The trd is what I think I want, they are the best looking!Because they want you to buy the T̶U̶R̶D̶ TRD Pro edition

I don’t think it gets a different axleBecause they want you to buy the T̶U̶R̶D̶ TRD Pro edition
Lol, I was making a bad joke about the TRD nameI don’t think it gets a different axle
It really depends on which trim level that sticker applies to. The TRD Pro will have softer springs an less payload Also, some versions have air suspension.Toyota dropped the ball with the new coil suspension. Rear GAWR is only 3,670 lbs?! Why so weak?

The Hybrid version might have some weird stuff going on, as well. Even though the GVWR is a nice 7330lb, the hybrid drivetrain, permanently mounted towards the front, might have made them decide to de-rate the rear for a better ride.
Um, that's actually pretty impressive. 1270kg = 2800lbs. 2800lbs of payload??? Am I misinterpreting that? What other 1/2-ton truck has that kind of payload?Air suspension on Ram doesn’t change its GAWR though
here is payload from that Tundra

Yep, you are misinterpreting that. It’s 1,270 lbs or 575 kg. Check the picture again.Um, that's actually pretty impressive. 1270kg = 2800lbs. 2800lbs of payload??? Am I misinterpreting that? What other 1/2-ton truck has that kind of payload?
MehLooks good in the video

Ram fully replaces its coil springs with air springsI'm not 100% sure on the Ram's air suspension. Does the Ram's air suspension system replace the springs or does it just help level the truck.
Ah, yup, I definitely read that wrong. I saw kg really quick. I'll go back and say I suspect this is the TRD pro. The off-road version is going to have **** for payload. I'd like to see if the Rear GAWR changes on the other models.Yep, you are misinterpreting that. It’s 1,270 lbs or 575 kg. Check the picture again.
Here's the Ram TRX: 1,310 lbs
Vs. the Standard Ram: 1,242 to 2,322 lbs
Yea, I've noticed some of the Rams are as low as 1050. Checking off some of those options is risky. 4 adults + my daily carry (tools, straps, chain, boots, etc) would put me at the max. Or just 1 adult plus the tongue weight of a trailer.My truck's sticker states 1,103. Its a well optioned, heavy Limited. If I had the MFT, it'd be even a tad less.
so, mildly disappointing like all new Toyotas.![]()
2022 Toyota Tundra First Drive Review: Direct Hit?
We test drive the all-new Tundra to see how it might compare against the benchmark Truck of the Year–winning Ram 1500, as well as the Ford F-150.www.motortrend.com
I’ll be happy when the dealership model gets abolished for manufacturers building dealerships to sell direct to consumer. There are laws against that in most states at this point, but new EV legislation puts a loophole in that.So I've been following the 2022 Tundra owners group on FB. Honestly, I like the new Tundra a lot. Heavily improved over the outgoing model.
The power is impressive. It's got a 10-speed now. They finally fixed the rear axle ratio and dropped it down to a 3.30 which is MUCH more suitable for a 1/2 ton truck. Much better technology. The composite bed is great. The new rear suspension is nice. And it has a heated steering wheel, my favorite Ram/Jeep feature! So all in all, the new Tundra looks amazing in and out.
The problem with it is the pricing. It's very expensive. And this is being compounded by dealer mark-up. Most dealers are doing $5k to $10k mark-up. That's the #1 complaint I'm seeing on the owners groups. Buy a $55k truck for $70k, wreck it a month later, and you're screwed.
So, I'm out. Not buying a Tundra. Toyota and their dealers have both screwed this truck from the get-go. AND....to make it worse you cannot walk into a Toyota dealer and order exactly what you want. I didn't know that until now.
