10 Things We Hate About The 2022 Toyota Tundra

[@stonepa]

The inability to drive with a door open is a real problem up north. When we drive on a frozen lake we always keep the doors unlatched in case we break through the ice and have to bail. May have to find a fix disabling the door sensor.

[@overlandtundras]

Oh wow never thought about that!

[@Swindy1794]

I’m keeping my 2019 Tundra 1794 till the wheels fall off!. I have none of those issues 😢 runs and drives perfectly.

[@overlandtundras]

I think that generation will be the bullet proof tundra. We have both and the 2015 is the one I abuse and she stills runs strong with no issues

[@OXFOOT]

Speaking of first world problems, as much as I love the audio controls all being on one side on the 2nd gen, I still think they got the skip track and volume buttons backwards. Up/Down should be volume and left right should be next/previous track.

[@overlandtundras]

Right!

[@ryancureton7835]

I bought the 22 in September 22 with only two on the lot. I wish I would’ve waited. I haven’t had any issues, they started calling me for recalls immediately. Hopefully they caught everything in time. Turbo lag has happened twice while attempting to pull out into on coming traffic. I take my foot off the brake at most lights or stops, to prevent it. I’m seeing #5 is the most alarming. If you want to drive with the door open, you have to allow it to roll until it self brakes, then put it back in park and back to drive again. Same for reverse, but you can drive with the doors open. I know it still sucks but that’s the only way to bypass the self braking.

[@chrisrea8267]

For the turbo lag on startup, there is a service bulletin on that. You have to ask them to look it up.

[@overlandtundras]

Good to know I’ll let them know next time I take it in. Thanks!

[@Jhihmoac]

The cost for these and all new pickups is astronomical!

[@overlandtundras]

Yea they are beautiful but it’s a mortgage payment!!

[@FTKDeLaVega]

Thank you for an honest review. Your insight will definitely help me decide on my next tundra.

[@overlandtundras]

You are welcome. Make sure to look at the top 10 things we love about it!

[@agarciagarcia7815]

I have 2022, 1794 hybrid for almost one year and 8 months they had 13,000 miles so far no problems remember you have #Warranty peace in mind

[@overlandtundras]

Luckily no major issues here. Still love the truck!

[@proto7688]

I have a 2023 with 9,000miles and crank bearing failure ... A piece of trim would have been a better deal lol but I think I'll be going back to my 2018 after Toyota buys the 23 back. Also if anyone else is wondering the 23 is less roomy than the 2018 I had and it's really bothering me when I need to stretch out legs and knees but have this huge center console taking up place with rattling plastic. Oh well live n learn ... Was nice to drive before engine failed. I did not get any transmission issues but the throttle hesitation def bad.

[@overlandtundras]

Wooow that’s crazy thankfully nothing serious for us but we shall see 😬

[@undone8103]

Toyota built an overlord . A truck should be a tool that follows the commands of the operator.

[@genejustpicksomething]

I have had my 2024 limited for about 2000 miles and love it. Everything is better, accept it’s hard for me to read the ac controls buttons to because I have bad eyes. Haha.. I have owned three tundras of the two older generations (2005, 2006, and 2018). I was surprised that I actually enjoy driving this more. None of the issues that various videos discuss. Actually, there is one thing. No tow points. Then I thought about it. I’ve had three Jeeps and never used my front tow hooks so hopefully it won’t be an issue.

[@overlandtundras]

I agree we move this truck. Still have my 2015 but enjoy driving the 22. I’m sure the new tundras will just get better and better !

[@charlieingrasci8353]

YOU NEED TO GO BUY YOURSELF A FORD AND SEE SOME REAL ISSUES , YOUR NOT A TOYOTA GUY

[@overlandtundras]

Hahah you are not lion! We love Toyotas tho!

[@Chacha12355]

I have a 2023 tundra platinum. I don’t have no issues whatsoever so far I have 7000 miles on it. I’ve changed the oil twice myself the first time I found some Debris in the oil pan,. I cut open the oil filter and Harley didn’t find nothing in there. Just a few specs but what came out of the oil pan was small small pieces and it was more than I’d like to see. I’ve been a mechanic for 50 years and I rent a fleet of vehicles semi vans, pick ups and others. so finding a little more than I would like in the oil pan kind of bothered me so I changed the oil again. 6600 miles found no debris in pan or the oil filter. I bought the extended warranty with my truck 10 years or 100,000 miles. Why I did it because these turbo engines and these tundras have only been out for two years so for peace of mind I did it also I broke in my engine The way I always do for the first 500 miles. I would drive it at 55 miles an hour 60 miles an hour 65 miles an hour and 75 miles an hour for short distances and then stay at 55. I did that for the first 500 miles I’m gonna be changing my oil every 5000 miles I think 10,000 miles is too long but I am very happy with the truck so far and All new vehicles nowadays have issues i have a friend that bought a GMC truck and his engine has already been torn apart with 2000 miles on it. They change the lifters the valves because it had a ticking noise put it all back together and it still has a noise so they all have issues. He’s very frustrated with this truck, so we just have to deal with it as we go but thank God that Toyota is putting all new engines in these tundras I don’t know what the warranty is going to be. I don’t know if they’re going to turn back the speedometer to zero because it’s gonna be confusing, if they don’t anyway, good luck😊

[@Chacha12355]

Oh, I forgot to say I don’t have no issues with my cameras. They work perfectly right on the money in the middle of the lines. Maybe you need to have yours recalibrated

[@overlandtundras]

You are complete right about everything. We still love the truck and about to go in for an oil change and see what they say about the motor recall since this one falls under the motor replacement.

[@cdstoudemire]

use the CARISTA OBD Scan Tool to turn off the seat belt chime.

[@overlandtundras]

Thanks I will def do that!!!

[@davidglover3380]

My #1 hate is the app or key start up and when you open the door the freaking engine turns off how stupid!!!

[@overlandtundras]

Dannng I missed that one. I hate that as well it’s so stupid

[@nicholasburton6847]

Its to prevent someone from being able to hop in and drive away with your truck when you use remote start.

[@marcusrudd6790]

I’m sure you have checked this but on my 2023 the lane centering gets turned off somehow every time the dealership does service I have to manually turn it back on

[@overlandtundras]

I think they do an update everytime you take it in and that’s why that happens. I keep mine off all the time. I hate the beeping

[@808revenge7]

@@overlandtundras for the lane thing ( i also hated it, almost got me into an accident) Hold the Lane button for a few seconds and it should turn off.

[@loudandclearmedia]

The not moving with the door open thing would be a deal breaker for me, for the reasons you describe. I mean, I understand the design decision and where Toyota is coming from on it, but from my perspective as someone who has been in that situation before and solved it by pinning the throttle...yikes.

[@overlandtundras]

Yea that was a tough one for me to swallow but we really love the truck!

[@tylerbaker555]

Did your ever talk to the dealer about the harsh highway downshift? I think it’s normal but haven’t been in for 10k service yet

[@overlandtundras]

Do you have them as well? I’m going to the dealership this week I’ll keep you posted.

[@tylerbaker555]

@@overlandtundras yes I do. Not all the time. Definitely worse on colder days but only happens if I hammer down from a cruising speed and then press throttle quickly like 90%. My thought is the torque converter unlocks and then has to drop a couple gears all in a matter of seconds, causing the clunk. Please keep me updated!

[@overlandtundras]

@@tylerbaker555 yup that’s it. Like mentioned I think it’s something electronic from shifting from gear 10 to 4th

[@tylerbaker555]

@@overlandtundras hey, did the dealership give you any feedback on the harsh downshift? I’ve determined mine only seems to happen within the first 20-30 minutes of driving on cold days. 32 and lower.

I just got 2024 Tundra wind noise is a lot louder than my 07 how is your wind noise

[@overlandtundras]

Thankfully mine is quiet but I have friends that are very loud.

[@TheATOMKOW]

What about the trying to get in to the back with the tailgate down so annoying. And the truck is so light that when you’re in deep muddy ruts the truck bounces back and forth so hard like that chick dancing with those dudes on that Roxbury movie even with a lift, rims and 35” tires. And that damn interior light fuse that keeps blowing. And the black trim on the rear passenger door caught on the front door and broke luckily the dealership replaced it under warranty but tried to make us pay for the glue. Lmbo

[@overlandtundras]

Hahah there is a lot of little things. I haven’t had the blown fuse but that sounds really annoying.

[@davidglover3380]

#9 is your truck. Mine is right on... I'd have service check it out

[@overlandtundras]

Will do!

[@davidglover3380]

The lag is crazy I have been telling my service guy about it They don't care and it drives me insane. It scares the crap out of me when you pull out and a car is coming and it takes 3 seconds to take off

[@overlandtundras]

Ok good so it’s just not me.

[@Papolucho702]

TRD Jon has reported this too on both Tundras he’s had

[@overlandtundras]

Yea it’s stupid frustrating but I guess we still like the truck haha

Mine has that, when I don't come to a complete stop. Sport mode really helps

Soo found out that you can remove that in settings. I think it was an update on the ecu cause I didn’t see it there before and now it’s there after it’s been to the dealer and had the ecu flashed for new updates

That’s right! Good eye

[@drmichaellum]

I do not own a Tundra, but have had several Toyotas and was excited about this generation Tundra TRD Pro until I started hearing about all the design issues. Here are issues that are turning me off to the Tundra. The i-Force Max has its battery under the rear passenger seat, negating any storage that most other trucks have there. Low wattage truck bed outlet. The F-150s have generator capability and higher output power receptacles. The remotely started engine shuts off the moment you open the door; what the heck? I can overlook the lack of tow hooks, and low hanging front bumper edges, because I can add aftermarket ones, but Toyota, don't you realize this is a truck? Poor fit and finish with seat trim, rear door trim, window insulation, rattling door trim, rattling center console (I believe they remedied this with a redesign). I am now considering the upcoming Ramcharger or F-150 with redesigned "Pro Acess" tailgate. P.S. The issue with the inability to drive with the door ajar is a huge concern, poor interior lighting is another. Just too many misses with this generation Tundra. Too bad.

[@overlandtundras]

Def hit some very important topics! We still have ours and continue to use it for research purposes lol. We do really like the truck and have been fortunate enough not to have as many issues as others!

[@shwugyytcodm]

The whole can’t drive with the door open thing is the most dangerous feature iv ever seen I’ll literally never buy that truck I’ll put motors and trans in my 2016 TRD pro SR5 all day

[@overlandtundras]

Yea I really don’t like that part.

[@davidglover3380]

Overall I love the Tundra

[@overlandtundras]

I there with you!

[@ronsteitz4535]

I can’t name how many times, Why I hate the New Tundra😬 It will never be the Quality of the Gen 2🤨 Take a test drive is all that I needed to decide. Too many buyers are telling themselves 🤔It’s growing on me. Wrong Attitude and Reason for spending 65-85 thousand for a truck. Wait about 5 yrs after owning this truck and see the Cons and Pros. So far everyone is trading off the Gen 3 Tundra before Warranty period has ran out.🤔

[@overlandtundras]

Yea i can def see what you are talking about. Going into it I knew there were going to be issues. Luckily I haven’t had major ones like other friends but we will see long term how she does !!!

[@davidglover3380]

Lane centering is way to corrective

[@overlandtundras]

100%

[@shwugyytcodm]

I watched more I hope you didn’t sell your 2015!

[@overlandtundras]

No I love my 2015. She’s a tank

[@Dirthawking]

I had no idea about the inability to drive forward with the door open. I've backed up with the door open but haven't tried forward yet 🫠

[@overlandtundras]

Yea its interesting they did that.

[@project-LEXUS-BMW]

This is not just little enjoying things some of this things are just dmnnn awful ,no tundra for me

[@overlandtundras]

Yea for some people it’s a big NO! Overall we still like it. We will see how it does after 3-5 years

[@smokeylake6732]

Go buy a Ford dude. 😊

[@overlandtundras]

Hahah right! We still love this truck

[@xspower21]

Im suprised it's only 10..this truck is a complete con job and went backwards in almost every major area. Toyota should apologize for this embarrassment

[@overlandtundras]

It’s definitely not a truck for everyone.

[@mjuberian]

The 22+ Tundras are absolute garbage.

[@overlandtundras]

It has its pros and cons but we will love the truck. I’m sure newer models will get better and better.
