Next-Gen 2022 Toyota Tundra: Why You May Want a Tundra Hybrid

I wish I had your optimism I see Toyota releasing alot of press teases and thats what they do best. They are trying to hype this truck without showing it and the only reason I can think of for not showing it is because it is not remotely living up to their hype.

I have never owned anything other then a Toyota and when My truck gives out I will be buying something else. The Toyota chief engineer, removed storage and the rear recliners from the 2007 even removed the Rear autiomatic window from the SR5 and the 2014 was born. For the following 7 years they played with Paint, and PRO and every other trick in the book to sell the same exact truck. I have lost my trust in Toyota and their ability to be innovative. My next truck will not be a Tundra.

How many ways can you, and others, write these click-bait articles with nothing more than speculation? You’re just rehashing the exact same info (speculation) that’s been floating around for months, if not years. Rumors about engine and transmission plus the likelihood of a hybrid version. It could be this or it might be that. Enough already! Write something when you’ve got facts, or at least new pictures that support your speculation.

The Ford F-150 delivers 25/25 mpg. Anything less by Toyota would be an engineering failure.
There is a reason Toyota is in 4th place. This new Tundra with no V-8, is a big gamble.

Automotive press says the 2022 Tundra will be revealed around June. According to that engineer who is a consultant for Toyota, the specs and teasers will not be released like other companies do because Toyota is more secretive and doesn't typically release teaser specs or pics. There is a rendering from that engineer of what he thinks the next Tundra will look like based on camouflage pictures that are out there.

With the paint failing on my 2017 Tacoma with 27k miles and 2 months out of warranty, I would NOT buy another Toyota product. If you can't apply paint, what else is wrong?

I bought my new '19 Tundra 1794 just last July (7/20). The Tundra, might be to some, an anachronism in today's truck market, but that is the very reason I bought it. I have no use for all of new doo-dads and latest gizmos that the Big 3 (and even Nissan's small play) have added to their truck lines. However, for me, it's all about the entirety of the experience.

Yes, the gas mileage of our 5.7s is bad. HP/TQ, towing and load capacity are no longer class leading, but for the vast majority of all truck owners, regardless of brand, the Tundras meet and exceed their abilities all the time.

Some of the things I love - The proven, venerable drivetrain (especially the sound of that 5.7 with my TRD PRO dual exhaust!), looks, the way it feels behind the wheel, the look and smell of the interior with the great 1794, outward visibility, the HD frame and just generally the heft of the truck.

Really, my only complaint is the JBL "Premium' stereo. I did find that if you max the bass and treble and scoop the mids, it helps a lot. I can even hear the sub on certain tracks! Lol

While I don't hear of too many catastrophic failures of any of the brands, you hear of all sorts of irritating troubles related to the electronics. The current gen Tundras don't have all of fancy equipment, but you can't deny the durability of them.

I'm glad I got in while the 5.7 is still in existence. That's what I want in a truck.

"I do not feel most people buy a full-size truck for the gas efficiency."

As an original owner of a 2006 Tundra, I have literally been waiting for Toyota to come out with a more efficient Tundra. The fuel efficiency does not need to go from worst in class to best in class; it just needs to be significantly improved. I am anticipating a 22-23 MPG number while retaining Toyota dependability. Performance of 25 MPG or better would be a game changer.

I don't care anything about hybrids. But PLEASE let me have a 6.5' bed on my CrewMax!!!

I wish you guys would provide more accurate information. A trip to the Toyota dealership and they said that long wait is due to problems with the chip manufacturer they are way behind due to COVID restrictions at that assembly plant.

Lets assume Toyota gives us a Hybrid Tundra. A Hybrid Tundra is going to be more expensive (won't be an SR5 trim. Probably limited and higher trims). I'd venture a guess that 90% of Tundra buyers do not want a Hybrid. This obsession with Hybrid powertrain and Turbo V6 is nauseating. Its a freaking pickup. People want a CrewMax with a standard bed, V8 engine, slightly lighter truck for better MPG and increased payload, and an 8 speed auto for better MPG and towing. Nobody cares about a large screen for the head unit.

I have a 2007 tundra crewmax sr5, and would like a stronger towing capacity to pull a 3 horse gooseneck trailer, in the horse world id like to see Toyota’s instead of other kinds of trucks, they need to make a heavy dutie truck 3/4 or more, love my tundra, thanks for reading,
