Amazing experience getting to drive your 22 TRD pro brother! Thank you for such a great video friend! Can't wait to create more content with our trucks!

My favorite tundra video by far! I’m in the market for a TRD Pro and I’m leaning towards the 2021, can’t go wrong with the simplicity and huge cab and the amazing durable and reliable V8. Both trucks are beautiful though, love me a Toyota!

[@Smitty_76]

Very good review guys. One thing I'd like to point out is that while other commentors spoke of the V8's reliability, I don't think anyone mentioned longevity. The V8 regularly goes over 300K miles. Many people buy Toyota with the intention of keeping it a long time. I'm currently driving a 2008 Tundra 5.7L with 160,000 miles. I'd like to know what the lifespan is on the hybrid batteries and what it would cost to replace them. Overall great review on both trucks.

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Very good point! The V8 has proven itself to reach 300k miles or more consistently. This being a new powertrain, that has yet to be seen. My confidence in Toyota there and the closest resemblance in its potential would be the Prius (which I own). Prius are known to hit 300k miles easily as well and even some million mile Prius out there also. Batteries can be replaced but the motor's Toyota engineers develop are designed to remain consistent with their brand and reputation. I can't say the same for the Supra and its BMW motor though lol

[@pawg206]

You don’t have to opt for the hybrid

[@anthony90745]

The old one actually looks really good. More muscular. Plus it’s a V8. What’s troubling is that the new 2022 was taken of the list of reliability consumer magazine.

[@TristanGrimaldo]

The previous generation is definitely a great looking truck! For the 2022 reliability, every vehicle will have their issues initially. Even the previous generation tundra had its issues early on. Time will tell to see how reliable or unreliable the new generation is. I have no intent of getting rid of my truck so I can be the test subject lol

[@shift6131]

Thank you for this comparison. It’s good to see actual Tundra owners prospective. One thing I would like to add is the price delta of $15k more for the 2022 Tundra PRO vs 2021 PRO. That on MSRP, not counting crazy markups

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Thank you! 🙏. The 2022 TRD pro definitely comes at a higher price point excluding all the mark ups and dealer add-ons. But personally, I do see why. The 2022 Tundra’s technology & features surpasses the previous generation. But that’s what also makes the previous generation amazing. It’s simplicity 🙂.

It's a tough one but you guys did a great job pointing the good and the bad. Honest opinion all around. As you mentioned, interior space and the V8 is something that's hard to step away from. By the way, beautiful TRD Pro!!! the only trim that looks on the re-design!

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

I am actually surprised how visually you can tell the new truck is smaller. As a former Ecoboost owner who had the turbos go out on me in the middle of Oklahoma with a trailer I had to abandon so I could limp mode it 2 1/2 hours at 30 mph to the nearest Ford dealership and spend $6,000 to fix…naturally aspirerated motors only for me.

[@TristanGrimaldo]

The truck is definitely smaller. Actually didn’t pay much attention to it on the video till you pointed it out. In person, the difference wasn’t as significant as it appears on the video lol. I too previously owned an EcoBoost so I can relate 🤣

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

Wow that's like the worst moment for it to happen, but it makes sense as towing is a high load scenario that would stress the engine. Now that the new Mustang and Super Duty are out we can at least say that the new 6.8L V8 will very likely never be used in anything else than the HD trucks. A shame because that motor is brilliant but it will get worse fuel economy than the 5.0 so that's the reason. It has better outputs though with 405 hp (vs 400) and 445 lb-ft (vs 410) of torque. Ford chose that design for maximum realistic reliability while still delivering fuel economy (to make it even more reliable you'd have to remove EFI and make it fully mechanical with that simple PFI OHV engine, which kills fuel economy and outputs). F-250 is a big step up from F-150 so this is gonna be dicey.

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 If I was to buy a F-250 I would only get the 7.3L V8. The diesel is over kill and extremely pricey to buy and to maintain. The 6.8L V8 to me is a waste. What's the point when it is many ways almost as good as the 7.3 but isn't as good. Either way the 7.3L V8 Godzilla is an incredible motor so far.

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

@@TristanGrimaldo Ford does a terrible job letting you know what is required to own a twin turbo motor. I hope Toyota is doing a better job. First, they don't tell you that you have to do a TDI service every 30-40k (turbo direct injection) to clean out the built up carbon. If you don't do that it can kill your motor over time. Second, you have to change out the barrings every 80,000 miles and they are not cheap. It was around $600 on that F-150 I owned. Third, if you do a lot of towing your turbos will wear out prematurely. I got to 153,000'ish miles when they blew and that was it. All said and done I don't think I got any better gas, and infact I got worse mpg towing. Averaged around 7.5-9.5 mpg. Just awful.

The way I see it got to move with the times.How close was the 0 to 60 sprint with the tow haul mode on compared to your truck? You said it felt similar on the video but how much similar? I havn’t drove a 2022 yet. I never cared about top speed but what counts for me is from a dead stop 0-60 zip. I wish the 2022 had the same hight as the 2020 if not maybe a little higher but other than that,that’s a perfect truck for me.👍🏼💪🏼Albert from the Los Angeles area

[@TristanGrimaldo]

@@Albert-777 Hey Albert! I’m a regular in LA and Cali. Have family there and in the Bay Area. To answer your question, when Edgar had me press the tow haul mode button, the throttle felt more sensitive and responsive. It also seemed to hold the gear longer. But you also saw Edgar’s reaction to driving my TRD Pro. Crazy thing is it wasn’t even in sport mode which I guess would be equivalent to that tow haul mode button. I tried a 0-60 run with an app and if I remember correctly it put up 6.3 seconds? Overall, you will love the I-Force Max. I have not met someone who has said anything about the driving experience of the I-Force Max. Toyota honestly did a great job using the electric motor to fill in the dips in the power and torque curve. Puts a smile on my face every time.

As far as longevity with the newer Gen truck it’s not if the turbos go out it’s when. I don’t care who makes it, at some point it’s going to be an expensive fix. But I did sit in the new Gen truck at the dealer when I bought my 21 Tundra Voodoo in Bourne TX. It was the highest trim level called Capstone. Man I’ll tell you it’s the most amazing interior I’ve ever sat inside. Hopefully Toyota brings back a smaller V8. My 2021 Tundra will be on the road for years.

The powertrain has been used in Japan for quite sometime even before releasing it to us in the states. I agree with your concerns but only time will tell. I expected the same from my F150 ecoboost but that thing was around 150k miles maybe before I sold it and never had issues with the turbo 🙂.

This is what every gen 3 naysayer needs to do, actually test drive the truck. I cant speak for the the non hybrid, but my 22 TRD PRO smokes my 16 and 17 TRD PRO. They do have the V8 sound/rumble, I can not deny on the outside the V8 does sound better. That and the better turning radius on the older gen, everything else on the 22 I like better. Good on you for letting somone test drive it, I think he was open minded and honest too. My neibours relatives were over their house on Thanksgiving he had a 22 limited with TRD package non hybrid. I tired to get him to test it but he said no I'm good its the same truck. I was like not really man, but he just wouldnt take the offer. Im sure there is a pretty significant difference hybrid vs non hybrid that he would have noticed, and the suspension.

Both trucks are great in their own way and at the end of the day, they’re both Toyota 💪🏼

[@JohnnyP636]

@@TristanGrimaldo Yes I appreciate an honest review! Just tired of hearing so much bad feedback from gen2 owners that haven't even sat in a 22, let alone test drive one. And to be clear when I said "smokes" my 2017 or any of the 4 gen2's I've owned. I don't only mean power and drivetrain. I'ts more then that, personally after having the 22 for 2 months now, going back to my 17 the seats felt really flat, hard, and uncomfortable. Power was less, but my 17 also has 125K KM on it. And just overall the electronics can't compare, the 14" screen, the 360 camera system, how it turns into EV only while parking, moon roof, etc etc. Its just got so much new tech in it, that Im loving. Granted a 21 probably has a little more then my 17, but not enough for me to want a 5th Gen2 21 over a new Gen3 22. And I understand we can't really compare reliabailty yet, but my gen 2's weren't all perfect either. My first Tundra in 2008 had some engine sernsors go bad at very low milage, had to wait 2 months for backorderd parts but had it fixed under warrenty. And my 2012 again from almost new siezd the steering rack up, again coverered under warrenty. So we will see I only have 2600 KM on my 2022 currently, but I have faith in Toyota that they will take care of any potential problems.

It’s too early to tell exactly how reliable it is, but many seem to forget that Toyota built their brand and company on quality and reliability.

[@franciscocruz6726]

So I have a 2006 Lancer Evolution 9 (KZbin it if you don't know the car) and it is a beast that makes power. I also had an 2002 S2000 with maybe 200whp. I enjoyed driving the S2000 more because it was more of a purest car than the Evolution 9 which focused on blowing through the 1/4 mile as fast as possible. I find these two trucks in a similar predicament where the 2nd gen is more of a Truck like vehicle while the newer gen is more of an up to date/modern car.

Thank you Javier!

[@Free_entertainment401]

I have a super white 2021 TRD pro, I love the V8 and I get around 14-15mpg. I do wish I have parking sensors and blindside sensors. My 2018 Tacoma TRD off-road with the technology package have everything. An yes I had the longer bed. Wish my tundra TRD pro have the option of a longer bed .

[@TristanGrimaldo]

You have a great truck. Seeing Edgar’s truck in person made me appreciate that v8 and it’s simplicity. Your truck will be worth a lot in the long run. Definitely a keeper in my opinion 👍

[@user-in4uf7to5d]

The sound of the V6 is so funny 😂😂😂

[@jameshuntercox]

Getting my 22 tundra, going to add rear bumper eventually for getting in/out and front tow hooks. Was going to see if mentioned and it was, the head room of the new truck. How is the visibility looking out?

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Hey James! Congrats on your upcoming 2022 Tundra. The visibility in my opinion is a slightly narrower in my opinion. Not sure if it's because of the cabin or head room, but many who have rode shotgun have mentioned something about it. It isn't bad and its acceptable. Honestly, maybe even the bulge from the hood scoop of the 2020 TRD PRO was a little more bothersome. I guess I am not used to it but I found myself constantly staring at the bulge lol

[@jameshuntercox]

@@TristanGrimaldo Thanks Tristan! Liked noticeable but acceptable, keep on uploading!

[@sharpie132]

I would rather spend my money on a previous tundra and throw a 7k supercharger at it to make up for that torque 💪 💪 💪

[@TristanGrimaldo]

That would be a truck I personally would want to own also lol

[@edwinlainez9339]

I just went to the dealer like 2 weeks ago to buy a new tundra 2022 and to be honest i decide to get a 2021 tundra lunar rock instead of a 2022 cause the 2022 feels more fake on other words to much plastic.and now i lift 4 inches and put new tires and rims and omg looks amazing

[@TristanGrimaldo]

There is definitely more plastic than I would want in the interior, but nothing that truly bothers me. Congrats on your purchase!

[@pureacoustic104]

Agree, 2022 tundra way smaller inside. the only pros is the MPG, steering and suspension, super smooth. 20 mpg on highway.

[@kidamere2408]

get 19 in my wifes 21 there only about 1 mpg better all around

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Aside from the smaller interior cabin, there are just so many things I love about my truck and you pointed out some key features 👍

[@threadoflife]

What about options besides the pano moon roof doesn’t the new one have heated and ventilated front and rear seats?

[@TristanGrimaldo]

The front seats definitely. The rear seats unfortunately not. I actually had no say in the spec or build of my truck. It was like “here you go. If you don’t take it your wait might extend to a year lol”

[@abc123lov7]

I feel Toyota always steps up. Not down. Except for the supra. They fuct up there. Lol. Nice trucks good video. Can't wait to get on next year!!

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Thank you! You’ll love your Tundra. Edgar was all smiles and open minded to owning one says a lot. And I 100% agree with you there. Toyota never settles and strives for continuous improvement. As a purist, I wish Toyota would have brought back an updated version of the 2JZ or have their engineers develop their own motor in house.

[@Captndarty]

I have a 20 TRD Pro with a Harrop supercharger. I tested a 22. Love the exterior look hated how it drove and how I felt inside. Significantly smaller and tighter. The center consul is cheap, rattles and doesn’t give you enough padded elbow support.The windshield site line is much lower and the hood is longer. Felt exactly like a cramped Tacoma but just a little bit bigger. I could definitely tell a tiny bit of turbo lag and peaky surging compared to the 5.7. I have more horsepower and more torque than the new model, however the 6 speed sucks for towing, especially on the interstate. I have heard from many credible and renowned reviewers that the fit and finish and quality control is sub par compared to the outgoing model.

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Your 20 TRD pro sounds like a beast! I’m sure it sounds great also. Did you drive the iforce or iforce max? Haven’t drove the iforce but I have zero complaints about my hybrid motor honestly. Driven some very powerful vehicles in the past and for a truck, personally impressed with it.

[@Captndarty]

@@TristanGrimaldo it does sound great. It is a little annoying when towing a trailer on the highway and the sound reverberates back in the cab. it was just the ifocre bit the hybrid. I’m sure it drives much better off the line. I’ve heard great things about the 10 speed as well. Everything that I have heard about quality control issues is another big concern for me.

[@Captndarty]

@Tristan Grimaldo Edit: I just tried a Capstone. Liked it but didn’t “love” it. Just feels so different and I was noticing all of the QC flaws I’ve been reading about. Particularly a whistling, wind noise. Off the line that had a lot of pool. But midway in the power band I didn’t seem to notice the torque of the electric motor is much. Definitely hunted for gears. more than my 6 speed. Although I’m sure 10 speed is much better for towing. In a perfect world the new body style and 10 speed transmission with my blown 550/550 motor. That would be a unicorn.

[@LancerNik13]

V8 powa towing is where youll see a difference as well.

[@cmburns2606]

The ‘22 blown up yet?

[@Wicho4414]

It took me an entire year thinking about trading in my 2020 Tundra. Last month I got a 2022 Tundra 1794 and I love it, only thing is the brake noise and wind noise on a door. Other than that, the 2022 truck is way better…

[@TristanGrimaldo]

That’s awesome!! Congratulations and glad you’re enjoying your truck!

[@JamesMcGinn14]

What phone mount is that in the Gen 2?

[@TristanGrimaldo]

I’ll get Edgar to chime in on this haha

[@equimbo]

Hi Tristan... what's the name of the color of your wrap?

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Hello there. The color is not a wrap. It’s actually OEM from Toyota. It’s called Lunar Rock 👍

[@equimbo]

@@TristanGrimaldo sweet… i have a solar octane I’m waiting on, but I’m likely gonna wrap it. Too loud for me, thanks for the video!

[@cliffsilverman8344]

The old gen is a better looking truck. Toyota should have offered a v8 with A 10speed trans

[@TristanGrimaldo]

The previous gen tundra is definitely a great looking truck!

[@chichenlo1663]

Toyota should've made a 100% Electric Tundra now that would be sick (maybe in 2030). I am a 2015 v8 crewmax owner, I love my simple v8 n/a and how big the older model is. I will always have the option to turbo it or supercharge it myself. V6 turbo is ok but they should've made a electric tundra to compete with the cyber truck and pushed it to the next level. All tundras are great however!! Thanks for sharing this!!

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Thank you for your feed back! Very interesting perspective.

[@tonkattundra3781]

My TRD '10 has the handle. Wonder why not that one

[@TristanGrimaldo]

I believe they removed that handle in the 2020 Tundra. It’s a very useful feature that helps you get in and out of your truck easier

[@LoganKelly-rs6lb]

Did you guys or anyone notice if the new Tundra 2022 was longer than the older version?

[@TristanGrimaldo]

I did not. But based on what we saw it seems like the older one is definitely bigger

[@dominickmamone6196]

2020 looks like a monster! 2022 lost some weight!

[@TristanGrimaldo]

In person, you don’t see to much of a size difference. In the video, damn I didn’t realize how much smaller it is. My truck looks like a Tacoma next to his TRD Pro lol

[@donrussell7951]

Add supercharger to the V8 and really get the wow factor. I know it’s costly. But the mark ups on the new tundra Pro is crazy.

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Man I would love to ride in a supercharged V8 Tundra. Only seen videos of them but seems like a lot of fun! And yes mark ups on the TRD pro are horrible. Much worse actually now than when I bought my truck

[@MrAllan875]

Doesn’t the supercharger affect reliability

[@donrussell7951]

@@MrAllan875 I have not read up on the forum with anyone really having any issues with the supercharger. Maybe someone who has had one on there tundra will jump in.

[@TristanGrimaldo]

@@MrAllan875 My only experience with superchargers are with the S2000 world. Arguably more reliable and easy to maintain. Turbo set ups seem to have more issues. When I get to my s2000 build Im definitely going with a supercharger. A supercharged v8 tundra would be a beast of a truck. Probably sounds awesome too

[@jmd11185]

The cabin is probably smaller because of that long hood

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Could be!

[@STILLPHENOM]

If the V8 had 10 speed that would have been the best. love the v8 but also love the new dash and infotainment system. So its hard to chose right now.

Truck swap? Will this be on the hub?

[@davidnguyen1216]

I just traded my 19 tacoma trd pro in for the 19 trd pro tundra. The v8 hands down tows better & the growl of three v8 = smiles per gallon. I do miss my tacoma since i bought it brand new but a used tundra with bulletproof powertrain i won't trade . Also i offroad a ton since i actually use my Toyotas for what they're intended for no mall crawling here 17:06 17:08

[@TristanGrimaldo]

I think the older one has only one sway bar on the back. The new one has front and back.

[@TristanGrimaldo]

I think you’re right. But overall, we both noticed the newer gen definitely handles better. But comfort is similar

[@cm07ca]

I love love!!! The old tundra but one things that bothers me to the core and I can’t get I over is that the back doors are way way!!! to big (long) old engine is unmatched and will out last the new (i think) but I’m getting the new one just because of the old tundra door a just way to big In my opinion and I just can’t get over it… I tried and tried!!! but I can’t get over it

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Now that you mention it didn’t realize just how long the rear doors are! They don’t look bad but yes they are long lol.

[@nguyenhuynh9806]

I like v8 bertter

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Many do 👍

[@thruiner]

I chose to stay with the 2nd Gen Tundra due to a long history of reliability. The New tundra doesn’t have enough history yet to know if it’s reliable. He definitely didn’t have that 2nd Gen gas pedal pinned to the floor though. They’re no where near that sluggish.

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Definitely a tested and proven truck. It had its rough patches along the way as well but Toyota eventually perfected it. It’s Toyota at the end of the day. Their entire reputation is based on reliability which is why I’m not worried. Yes it’s new, but the power train has been utilized in Japan for awhile now. I’m sure with time this new gen will prove to be just as reliable

[@jeffb4229]

Bro, for many of us Tundra fans, the V6 on 2023 and later, sucks. I don't care about their numbers with twin turbochargers, but diwn the road, those turbochargers are going to cost $$$ when they go out. Plus, lets not forget the stress they put on the engine. Longevity was the Tundras strong suit, but not with a V6 with turbochargers. Those days are gone for Toyota, unless they bring back the V8

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Completely understand. But remember, Toyota has been running this powertrain for some time now in Japan. Only time will how reliable this power trains are, but I’m confident that it’s Toyota who engineered it.

[@TXchadTX]

Lets be real they’re not really even comparable trucks. They’re so different. The reason people are “hating” on the 22 is cuz of the price. It’s hard to justify 30% more $$$$ when you get 3mpg more and a 5” bigger screen. I love the new truck. Just not enough to double my car payment and trade in my 20 trd.

[@TristanGrimaldo]

You make a valid point. I too agree that maybe a lot of the hate may stem from the 2022 Tundra’s price. My situation was different as the last truck I had was an F150. With the previous gen Tundra being such a great truck, I can see why it would be difficult to justify the transition to the new gen. The price for trucks in general have increased tremendously. But yes, both trucks are truck special in their own way and I’ve said it before, the V8 Tundra will increase in price dramatically I am sure. Just a great investment overall.

[@jimchen4755]

Nice video.

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Thank you 👍

[@dr-zr3pu]

The v8 engine is proven to be a reliable engine; the twin turbo v6 won’t be known until at least 5 year minimum. One will hurt your pocket book daily on gas and the other one will probably let you know when maintenance time comes up.

[@TristanGrimaldo]

Definitely valid points. That v8 is tested and proven. I believe Toyota has been running the motor (I-Force Max) for several years already in Japan. Only time will tell but your points are accurate 🙂

[@Wellh0wrya]

From what I hear the v6 is not doing much better on mpg … 1-2 mpg better, very disappointing

weird since the 21 has more legroom by dimension

[@tommyg7047]

I had a ‘21 TRD PRO and now have a ‘22 Platinum. Outside of some small fit and finish issues, this new model is light years ahead of the old one. That said, the new model absolutely needs a lift and 35’s.

[@kidamere2408]

new ones are of course superior in about every aspect the only qyestion will be reliability and well thats gonna take some time to figure out

I think a lift and 35s would do wonders to the stance of my truck. There are a lot of things I love about the previous gen Tundra, but the new gen Tundra has some features that I believe should are a necessity. I imagine taking the best of both trucks and putting it together. Would make the perfect Tundra.
