2022 Next-Gen Toyota Tundra Fans Torn Over Engine Options

300k on my 5.7, needed nothing so far. Oil sampling says all good. 14 mpg I'll keep it

When it comes time to replace the twin turbos at $4,000 or more a piece I don't think a V6 makes any sense at all. All for better gas mileage but don't want to pay the cost of replacing turbo's. I love my 2002 4.7 and probably will keep it until I leave this planet.

DIESEL

Love my crewmax limited 14. Power to tow what I need to tow, room for family, reliable. What else do I want? Affordability! Better backup camera options, front facing camera, locking rear diff option on all trim levels, better interior storage especially under rear seats, Hybrid v8. What I don't want? TT6 to get power, a huge screen that I have to navigate to just turn the a/c on, Panoramic roof. Give me a well balanced truck that can tow AND haul, decent mpgs. 16-18 city 22-25 highway would be understandable. But whatever you do, don't screw up the reliability. Doesn't make sense to save a few dollars on gas then have to spend hundreds on stupid repairs.

I bought a 2008 SR5 4x4 about a year ago with 189k miles on it. It has over 203k miles on it, the only things that have needed attention are, normal wear items, i.e. tires, brakes and front springs. I thoroughly enjoy the truck and enjoy only needing to visit the shop for normal maintenance. As a prior Jeep fan, now a Toyota fan, I no longer see my mechanic 1-2 times per week for something else breaking on my vehicle and I don't have to worry about whether my truck will start when I turn the key every time. My Tundra has never let me down. The 5.7 definitely guzzles gas but it has all the power I need and has reliability far beyond any other vehicle I've owned in the past 25 years.

Love my 2013 , 4.7 would not drive any other, if the new Tundra gets a smaller engine am out keep my old V8, life is to short to think about gas, if you go out for a meal f two that's $100, I can drive from LA to AZ for that !

Love my 1794 4x4 Tundra, it will outlast me. I will be using it as a coffin and once its all paid off I will be installing a Supercharger. Who cares about gas millage, are we running out of gas or something? I would NEVER get or recommend turbo V6 option maybe a Supercharged V8 version.

I bought my 2008 tundra from my son and it had 80,000 miles in it. Since then I've put 200,000 miles on top of his miles. It's the 5.7 and I've done nothing to it but regular oil changes and tires and only two tune-ups . I'm a Toyota man and we have a 2013 venza so if the new twin turbo V-6 will last as long as my 5.7 then I will get one. I will wait and see how they do before I jump on the band wagon.

Why is everyone so concerned with fast! It only needs to go the speedlimit. As far as TT goes wait until you have to replace one and drop 2500+. Old and out dated means developed and reliable all the bugs worked out and parts availability. Biggest mistake VW made was to kill the type1 beetle.

I personally have a first gen 2003 with the 4.7, one thing I've been asking for is a diesel option similar to the Nissan titan. The tundra platform has the tow specks to back it and I think toyota could do with a diesel seeing as they already have a diesel motor of there own. May increase the buyer market for those who use there trucks to tow diesel is more efficient in towing compared to it's petrol counterpart.

Reason I want a diesel is toyota has a great interior in there trucks and I like the new tundras interior. But the motor isn't what I want I bought a truck because it's a tool you use It to tow or to haul things not just go get groceries and gas just isn't as efficient as diesel when you slap another 4-5k behind the truck. And my next truck would probably be a ram if toyota doesn't put a diesel comparable to the 6.7 cummins specks.

This is just my 2 cents hope y'all feel the same. Thanks

I love the sound of the tundra when you start it,

Agree whole heatedly on the brand image suicide. An american full sized truck comes. with. a. V8.
Sure, for the sake of the environment make the v8 more efficient but dispense with this v6 heresy!

I bought my 2000 Tundra brand new in December of 1999. I Still have it, drive it most everyday. It has the first generation V8 4.7L and still performs most excellently with over 260,000 miles. I have done very little other than regular maintenance. I have replaced some coil packs and new timing belt kit at 204,000 miles. Also had it repainted to the original jade green. Gonna keep this one as long as I can, it’s been the best vehicle I’ve ever had!!

Turbos don’t sound very appealing, Toyota’s hybrids have proven themselves to be reliable, would much rather see a plug-in hybrid. 30 mpg would be nice, but 25 is more realistic, which is still pretty dang good for that size of truck.

5.7 with 10 speed tran1 lower gear and 3 upper gears will increase power and miles per gallon and Toyota makes the best 10 speed tran use by other brand autos

i b keeping my 2018 5.7 big mistake if they cancel v8

Hi I have a 2012 tundra 5.7 magnetic gray with the Trd package, great truck in snow or on sand, I am in ny I take it to Florida a lot it has the bush wacker flares painted to match I would say about 8 neighbor’s bought tundras, the only thing I will say is my 1983 Corolla my daily driver the interior is stronger.

let us know in local newspapers when Tundra diesels going to hit the market so that I can go to the local dealer to order mine

What will be the gas mileage on the 2022 or 2033 Tundra if its 15 18 that is no good ford is killing that

I towed an 8,500 Lb trailer 1,200 miles. 800 miles on I-5, and the rest on two lane roads crossing a mountain pass at 6,800 feet there and back with a 2013 F-150 XLT Soper Cab 4x4. I averaged 12.5 mpg for the entire trip. I sold Ford & Lincoln Mercury for 31 consecutive years. I have been with Toyota for about three years now. Yes !! The Tundra's are the truck that you just can't kill, and 300,000 plus thousand mile is the usual, not the exception. Please do not doubt the ability and performance of the Twin Turbo V-6. The New design Turbo's Will stand the test of time !!! and fuel mileage difference will make a believer of you in short order. I welcome the New 2022 Tundra !!!

Toyota killing the reliable V8 with a Turbo V6 is a very, very bad move. They will do unnecessary damage to their stellar reputation for reliability and will most likely bring the V8 back when they recognize the error of their ways. Due to the unbelievably high rpm's a turbo turns, no lubricant can adequately protect the components in a gas engine.

Frankly, I have no plans to ever drive an electric or hybrid, unless they are comparable in power, range and torque with a 5 minute charging time. I don't see that happening in my lifetime.
