2022 Toyota Tundra

[Smerberj]

Honestly I really like what I'm seeing and hearing about the 2022 Tundra. If I like it, and if it comes in white with black accents like the RAM midnight edition then I'll be trading in my RAM. Already got the green light from the wife.

My first truck was a 1992 Toyota pickup - standard cab, 5 speed, 2wd with the 4-cyl (22RE). Never had a problem with it and was a great truck.

Fast forward 25 years and I'm in the market for a new truck (2019). I visit the Toyota dealership to check out new Tundras:

1. Salesperson was semi-friendly until I started asking questions, then became huffy when I wasn't completely sold on any of the trucks I looked at.
2. Discounts are minimal. Outside of a couple thousand for a factory discount there wasn't anything to be had as far as a "deal" outside of an additional $500 because I'm a veteran.

The only truck that interested me was a Limited that was 4 years old and they still wanted $45K for it. Yes, they are very reliable vehicles but if my choice is a 4-year-old Tundra for $45K or a brand new RAM 1500 for $44K then I choose the RAM.

This type of pricing is why all of those articles and such that say the Tundra has the best resale are bunk. Because it is based off of MSRP, and you don't pay close to MSRP (normal times) with the Big 3.

Good choice, and resale between the two is actually pretty close, even though there are a lot more RAMs out there than Tundras. When I was picking up our new Toyota C-HR, the saleman looked at my RAM and said I should trade it in on a Tundra. I told her I didn't want a 10 year old F150, lol.

I told her I'll wait until the new one comes and and think about it then.

If they're option packages weren't based on color I might have found one I liked. I'm fairly particular about exterior color and it seemed liked a lot of the option combinations I liked were not available in my color "spectrum".

Awwwww coil springs and now the hood badges...

It’s preproduction but I expect the unveil to be within the next 2 weeks. Looks to have carbon fiber fender flares and tailgate trim. Also, think the TRD Pro will have that red/blood orange color which explains the iForce Max engine speculation of orangish electric harnesses, probably just the paint since for 2022, it’s believed to be the first year to have separate colors for the TRD’s. Red/Blood Orange for the Tundra, Green for the Tacoma, and Yellow for the 4Runner.

The side profile and rear end actually look really good, really excited for the interior to be unveiled.

I'm assuming the TRD pro going to compete with the TRX and Raptor? If that's the case then i suspect the other tundra models will look less aggressive.

Not my style, that’s for sure. It looks like the grill got ripped off, exposing the radiator.

Looks good, buddy works for Toyota at one of their plants, he got a smoking 1 year lease deal on a Tacoma he picks up next year; he'll be waiting for this.

I think it’s pretty legit. My wife has a 4Runner, it’s been a great car. Like others, I appreciate Toyotas reliability, resell, and other areas where it excels. And like others, I think the current Tundra is outdated and not competitive with its peers.

Had it not been for the pandemic and a better line of sight in regards to what’s the come with the Tundra, I might have waited for it.

I imagine they will have some pretty good technology and other somewhat game changing things in their release.

I picked up my on Monday, my current truck is a 2001. In 20 years when I buy another truck, I will look at the 2041 Tundra.

Yeah uhh... bye, bye Ram... Hello Toyota.

Damn, looks like someone stole the hubcaps already.

That front end is ugly as hell and it looks like a GM truck from the front wheel well back. No thanks…..

It may grow on you over time...it is definitely one mean looking SOB!

I see Ram in the badging and Chevy/GMC in the rear fender/side of bed area. Mirrors, Grille, Headlights, and Side Profile seem pretty unique to me.

Good or bad? Seriously. I’m feeling ambivalent.
