Next-Gen 2022 Toyota Tundra Fans Mixed on New Transmission Choice

All I want is a hybrid version with close to mid 20’s mpg. If I get that then I’m fine. I feel everything else they will work out. I’m on the edge. I love the new Highlander. I’m holding out for this to be announced. They are making it really hard.

Hello my name is Joseph Wilkins I've owned a Toyota Tundra 2000 for 21 years now the frame rusted-out we really enjoyed the vehicle the new one looks spectacular I'm retired now but enjoy looking at it

How about a center differential so we can finally have AWD?

I'd rather have a sister in a whore house than have a hybrid... PC can eat a D/€✓..... For the love of peanut butter.... people...grow up! Do or don't! Performance is awesome..own it.!!! yes it's a fuel..it's liquid entertainment...buy it.... the sound of waking up a beast.... That ...that is amazing....If you don't feel good reading that.. hearing that sound.. Then...well then...you are part of the problem and not the solution, good day to you!!!!

I have had 4 WD Tundras since 2006 my current truck was bought new in 2012 and has 70k miles. Why would I think of myself as being more qualified to choose a tranny than the Tundra team? Tundra is a wonderful vehicle and at age 75 my current Tundra may be my last-who knows? In any event, if I buy a new or not, I hope the folks at Toyota don't listen to some fanboy.

Keep the high ground clearance for those of us that live in the snow belt.

crewmax is too big cab, double cab too small -- I'd be ok with a single 4door offering with a 6 foot box. Tumble and fold the rear seat please !!! It'd make the most excellent use of the rear seat. (tumble forward the bottom, and you have a dog kennel. Fold the back down if needed for cargo (think 4runner)

I own an 18 Tundra Limited Double Cab.....love the V8 and would be uncomfortable with a smaller displacement engine ala Ford Eco-boost....or some complicated hybrid system. I would rather see some additional bed and cargo capacity options, more modern driver experience and dashboard, possibly making a strong diesel option available for Heavy Duty Towing. And make a more robust four-wheel drive system to include an optional locker or crawl control.

The hybrid version won’t be for everyone but it will be for some. Toyota makes the best hybrids in the business. I’m confident they will find a way to give the power needed along with fuel efficiency. I personally won’t purchase a new tundra without it being a hybrid model of some sort. To each their own. Toyota has been working on this updated version for years and years. I’m sure they will have something to please everyone. They know what they need to do.

I own a 2016 Tundra Crewmax Limited 4WD. The mileage sucks. The suspension is from the dinosaur age and the towing capacity needs to be improved if they expect to continue to compete with the traditional American pickups. My interior space is cavernous and I love it. I have previously owned three Toyota vehicles. The reason I bought my Tundra was Toyota reliability. My wife's RAV4 has 170K miles on it and runs great. If the American trucks were more reliable and didn't rust at the site of rain, I would consider them for my next truck.

Would love to see a diesel option with a 10 speed transmission, and a standard rear locker. At the very least, a Crew Max with a 6'6" bed, and better fuel economy.

Tundra has gone considerably downhill since 2007. My 2012 was good, but my 2017 with its 20 deleated things, like dual glove boxes, a handle to get in on the driver side, a light in the glove box, storage in the rear doors, and the most uncomfortable front seat ever put into a vehicle, no longer dual climate control, among countless other little things that made Tundras special. Yes they are reliable, but the cheating up of the vehicle has me looking elsewhere for my next truck next year. So let your bean counters continue to ride in their Lexus. I had a good run with the Tundras, but it's over unless they bring back the things they got rid of--i am not holding my breath. 3 double cabs, SR 5 models the 07, 12 both went way over 100,000 miles, 70,000 miles on the 17.

Hopefully not the same person that designed the Tacoma transmission. Shifting logic is straight TRASH

I have a 2004 Tundra that is in good health, only 50k miles, but the paint is failing. I want a serious cargo capacity, to use about a dozen times a year. A full ton of payload, with a full-length bed that can carry ladders and lumber, and sometimes a dozen bags of cement. I want to fill the "back seat" full of tools, also about a dozen times a year, and with an actual passenger maybe once a year. The "back seat" is really for tools more than for people. I want a comfortable interior, and some safety features. I don't need to climb mountains with heavy loads, but I really do want to avoid buying fuel. But most of all, I want it to be reliable for the next 20 years.

That last requirement knocks out most of the competition. My neighbor says Chevy trucks are easy to fix -- but I want one that just doesn't need to be fixed.

I love the pics of the 2021 current Tundra featured here in this article about the 2022. Genius!

I own a 2015 Platinum Tundra Crew Max. It is supercharged and has 550hp. It has been very reliable. I love the interior it still looks good 7 years later. I tow with the truck occasionally and it performs that task well. There are no BSR issues 7 years later.

Things I dislike. The JBL navigation/ infotainment system is utter trash. I cant figure out why all manufacturers cheap out in this area.
It lacks a heated steering wheel. My Jeep Cherokee seems to have one...
The lack of locking differentials is absurd. In 10" of snow this truck is useless. If you leave traction control on it just comes to a halt and wont proceed in the slippery conditions.
I will not buy a new Tundra if it doesnt have a 550+ hp V8 option. I definitely wont buy one with a V6, turbos or not.

Good luck Toyota. I think I will keep my current Tundra. Then I will eventually need to look at buying another Ram like the TRX.

If their 10 speed and V6 turbo is anything like the Ford F-150, then I'll pass. Those 10 speeds have been nothing but trouble for me. Just over complicated and very rough shifting. And the turbo V6's just don't have the torque when towing. Not to mention they are much more expensive to maintain and fix in the long run.
