2022 Toyota Tundra | First Look HD

For the latest Toyota Tundra pricing and information: https://www.kbb.com/toyota/tundra/ The all-new third-generation Toyota Tundra is finally here, and when I say all-new I mean it. From the ground up Toyota’s reimagined their full-size truck. Things I love. The headlight integration. The profile I like these arches that mimicking the wheel arches. The blacked out A Pilar looks killer. And the integrated light bar on the TRDPro. As much as I like how the look has morphed and feels more squared off, I’m not a fan of the maximum grille. Yes at least it’s all open and used for cooling but I think we’ve jumped the shark and can’t wait until this design moment is gone. Yes, Toyota has moved away from the 5.7-liter V8 to a twin-turbo V6. But with it you’ve got two options.The base 3.5-liter 6 makes more power (389hp/479 lb ft torque) than the previous V8 and though gas mileage numbers aren’t available the V6 should be less of a guzzler. There’s also a mild hybrid version that Toyota calls the i-Force MAX that gets power numbers into impressive territory (437hp/583 lb ft torque). The base engine gets a max towing capacity of 12,000 pounds and a max payload of 1940 pounds. Both engine options pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission.You’re going to have a lot more range to play with and those higher cruising gears should also help with gas mileage. The new fully boxed ladder frame, which should offer more rigidity, gets a bit wider in the rear to improve stability and help with that greater towing number. They’ve used aluminum throughout the body to help reduce weight and cross members are twice as big. Abandoning a leaf spring suspension seems to be all the truck fashion these days. The F-150 Raptor just did, and the Tundra follows suit. There’s now a multi-link set up in the rear with coils. There’s a new double wishbone in the front, so technically, this new Tundra should have a much better ride quality than its predecessor. That rear set up also allows the Tundra to get outfitted with a new optional air suspension that’s load adjusting depending on what you’re doing and how fast you’re doing it and how much load you’re carrying.If you’re doing some off-road driving, then the TRD-Off Road packages ratchet things up for you with monotube Bilstein shocks as well as Terrain Select, Crawl control and a locking rear diff. The TRD-Pro gets a new front stabilizer bar, and extra skid plate up front and all-terrain Falken tires. And there will be new features including multi-terrain modes, hill descent control and an off-road cruise control so drivers can focus on steering. The Tundra’s Trailer Back Guidance and Straight Path Assis are two systems that will help with towing maneuvering and the 360 camera views that are optional will make both towing and off-road driving even safer and easier. There are two 4-door cab options (Double Cab/CrewMax) and three bed lengths available on the Tundra (Graphic: 5.5-foot/6.5-foot/8.1-foot). And the C
