Some TFL viewers may be too young to remember that mainstream cars were once as configurable as pickups are today. Sedan, hardtop, coupe, convertible and wagon with 4-8 engine options and multiple transmission choices were the rule not the exception.
Toyota did a good job catching up to the competition. I'd wait a year let them sort it out though, let the market adjust. I'll be keeping my 2008 though.
Cheap copy of the Ford Raptor. Toyota even copied the Ford twin turbo Ecoboost engine which Ford introduced back in 2012. The price of this tundra is ridiculous. Better off buying a 3/4 ton Chevy, Ford or a Dodge truck for that price. I'll take my 2020 F350 quad cab 4x4 6.7 turbo diesel up against any tundra.
@@daleradder7354 dude your diesel will cost so much more to maintain and repair in the long run. It's not even in the same realm as this truck. The tundra is meant to be a somewhat work/family hauler, with some options for offroad (which will outperform your diesel in that respect because barring the raptor, ford just doesn't do off-road). You are comparing apples to oranges. Your truck will have more power yes. Reliability? Ok diesels are stout. Ford electronics? Not so much. Toyota on the other hand has made a fortune on it's reliability.
Great effort but two things for starters you’ll need a lot patience if you want the truck you designed with Toys website, WHY because the dealer I spoke (12/27/21) with told me production will slow in late January. Second, the head sales person I spoke with was clear that not even he knew much about packages, the sales person are simply most interested in quickly selling whatever they’re allotted. DO NOT waste your time trying to configure one now, wait until 2023 your patience will go much further.
Agree with this question. Andre did another phenomenal job with his review of all the models, but I was hoping to hear the payload for their red truck and a small comment about getting the tow mirrors which appear to be $290. Those two items plus rear axle ratings will be appreciated by all of us that tow a travel trailer. Thank you TFL for another great review!
Everything I'm seeing here is going to be interesting in how it will translate to the new versions of 4Runner and Sequoia in the next couple years. One thing seems to be certain. They will be far more expensive than I could have imagined just a couple years ago. Thanks for the in depth breakdown guys.
@@smrtguy77777 Agreed, but we've seen these market situations before. It also means that the prices we are seeing now are going to set the new floor going forward.

The more I look at the 2022 tundras the more I think, eat the miles per gallon differences it not much and you would wear a truck out before it would make difference money-wise and buy a 2015 to 2020 Tundra with reasonable miles with good maintenance records that lives in a state were salt and rust is not a big issue, you know AZ and keep the 35 to 40 k difference for well the usual things you have to fix from time to time.

Looking at everything, I would want a 1794 Interior, a platinum exterior with the body color grill trim, and TRD pro suspension paired with the hybrid. Seems like the best combo of all available features.
Yeah i would be stunned if it was the same as the non hybrid 1794 - maybe he meant similar price as the Hybrid version of the 1794. Theres no way the hybrid system will add less than 2k
Funny how I'm able to stay in my lane, get to my destination, stop my truck in time, open my tailgate all without all of this expensive "assist" on my '02 Tundra 4x4. Simplicity is bliss and cost effective.
Guarantee you've at one point strayed out of your lane or had a close call on route to your destination (I think we all have). Nothing wrong with features that help prevent possible catastrophe.
Yep, if I was ever going to spend $60,000 on a new truck, I'd want to be driving it myself. With all the extras, these things seem to be doing a lot of the "driving" themselves. Some gimmicks, like the elbow-operated tailgate switch, could be handy though.
All the manufacturers are coming out with great vehicles today, even the base packages that are offered have so many standard options now. What worries me the most is that you will go broke now a days just buy a truck. And repair costs if you try to keep it for 8 to 10 years. Between all the tech features, 10 speed transmissions, turbos. To get a traditional type truck you will have to buy a 3/4 ton or higher if you want to feel what a truck is like. The old tundra you could put a plow on it, now no more. Wish they would come out with a heavy duty version.
Sadly us Canadian's don't get the same package choices with the SR5. The Canadian configurator tool only has the TRD Off-Road package and the SR5 in Canada costs the same as the Limited in the USA.
I believe you can get the SR5 with the “Sport Package” 20 inch wheels etc. (in Canada, they dial the various package options down, with the focus on trims) … and oh yeah, us Canadians are paying quite a bit more!

Long time lurker, first time poster. I've always enjoyed your guys channel as often times you guys are able to grab that first new shiny truck that the manufacturers come out with. The towing tests since 2015 have been nothing short of phenomenal. The comparisons between last generation trucks and current generation trucks performance wise are amazing to see. I do wish for a couple of new things for this channel in the future though. Since Andre bought this truck, perhaps he can go into more detail into the truck as he owns in the long term. As a truck buyer I'm looking for longevity, serviceability by myself the owner, and the mechanical design of the engine and chassis. It would be great to know about the service intervals for each truck you review, where the filters (fuel, oil, and air) are located, how the fluids are changed, and if the spark plugs are in an easy to reach location. More information about mechanical design would be great as well. We can see the interior from the manufacturer's website, but we can't see things like specifications on the turbo, extra emissions components (secondary air injection pump, gasoline particulate filters, EGR), lug patterns, or if the lower control arms are made of aluminum or steel. It would also be great if a short explanation can be given as to why a certain component can be advantageous or not. For instance, stating that the 2022 tundra having a mechanical fan means that the cooling ability is FAR greater than that of domestic 1/2 trucks that currently use electric fans. A lot of truck channels had the opportunity to dive into the open chassis of the 2022 Tundra, but I am quite surprised that no one actually took advantage of it. Sure the engineer shared some details, but there was a treasure chest of information that was not revealed. Ford stated back in 2017 that one of the improvements they made to the turbo was making the compressor wheel out of a nickel super alloy. What is the Tundra's compressor wheel made out of? Does this tundra have a gasoline particulate filter or just the catalytic converters? How many pistons do the brakes have in all the corners? What sizes are the tie rods vs the old tie rods? Are the alignment tabs the same old crappy ones that toyota uses on previous trucks? Can you fit 33 inch LT tires? Are the spindles now aluminum? Is the drive shaft greaseable or disposable? How many splines are in the rear axle differential? Is the engine block open deck, semi open, or closed deck? How many bolts are on the mains? I feel like the truck channel that is able to answer these types of harder questions will be the one that differentiates itself from other channels this year.
@@krasnaludek298 Lets let the smoke settle before we jump to conclusions. Are we expecting the Tundra to be #1? No. I think it will give some of the big 3 a run for their money though. With the coil spring rears, I bet the Ram is all but out, as that was it's claim to fame, the handling and ride of the coil sprung rear. But it's reliability is through the floor... We will see what happens.
I have a 2013 Tundra and it had one serious issue at about 90,000 km; a throttle body valve. I had it fixed and the truck is still running great at over 210,000 km. I would love to see a HEAVY DUTY TUNDRA to compete with the big 3!! Cheers, Mike :)
I got 400,000 mile out of 2004 Chevy Silverado. Replaced the master cylinder on the brakes and a water pump that literally took 15 minutes. That’s it. Good luck when one or both of the turbo goes out on that tundra. There’s less power, the turning radius is now worst in class, there’s less room inside, compares to prior versions, and there’s no step at the back by the tail gate. That item alone was the most notable at first turn off, other than being a fugly truck. Toyota really disappoints. I know 2 people have issues with the turbo and after waiting a month there’s still no answer on the solution. Is is it mechanical or is it a software issue, they don’t know. And that 10 speed automatic transmission…good luck
@@TFLtalk Hi, I ordered a SR TRD sport to be delivered to Canada, I was thinking it will have the 389 HP engine, but now after watching your vid I’m hoping it’s not the 348HP which I didn’t even know was a thing. Can you weigh in with a response on this for me please? Tks for sharing, love all your vids.
I love my Tacoma, but this is interesting. I really want to see the Hybrid MPG and pricing though. If that is a decent price I would be a buyer assuming there is no $3-7K dealer markup.
The whole idea of a build page on the Toyota site is kind of misleading. You don't really get to build anything. It just lets you put together a wish list and then you go see if your dealer has anything close to that in their allocation of trucks. This is not a good year to buy without inventory to choose from. Hopefully, Toyota can turn that around in the next year or two. Let me know if any dealers play it differently. That's how it works where I live.
To be honest,I didn’t like it in the beginning when you guys bought it..but as the time went by and u guys doing a damn good job explaining in length,I’m falling in love with the baby..tx u all..even this year we all found ourselves in the dark ages,your channel gave something to look forward and keep my mind of my surroundings..tx u all again and wishing u come up with more fantastic videos next year..happy new year guys..love u all xx
I was having flashbacks to high school where the teacher announces “there will be a quiz!” 😊 Thanks for pointing out to viewers about the online Toyota Configurator being zip code dependent. For all Toyota vehicles you may have some frustration when you discover the regional discrepancies in availability ☹
Great overall review guys! When Andre rolled under the truck that’s the first thing in noticed was the different brand of spare tire. It would be interesting to hear from Toyota on the reasoning why they did this. Check it out and let us know. Thanks!!
Great informational reviews and wants me to buy a Tundra…. But when I go a Toyota Dealer site… there is tons of dissatisfaction reviews and many put on 3000-4000 and trade them as Dealer can fix the issues Vehicles shut down and can’t get them started Just to name a few This scares the heck out of me for the huge costs. Is it just a few lemons or what the heck is going on I really want to purchase a Tundra and drive it and maintain it for 200K miles But don’t know if this is doable? Confused… Great videos guys
Is the turning radius worse than the 21 YES, Is the crew cab small than the 21-YES Is the length longer and might be difficult to get in a standard garage-YES No tow hooks and unknown option to install same-YES Did Toyota delete steel sleeves going to a cylinder coating-YES Does it have a big screen and difficult to navigate-YES Is the TUNDRA 22 OVER PRICED- YES Does the 22 only come in a 331 rear diff- YES Are you nuts to even consider the 22 Tundra-YES
I would love to get into this truck for a lease. The issue is that for the absolute bottom of the barrel base model you'll most likely be paying $500/mo minimum. That is atrocious and not worth it at all. The mark-up on all the vehicles in the market is obviously due to limited stock and the struggle to find new cars at dealerships but still. $500/mo is wild and the worse part is that it is actually one of the cheaper of the full-size trucks. Only other way you're getting cheaper leases is the A plans for Ford or something similar.
Hey guys. Would like to watch a shootout between 2022 Toyota 4Runner Limited and 2022 Lexus GX 460. Fulltime 4WD SUVs that will disappear soon. The most reliable and safe option for us here in Canada during winter commute. Would like to compare both offroading, fuel efficiency, overall comfort, space for luggage, ect. We also consider replacing our 2008 Highlander Limited (v6 fulltime 4wd) for a modern Highlander Hybrid Platinum. Even though it is not really comparable with the other 2 it is way more efficient and I believe bigger inside. Than you for your great videos.
That trans tunnel is huge, it reminds me of cars from the 70's. How's it that most trucks can eliminate the tunnel or reduce the size so its not an issue, and Toyota can't?
You guys are awesome I went into my Toyota dealer and they told me the SR would tow 12k, the deal fell through because I would not pay the 6k up charge
Went to the dealership to order a TRD sport. They told me the only thing available is the Limited and HAD to be bought with certain options/packages. So, I stepped away. Just going to wait till I can get the vehicle I want...Not what they want to sell me. SMH
I love the truck and I was ready to jump on one but there are some issues i wish they could sort out. I feel like they cheated the limited a bit. Features like the tailgate step should be standard for a limited as well as the headlight trim. All the newer trucks have distinguished daytime headlight trims and it’s annoying you have to go above a limited to get them. Toyota also messed up by not giving the customer an option to color match trims on the front and back. You pay so much for the truck they should give the customer these options
@@jameshovey8301 for me personally the tailgate step (and other features which should be standard on a limited trim) are a bigger issue than the tow hooks. Hope they get this sorted out with a refresh next year
Rory-Not Gail: Trying to decide if it's worth spending an additional $5-6K for a Tundra at an approximate $55K MSRP than spending much less on an F150 XLT with a $58-60K MSRP with all the bells and whistles that's been discounted to $48-50K.
I don't like that the black softex interior is restricted to certain package options in the limited and SR5 trims. I also don't like that you cannot get the TRD package on the platinum but you can on 1794. They need to offer the 1794 or TRD off road trims with more standard or traditional interior colors, black or grey ect. Get rid of the chrome grill surround on the limited, body matched paint looks so much better than the chrome in most cases.
Late to the party. Thought I'd update anyone reading this. I have 23 limited trd off road. No complaints great truck for sub 60k. Is the truck perfect? No. Could toyota have done better on the redisign? Yes. Over i think the sr5 trd OF and limited trd OF are really good bang for buck. If you want more options or capabilities then spend the money and go ram or ford (more play go ram trx, more luxary only go gmc but eh on that, more work for f150.) Overall limited and sr5 are amazing imo and anything over 60k i would shift to another truck and just pay 70k.
Actually just wait atleast a year! First year models are basically the test models. Wait for recalls. A friend works at a dealer & 2 needs turbos & other 2 needs new engine.
Hey TFL - What do you guys think about the fact that Toyota chose to save chips by removing the motorized controls from the cloth seats? In my opinion, this was a poor choice to save chips when there are many others in the truck less important to buyers. They of course have not come out and said this explicitly, but it's obvious they had to save chips where they could and this is one area they did. Almost every 2021 SR5 came with motorized seat controls, since they came with the convenience package.
Would like to see a side by side comparison between the silverado/GMC and the Tundra. Was alot of comments when leaked pics came out that Tundra looked like them.
Looks like the “leak” is just the ac condensate drain. And funny how I always see comments how Toyota copied GM, cause I think the current gen Silverado/GMC trucks look like the 2014+ 2nd gen Tundras (short hood and boxy bed)
Your missing out on that panoramic sunroof lol. Even with the glass closed, it really gives a much bigger feel to the interior. I alway drive it with my cloth open and glass closed. When I close the cloth it feels so much smaller. I’ll have to close it when the So-Cal heat comes in July though lol.
Hey guys, I have enjoyed the videos! I have preordered a limited with the TRD package with options in smoked mesquite. I do not think this package comes with step rails or nerf bars. So my question is do you know if previous Gen(2021or2020) step rails or nerf bars will fit the 2022 Tundra? Thank you and happy New year!
I want to know about the motor and if it has problems I've been told that is a V6 turbo. And there's a lot of problems with this motor. Question wasn't the V8 solid why did they change to the V6 and does the V6 have problems..
Only one you can get with the body color grille and short bed up here in Canada is an SR with the TRD sport package. I can't really stand that silver trim on the grille, so looks like I would go for the cheap one. Seems like a reasonably decent deal with todays truck prices. Keeping what I have however all hypothetical here. It is free to play around with the websites after all.
What if you want to add a winch ? Even the TRD PRO gets the plastic front bumper with no recovery hooks. I wonder if the aftermarket will be able to make a winch bumper with the way it is integrated to the grille and fenders ??
The aftermarket should be able to do nearly anything. Isn’t that arrangement kinda similar to 4Runner or Tacoma? Those both have pretty extensive aftermarket options to include winches and such.
if you dont like how it looks just wait for the next gen in 2040.
🤣🤣 most likely
🤣👍🏽
Yep
Lmao this why I bought on now
Most likely it would be a supercharger Inline 4 at that point and also offer full EV packages.

As a truck buyer I'm looking for longevity, serviceability by myself the owner, and the mechanical design of the engine and chassis. It would be great to know about the service intervals for each truck you review, where the filters (fuel, oil, and air) are located, how the fluids are changed, and if the spark plugs are in an easy to reach location.
More information about mechanical design would be great as well. We can see the interior from the manufacturer's website, but we can't see things like specifications on the turbo, extra emissions components (secondary air injection pump, gasoline particulate filters, EGR), lug patterns, or if the lower control arms are made of aluminum or steel. It would also be great if a short explanation can be given as to why a certain component can be advantageous or not. For instance, stating that the 2022 tundra having a mechanical fan means that the cooling ability is FAR greater than that of domestic 1/2 trucks that currently use electric fans.
A lot of truck channels had the opportunity to dive into the open chassis of the 2022 Tundra, but I am quite surprised that no one actually took advantage of it. Sure the engineer shared some details, but there was a treasure chest of information that was not revealed. Ford stated back in 2017 that one of the improvements they made to the turbo was making the compressor wheel out of a nickel super alloy. What is the Tundra's compressor wheel made out of? Does this tundra have a gasoline particulate filter or just the catalytic converters? How many pistons do the brakes have in all the corners? What sizes are the tie rods vs the old tie rods? Are the alignment tabs the same old crappy ones that toyota uses on previous trucks? Can you fit 33 inch LT tires? Are the spindles now aluminum? Is the drive shaft greaseable or disposable? How many splines are in the rear axle differential? Is the engine block open deck, semi open, or closed deck? How many bolts are on the mains? I feel like the truck channel that is able to answer these types of harder questions will be the one that differentiates itself from other channels this year.
I would also add that the truck channel that not only reviews this aspects but educates their audience will stand head and shoulders over the rest.
You guys did a great job with the video. I'm very unimpressed with the Tundra though.
Same here … we’re looking at the 5th place truck.
@@krasnaludek298 Lets let the smoke settle before we jump to conclusions. Are we expecting the Tundra to be #1? No. I think it will give some of the big 3 a run for their money though. With the coil spring rears, I bet the Ram is all but out, as that was it's claim to fame, the handling and ride of the coil sprung rear. But it's reliability is through the floor... We will see what happens.
Toyota reliability has tanked in recent years. Nothing but problems with Tacomas and highlanders.
I have a 2013 Tundra and it had one serious issue at about 90,000 km; a throttle body valve. I had it fixed and the truck is still running great at over 210,000 km. I would love to see a HEAVY DUTY TUNDRA to compete with the big 3!!
Cheers,
Mike :)
I got 400,000 mile out of 2004 Chevy Silverado. Replaced the master cylinder on the brakes and a water pump that literally took 15 minutes. That’s it. Good luck when one or both of the turbo goes out on that tundra. There’s less power, the turning radius is now worst in class, there’s less room inside, compares to prior versions, and there’s no step at the back by the tail gate. That item alone was the most notable at first turn off, other than being a fugly truck. Toyota really disappoints. I know 2 people have issues with the turbo and after waiting a month there’s still no answer on the solution. Is is it mechanical or is it a software issue, they don’t know. And that 10 speed automatic transmission…good luck
Glad they added a locking rear diff on the TRD off-road package.
Thanks for a great year of reviews TFL! Hope the entire crew is safe with the fires going on. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching.
@@TFLtalk Hi, I ordered a SR TRD sport to be delivered to Canada, I was thinking it will have the 389 HP engine, but now after watching your vid I’m hoping it’s not the 348HP which I didn’t even know was a thing. Can you weigh in with a response on this for me please? Tks for sharing, love all your vids.
I love my Tacoma, but this is interesting. I really want to see the Hybrid MPG and pricing though. If that is a decent price I would be a buyer assuming there is no $3-7K dealer markup.
Happy new year. AWSOME content. Keep it up !!!
The whole idea of a build page on the Toyota site is kind of misleading. You don't really get to build anything. It just lets you put together a wish list and then you go see if your dealer has anything close to that in their allocation of trucks. This is not a good year to buy without inventory to choose from. Hopefully, Toyota can turn that around in the next year or two. Let me know if any dealers play it differently. That's how it works where I live.
To be honest,I didn’t like it in the beginning when you guys bought it..but as the time went by and u guys doing a damn good job explaining in length,I’m falling in love with the baby..tx u all..even this year we all found ourselves in the dark ages,your channel gave something to look forward and keep my mind of my surroundings..tx u all again and wishing u come up with more fantastic videos next year..happy new year guys..love u all xx
Wow, what an incredibly well done, very thorough video! Amazing how they put it together in such a sort time.
I was having flashbacks to high school where the teacher announces “there will be a quiz!” 😊 Thanks for pointing out to viewers about the online Toyota Configurator being zip code dependent. For all Toyota vehicles you may have some frustration when you discover the regional discrepancies in availability ☹
Thank you for this. Very much helped me.
Excellent video guys thanks for sharing really helps define the different trim levels.
so which is the best trim for payload, comfort, and tech? i dont care about towing. thanks
I will get an SR5 4x4 base price and I will add after market parts and supplies.
Happy new year from Fiji 🇫🇯
Great video guys.
I have a 2007 SR5 with 160K miles. Has treated me fairly well but that new truck feeling keeps on creeping up.
Great overall review guys! When Andre rolled under the truck that’s the first thing in noticed was the different brand of spare tire. It would be interesting to hear from Toyota on the reasoning why they did this. Check it out and let us know. Thanks!!
Excellent video guys!
Big T.Y. For that all precision for all those models of Tundra 2022.
Thanks for a good review of all the models.
Great video guys, very helpful information and comparison!
I'm saving up right now for a 2020 Tundra
You guys are the best, great video 👍
Great informational reviews and wants me to buy a Tundra….
But when I go a Toyota Dealer site… there is tons of dissatisfaction reviews and many put on 3000-4000 and trade them as
Dealer can fix the issues
Vehicles shut down and can’t get them started
Just to name a few
This scares the heck out of me for the huge costs. Is it just a few lemons or what the heck is going on
I really want to purchase a Tundra and drive it and maintain it for 200K miles
But don’t know if this is doable?
Confused…
Great videos guys
Once again, great video!! Thanks!!
Love to get a new truck but my 2014 Tundra won't die!
It won’t die but it’s on life support
Is the turning radius worse than the 21 YES,
Is the crew cab small than the 21-YES
Is the length longer and might be difficult to get in a standard garage-YES
No tow hooks and unknown option to install same-YES
Did Toyota delete steel sleeves going to a cylinder coating-YES
Does it have a big screen and difficult to navigate-YES
Is the TUNDRA 22 OVER PRICED- YES
Does the 22 only come in a 331 rear diff- YES
Are you nuts to even consider the 22 Tundra-YES
You forgot that Toyota couldn’t figure out how to provide 4 wheel Auto, or provide easy access up into the bed
I would love to get into this truck for a lease. The issue is that for the absolute bottom of the barrel base model you'll most likely be paying $500/mo minimum. That is atrocious and not worth it at all. The mark-up on all the vehicles in the market is obviously due to limited stock and the struggle to find new cars at dealerships but still. $500/mo is wild and the worse part is that it is actually one of the cheaper of the full-size trucks. Only other way you're getting cheaper leases is the A plans for Ford or something similar.
Hey guys. Would like to watch a shootout between 2022 Toyota 4Runner Limited and 2022 Lexus GX 460. Fulltime 4WD SUVs that will disappear soon. The most reliable and safe option for us here in Canada during winter commute. Would like to compare both offroading, fuel efficiency, overall comfort, space for luggage, ect. We also consider replacing our 2008 Highlander Limited (v6 fulltime 4wd) for a modern Highlander Hybrid Platinum. Even though it is not really comparable with the other 2 it is way more efficient and I believe bigger inside. Than you for your great videos.
That trans tunnel is huge, it reminds me of cars from the 70's. How's it that most trucks can eliminate the tunnel or reduce the size so its not an issue, and Toyota can't?
Do any trim levels have more than 2-way lumbar? Toyota always goes so cheap on creature comforts.
You guys are awesome I went into my Toyota dealer and they told me the SR would tow 12k, the deal fell through because I would not pay the 6k up charge
Can I find one without a dealer markup!!!
Limited crewmax TRD package with panoramic roof and big screen 🙏🏽
For that kind of money i rather spent little more and get a diesel truck last as long as a tundra and i get all the power that a truck needs
Thank you guys for the very best video, it really helps me to making my right decision, tha KS again!!!
Also, should I be looking for a specific year? maybe 2018 models are more resilience than 2019, or 2021 rather than 2022.
The white trucks looks like the rear is squatted???
Can y’all do an updated deep dive with the capstone/TRD PRO and hybrid options for this video now?
Went to the dealership to order a TRD sport. They told me the only thing available is the Limited and HAD to be bought with certain options/packages. So, I stepped away. Just going to wait till I can get the vehicle I want...Not what they want to sell me. SMH
Well done guys. I’m a Toyota guy and I learned several items.
You learned that you aren’t the only one that wears a dress?
I love the truck and I was ready to jump on one but there are some issues i wish they could sort out. I feel like they cheated the limited a bit. Features like the tailgate step should be standard for a limited as well as the headlight trim. All the newer trucks have distinguished daytime headlight trims and it’s annoying you have to go above a limited to get them. Toyota also messed up by not giving the customer an option to color match trims on the front and back. You pay so much for the truck they should give the customer these options
Tailgate step? How about the complete delete of the front tow hooks? What full sized pickup doesn't have tow hooks? Only the Tundra.
@@jameshovey8301 for me personally the tailgate step (and other features which should be standard on a limited trim) are a bigger issue than the tow hooks. Hope they get this sorted out with a refresh next year
Gentlemen if you haven't done so already would you do a similar assessment on the Tacoma? Thanks
Can you get the new Tundra with a full bench front seat so you can accommodate 6 people ?
Toyota has been mix and matching spare brands for a long time on the tundra.
Since 2012 at least but I’d bet longer.
Why is Toyota’s website so confusing when you add the packages - it’s doesn’t seem like it’s working properly….
I am looking to purchase a tundra. But dealers are trying to keep the prices high.
Andre, you guys do good work. When is toyota going to offer the 2-3 OEM Lift kit? Thanks
Thank you for the review. I just got a 2021 TRD Pro so I'm waiting for the 2022 TRD Pro to come out to see if it would be worth upgrading.
Rory-Not Gail: Trying to decide if it's worth spending an additional $5-6K for a Tundra at an approximate $55K MSRP than spending much less on an F150 XLT with a $58-60K MSRP with all the bells and whistles that's been discounted to $48-50K.
If you choose to subscribe to wifi services it doesn't work while using android auto. So you have to switch back and forth.
I don't like that the black softex interior is restricted to certain package options in the limited and SR5 trims. I also don't like that you cannot get the TRD package on the platinum but you can on 1794. They need to offer the 1794 or TRD off road trims with more standard or traditional interior colors, black or grey ect. Get rid of the chrome grill surround on the limited, body matched paint looks so much better than the chrome in most cases.
Late to the party. Thought I'd update anyone reading this. I have 23 limited trd off road. No complaints great truck for sub 60k. Is the truck perfect? No. Could toyota have done better on the redisign? Yes. Over i think the sr5 trd OF and limited trd OF are really good bang for buck. If you want more options or capabilities then spend the money and go ram or ford (more play go ram trx, more luxary only go gmc but eh on that, more work for f150.) Overall limited and sr5 are amazing imo and anything over 60k i would shift to another truck and just pay 70k.
Wonderful explanation of the Tundra
Wow, good video thanks!
Actually just wait atleast a year! First year models are basically the test models. Wait for recalls. A friend works at a dealer & 2 needs turbos & other 2 needs new engine.
Hope you guys are safe with your families . Prayer your way and god bless
Hey TFL - What do you guys think about the fact that Toyota chose to save chips by removing the motorized controls from the cloth seats? In my opinion, this was a poor choice to save chips when there are many others in the truck less important to buyers. They of course have not come out and said this explicitly, but it's obvious they had to save chips where they could and this is one area they did. Almost every 2021 SR5 came with motorized seat controls, since they came with the convenience package.
Would like to see a side by side comparison between the silverado/GMC and the Tundra. Was alot of comments when leaked pics came out that Tundra looked like them.
Well let's hope the GM pickup ain't leaking like this Tundra is at 24:20 in the video.
Looks like the “leak” is just the ac condensate drain. And funny how I always see comments how Toyota copied GM, cause I think the current gen Silverado/GMC trucks look like the 2014+ 2nd gen Tundras (short hood and boxy bed)
@@chrisd.817 Why would they have the ac running at the end of December?
Your missing out on that panoramic sunroof lol. Even with the glass closed, it really gives a much bigger feel to the interior. I alway drive it with my cloth open and glass closed. When I close the cloth it feels so much smaller. I’ll have to close it when the So-Cal heat comes in July though lol.
I wait til Toyota reinstate front tow hook to the 3rd gen Tundra. Then I will buy one. Now i’m just watching on the side line.
Hey guys, I have enjoyed the videos! I have preordered a limited with the TRD package with options in smoked mesquite. I do not think this package comes with step rails or nerf bars. So my question is do you know if previous Gen(2021or2020) step rails or nerf bars will fit the 2022 Tundra? Thank you and happy New year!
When is the TFL crew going to address the Tundra engine recall? It seems to be a huge story that you guys are overlooking. Reasons?
Hope all of you @TFL are safe from these fires!
We are safe, thanks for asking!
I want to know about the motor and if it has problems I've been told that is a V6 turbo. And there's a lot of problems with this motor. Question wasn't the V8 solid why did they change to the V6 and does the V6 have problems..
Only one you can get with the body color grille and short bed up here in Canada is an SR with the TRD sport package. I can't really stand that silver trim on the grille, so looks like I would go for the cheap one. Seems like a reasonably decent deal with todays truck prices. Keeping what I have however all hypothetical here. It is free to play around with the websites after all.
What if you want to add a winch ? Even the TRD PRO gets the plastic front bumper with no recovery hooks. I wonder if the aftermarket will be able to make a winch bumper with the way it is integrated to the grille and fenders ??
The aftermarket should be able to do nearly anything. Isn’t that arrangement kinda similar to 4Runner or Tacoma? Those both have pretty extensive aftermarket options to include winches and such.
