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.
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!
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

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.
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.

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.
No V8 No Tundra for me..........I was ready to buy one.......after a visit to a dealership.......change my mide... I never follow the spec.......moving trailer for a long distance...that is the real test Also V6 with twin Turbo........when it broke......could cost $8000...in a short period of time My truck is not a phone...is a truck
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.
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
@@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.
Thanks for this most comprehensive explanation of options and packages. Well done gentlemen.☮ P.S. Great job steering away from overused height reference of 6'3"👍
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.
@@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.
@@gorillaman08zx WOW. What do you consider small? I have two rv’s and they don’t come close to max tow capability. Most “small” rv’s come in under 4000lbs.
It not even so much the tow rating. Its the awful payload rating. Especially on the higher trims averaging only 1300 lbs. I imagine the hybrid just over 1000 lb payload. What a joke! 7k trailer and 4 family member's its overloaded. Forget about putting anything in the bed. Wish they had XD version like Nissan. Just another 500 lbs payload. All these trucks will need airbags and be at the max payload or likely overloaded.
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.
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 ☹
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.
What a great video!! Many thanks, for explaining the differences in the Tundra models. This video confirms I want the Platinum, once it is allocated and arrives at my local dealer. Iwish and hope that the future of buying cars can be done directly from the website and order how you like it, then pick it up at the dealer of your choice. Thanks again!
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
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.
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
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. 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.
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
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
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.
We’re you able to select a red 1794 on your configure? It looked like it on the video. That is the truck I want but can’t seem to select red in 1794. Thanks for any help you can provide
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..
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!!
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.
Just over 3 months from when they made this video, and the Toyota Build configurator is VERY limited now. Most of those packages aren't options. You can't even build a 1794 version now. Can't build an SR5 TRD Sports package. Very disappointing.
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!
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.
Markups is probably why and some add on features and accessories to Jack up the price. Two local dealers near me have either 10k markup on all their trucks with 2k in ""accessories""( tint, theft protection etc) or they are selling them with a mild lift with wheels and tires. I would never pay over msrp for any truck. I have a 2021 and just test drove a 2022 and wow I love what toyota did with the new tundra. Truck looks better in person, the power delivery is wonderful and the truck is so smooth to drive. Steering input is precise and I drove an sr5 premium with the leather seats and 14 inch screen. Interior is miles better over the current tundra. I wanted to drive it away but I wasn't gonna pay 10k over. Find a dealer willing to work with you. Otherwise don't waste you time with many of them.
Hey guys, Do you happen to know if the catalytic converter is a lot more protected on this newer model? I'm hesitant to get the Tundra because currently in Houston Texas the catalytic converters are stolen on a daily basis from the older Tundra model.
You people in cities are hilarious to me. All I hear is about how bad cities are and people keep on living there and voting local politicians that do nothing to make it better. In my neck of the woods we don’t have that problem. Mostly because it’s out in the country and everyone is armed. Thieves know they’re in danger of getting shot. Still happens, but not much
@@Silencio_12 For what it's worth... F150's cats are closer to the engine, more tucked up into the frame between the frame and transmission with a plastic skid plate under it. You can still see it cuz the cat ends where the skid plate ends, and it's just a few bolts to take off the plate.
@lester Parker Don’t tell the city people our secret, let them live in squalor in the big cities, we don’t want them to move out and infect the countrysides 😳
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.

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.
Thanks for this most comprehensive explanation of options and packages. Well done gentlemen.☮ P.S. Great job steering away from overused height reference of 6'3"👍
He did say it though. "Almost 6'3", just under that."
@@anthonyc1883 Me thinks he's aware. but alot like myself was on TFL b4 T&C
I do note the creativity.
Thanks guys for making videos like this,very helpful.Happy New Years 😀
Thank you guys! This helped tremendously
The white trucks looks like the rear is squatted???
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.
Can y’all do an updated deep dive with the capstone/TRD PRO and hybrid options for this video now?
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.
If you choose to subscribe to wifi services it doesn't work while using android auto. So you have to switch back and forth.
Would love to get a TRD pro or 1794 but the towing numbers just aren’t there.
Yeah but for only $65K you can’t have everything.
@@Rhinopuddles44 it’s not even capable of towing my smallest trailer
@@gorillaman08zx WOW. What do you consider small? I have two rv’s and they don’t come close to max tow capability. Most “small” rv’s come in under 4000lbs.
It not even so much the tow rating. Its the awful payload rating. Especially on the higher trims averaging only 1300 lbs. I imagine the hybrid just over 1000 lb payload. What a joke! 7k trailer and 4 family member's its overloaded. Forget about putting anything in the bed. Wish they had XD version like Nissan. Just another 500 lbs payload. All these trucks will need airbags and be at the max payload or likely overloaded.
@@gorillaman08zx it sounds like you’re needing a heavy duty. Not sure why something like a Tundra was ever a consideration.
Can I find one without a dealer markup!!!
Limited crewmax TRD package with panoramic roof and big screen 🙏🏽
Gentlemen if you haven't done so already would you do a similar assessment on the Tacoma? Thanks
Glad they added a locking rear diff on the TRD off-road package.
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.
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.
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 ☹
I will get an SR5 4x4 base price and I will add after market parts and supplies.
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.
What a great video!! Many thanks, for explaining the differences in the Tundra models. This video confirms I want the Platinum, once it is allocated and arrives at my local dealer. Iwish and hope that the future of buying cars can be done directly from the website and order how you like it, then pick it up at the dealer of your choice. Thanks again!
Happy new year. AWSOME content. Keep it up !!!
The Platinum front piece between the fog lights has not been coming body color painted even though their configuration shows it painted. Weird?
Thank you for this. Very much helped me.
Happy new year from Fiji 🇫🇯
so which is the best trim for payload, comfort, and tech? i dont care about towing. 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
Why is Toyota’s website so confusing when you add the packages - it’s doesn’t seem like it’s working properly….
Thanks for a good review of all the models.
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.
I'm saving up right now for a 2020 Tundra
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
Excellent video guys thanks for sharing really helps define the different trim levels.
Andre, you guys do good work. When is toyota going to offer the 2-3 OEM Lift kit? Thanks
I have a 2007 SR5 with 160K miles. Has treated me fairly well but that new truck feeling keeps on creeping up.
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?
Big T.Y. For that all precision for all those models of Tundra 2022.
Do any trim levels have more than 2-way lumbar? Toyota always goes so cheap on creature comforts.
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 am looking to purchase a tundra. But dealers are trying to keep the prices high.
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.
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
Great video guys, very helpful information and comparison!
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?
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?
You guys are the best, great video 👍
Also, should I be looking for a specific year? maybe 2018 models are more resilience than 2019, or 2021 rather than 2022.
Great video guys.
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
Excellent video 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
Do you know why now it says "No packages available" no matter what I choose almost?
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.
What do you think about the softex seats vs traditional leather?
We’re you able to select a red 1794 on your configure? It looked like it on the video. That is the truck I want but can’t seem to select red in 1794.
Thanks for any help you can provide
Yea you can go to the dealership. You wont be able to get red interior….
How come you don't have the digital rearview mirror? You have the Off-Road Package with Multi-terrain cameras?
Wow, what an incredibly well done, very thorough video! Amazing how they put it together in such a sort time.
I was looking at the sr5 build options and I only see one package option now. Does anybody know if Toyota changed this ?
Can you get the new Tundra with a full bench front seat so you can accommodate 6 people ?
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..
Thank you guys for the very best video, it really helps me to making my right decision, tha KS again!!!
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!!
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.
Just over 3 months from when they made this video, and the Toyota Build configurator is VERY limited now. Most of those packages aren't options. You can't even build a 1794 version now. Can't build an SR5 TRD Sports package. Very disappointing.
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.
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!
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.
The sr crewcab also has the roll down rear window while the double cab gets the horizontal rear window
How come when you guys max out options it's in the 60k range and when you're in the dealership it's 70K?
Markups is probably why and some add on features and accessories to Jack up the price. Two local dealers near me have either 10k markup on all their trucks with 2k in ""accessories""( tint, theft protection etc) or they are selling them with a mild lift with wheels and tires.
I would never pay over msrp for any truck. I have a 2021 and just test drove a 2022 and wow I love what toyota did with the new tundra. Truck looks better in person, the power delivery is wonderful and the truck is so smooth to drive. Steering input is precise and I drove an sr5 premium with the leather seats and 14 inch screen. Interior is miles better over the current tundra. I wanted to drive it away but I wasn't gonna pay 10k over. Find a dealer willing to work with you. Otherwise don't waste you time with many of them.
I want to know about that classic Mini in the background..
Hey guys, Do you happen to know if the catalytic converter is a lot more protected on this newer model? I'm hesitant to get the Tundra because currently in Houston Texas the catalytic converters are stolen on a daily basis from the older Tundra model.
You people in cities are hilarious to me. All I hear is about how bad cities are and people keep on living there and voting local politicians that do nothing to make it better. In my neck of the woods we don’t have that problem. Mostly because it’s out in the country and everyone is armed. Thieves know they’re in danger of getting shot. Still happens, but not much
it's not protected, at all.

@@gwot Very Interesting. Thanks for the link!
@@Silencio_12 For what it's worth... F150's cats are closer to the engine, more tucked up into the frame between the frame and transmission with a plastic skid plate under it. You can still see it cuz the cat ends where the skid plate ends, and it's just a few bolts to take off the plate.
@lester Parker
Don’t tell the city people our secret, let them live in squalor in the big cities, we don’t want them to move out and infect the countrysides 😳
“TRD Pro is a little bit wider, mostly with wheel offset.” What does that mean? What else is making it wider? Fenders, axles?
Knowing Toyota probably wheel spacers or rim offset
