 in my book.
I prefer the 1794 with the off road package
Was hoping the flagship would come with a V8
What?!!! Have you been living under a rock? 🤣 Why are you even watching this channel?
Or at least 4wd Auto, they aren't going to win over owners from any other brands where even their mid grade models have 4wd auto and people have come to expect it.
There are 15 differences???
Too much expectation from 2022 Tundra and Toyota didn't deliver. MPG, as well as remote starter.
Mpg?
White interior in a truck? Should have options for interior colors. Definitely not white.
MSRP is $76k
This new generation of Tundra in my eyes is a big fail. I was looking forward to the new Tundra, being a 2007 Crewmax owner I am totally disappointed in this new one. It's not half the real truck mine is. There are people with more money than sense that will follow the look at me, look at me crowd and buy it only to regret it a few years later.. I hope they don't commit this brutal assault on the new Sequoia. I've said it before, you can dress a pig up but at the end of the day it's still a pig. Can't help as a long time Tundra owner feeling betrayed by Toyota. I hate to say it but I'll be looking at Nissan or other brands. I had wanted to get the Land Cruiser but Toyota took that option away also.
Land cruiser it’s coming back next year!!!😀Yay
not me love it
Toyota has taken your complaint into consideration. Production will stop. Thank you, Kerry Meushaw. A true genius of our time. Kick rocks, and get fucked. Tundra gang 4lyfe, pussy.
Does he replies or reads to any of the comments?
I try to respond whenever I can, but I still do work full time as an engineer so I’m sorry if I don’t reply to all comments.
And yet .. it still comes with the garbage JBL sound system.
This truck will most likely start at $69K 🤦🏻♂️
The first 3 minutes is just saying what you are going to say, and then repeating again and again on what you are going to say, so pretty much waste of time. May I suggest next time you get to the point right away please. unless you have to have it more than 10 minutes so you can make more money on TH-cam.
Hilux??
❤👍
