I Drove 2022 Toyota Tundra for 90 Miles (with Video): I Did Not Expect This

Seems like somebody purchased a last year of outgoing model is is bitter about it. Outdated V8 with a terrible mileage.
Yeah, I had it for 2 weeks and that's not the truck I wanted in 2021.
Sorry buddy. Yeah, 12 "mph" sounds like a real truck. I'd take 2022. It seems unreal to me.
Lol

The double cabs have always had the small sliding window. The crewmax will still have the full slide down window as they always have

that's only half the question. maybe a third. sure it takes 87. but does the tow rating use premium? I have not researched this engine...the 5.7 v8 retarded ignition significantly with less than premium gas, and the tow rating stated done with premium. you wanted the most hp in the ole 5.7 tundra you did indeed run premium, which is usually a fallacy for cars/trucks...except when retarding timing nearly 12 degrees for 87.

that a remain to be seen statement. why think an engine that is not new to toyota wont last? Its been around since 2017.....

v6 turbo are the new 1/2 ton normal...ford ecoboost seem to be doing just fine.

while your statement makes logical sense-extra tech and turbos maybe more prone to issues. that statement just does not hold water these days as accurate. quality and machining and computer design and simulations and frankly less humans drunk on mondays and fridays building vehicles is better for quality. plus competition.

I have a 2011 F150 3.7 V6. 220,000 kms. Been used for work since the day I bought it plus a weekend off roader. Never had a single issue and it's running strong. Nearly 11 years old. So what were you saying?

I’ve had a 2017 and a 2020 Tundra 4x4 with the 5.7. There’s nothing I couldn’t tow with them. I’m not sure how the V6 and the twin turbos are going to work out. I’ll stay away from the 2022 model, that’s for sure.

@Rusty: Not all of us pull yellow iron or concrete debris. I don't. Heavy site-work equipment haulers won't (can't) use a V6 1/2 ton; we all know that. But the rest of us: yes... I haul ATVs, snowmobiles, firewood, boilers, water heaters, plywood, tools, and other assorted items that require a "truck" type of vehicle. I've owned Toyotas, Fords, Chevs, and Dodges over the years. By FAR the most trouble free were the "Japanese girl truck" Toyota models. This would include a 7.3 Powerstroke Ford, and also a 5.9 Cummins 3500 (which I still have).

I'm sure Toyota will do just fine with their new release Tundra. The "new" engine has been used in the Lexus line since 2017, it's likely a fine design for what it's intended purpose is, yellow iron notwithstanding.

Listen. Not everyone pulls concrete slabs or some other junk. You don’t have to justify or not a usability of a truck. I’m in a food business and haul different bags of food. V6 twin turbo is still way more than I need. I could get a Tacoma but I’m a big boy and I don’t like Tacoma’s lack of room.
So get over some idiotic stuff and go back to hauling some debris.

comparing half tons to 3/4+1 ton trucks is not exactly apple 2 apple now is it? If you need to tow steel, get a 3/4 ton or 1 ton. sounds like you do-so the tundra is not for you. maybe barking in the wrong forum. plenty of building contractors and fishermen here use tundras. plenty of suburban poofs drive american diesel rigs without ever working them. so what?

as to cummins, talk to my neighbor his cummins threw a rod bearing at 80k and he got laughed at by ram dealer. 13K rebuild. Ram is the cheapest out of the 'merica 3/4+1 ton diesel rigs for a reason. around here nothing but rams with rusting body panels albeit not the later gens. but totally falling apart.

probably the best thing for mopar was speaking italian and mexico high tech plant....you do know your 3/4 ton and 1 ton Ram is built in Mexico right? The plant gets rave reviews for quality, but when you drive around in your mexican labor built Ram tough, don't be putting that Buy 'Merica sticker on the back. Toyota purposely chose to build trucks in texas.

toyota stands behind their vehicles. even when an american supplier (dana corp) fails to rust proof frames and uses subpar steel 2 boot...no matter how high the miles.

I dont need to tow steel or a fifth wheel. Whether i trade my miserable mpg Tundra V8 for a new v6 turbo is debatable. I dont need to use it for highway miles I need it for towing a boat, debris, lumber, and getting dirty......a basic truck is what suits me.

You can keep your goat. Dodge is the absolute worst truck built by man. I didn’t buy my 2022 Tundra to haul a 5-story building. It’s our family vehicle and serves us well.

Mexican built beasts.

You get angry at a guy calling you a redneck? Ok gotcha concur. But Then brag about hitting a smaller car, thats curiously a Japanese brand. Why not endanger the lives of say a chevy bolt driver in your tale? Cmon man, you are fulfilling the label you disagree with being called.

You need a 3/4 ton or 1 ton for work. I respect that.

I dont. I also dont want the hassle of diesel emission tech, urea, water in diesel issues.

When I am wrenching my tundra with elp from a buddy here and there, i like to see japanese bearings (or american) in the wheel hub. i run 35's and a 4-5" lift, so yeah these go ere and there. not chinese or mexican bearings. Wonder what bearings are in that Ram wheel hub? ever compared the front wheel hub on a tundra 1/2 or the tundra rear diff and gearing to other 1/2 tons? not close. The mechanics I know who work on a lot of american trucks, say you want to have a reliable truck and dont need towing like a 3/4+1 ton buy Tundra. They also say most of the toyota parts are made in america-not the case for Ram.

I keep picking on Mexican Ram trucks to poke you. BY all accounts the mexican ram plant is a quality plant. However, I will say do you think if mexicans had better wages there would be less issues south of the border? Why do you not purchase American built trucks?
