2022 Toyota Tundra | Hybrid Better Than Old V8?

We drive the new 2022 Toyota Tundra iForce Max Hybrid to determine if this is a legit replacement for the old V8. We discuss the pros and cons and all of the technical detail of how the truck works. These big changes to the engine and platform make it closer to the new Land Cruiser in terms of design. Would you choose this over the Ford F150, RAM 1500 and, Chevy Silverado.

As someone who is 6'9", this Tundra was the ideal choice for cabin size being accommodating to my size while still having room for others. I got my 1794 edition Saturday, and drove 4 passengers around incredibly comfortably, even with my seat all the way back. Also nice on my trim level was a knee back extender, that although it doesnt quite hit my knees, it definitely would for someone shorther than myself.

A year ago I got a '16 RAV4 hybrid used. While it's ultimately a boring SUV for errands and commuting, I do love the instant torque off the line, although it runs out of steam pretty quick. It's basically FWD, the rears are a separate electric motor with pitiful power, only really good for low speed launch or slippage. It also uses a nickel hydride battery, but the EV mode doesn't have any real speed or range. I really wanted a RAV4 prime but since I will be living in an apartment with no charger, I'm glad this hybrid tech is going into larger vehicles. Here's hoping for a highlander or 4runner with some serious power/torque and fuel efficiency.

I don’t like that Toyota only allows people to option the hybrid in the upper trim levels. I’m sure there’s plenty of people who would like more torque for towing, but don’t want a “luxury” truck. They also dropped the ball by not matching ford with a better onboard power system with their hybrid. 400W max. I think even their minivan has 1500W? And I’m beating a dead horse, but I still can’t get over the fact they finally gave people a locking diff but took away recovery hooks. Amongst some other issues, like not offering front bench seats or making the cab smaller, it just goes to show the truck was an afterthought when they designed this land cruiser platform.

Toyota and Lexus are very intelligent. They let their whole lineup get ALMOST to the point where they look so outdated that people start to second guess buying them. Then they use all the data and info over the past years of what has worked and hasn't worked for the other manufacturers and use that information to redesign their vehicles. It is definitely a winning strategy in my book. As a consumer, I never feel like if I buy a new toyota or lexus vehicle, then it will be outdated looking in a year or two because they've released 15 new models and redesigns like some other car manufacturers (**cough** KIA\Hyundai). I just can't afford to upgrade that fast. When I buy a new vehicle, I want it to look new (as in not look like an older model) as long as possible. Otherwise I would just buy used. I just REALLY hope that Toyota doesn't look at Kia\Hyundai's success and start adopting these rapid refreshes edesigns.

A detail I can't get over (and is a growing trend among a lot of automakers, unfortunately) is the exposed painted metal of the interior window frames on the doors. The lack of trim on these used to be common on and a signifier of the cheapest cars available, for good reason. Most automakers covered this up, even as pedestrian as Honda and Toyota. Now, it's common on $40K, $50K, $60K vehicles to not cover this part of the door frame. It is an obvious cheapening and cost cutting that just looks bad. They will spend more money on wood inlays and fancy stitching on the dash, but not put a basic rubber or plastic moulding to cover exposed painted metal on the interior. I don't get it. It may be nitpicking, but Mark's comment on how the wood inlay meets the edge is equally as nit-picky. Maybe this will be the next trend in vinyl wraps; covering window frame metal LOL.

Huh. I can barely see the paint in the creases of the door on my 2000 4Runner. But then the 2016 4Runner my mom has you can see the paint while sitting in the back seat. It's a grey car with a black interior so to be honest it's not that noticeable. But I will stare at and think why can I see that and also how thick the pillars are in modern cars. That car feels liek a tank everything is so bulky.

[@dieseldouche7735]

Every vehicle I've ever been in has not had those metal window frames covered, this includes a lexus and a bmw. Oddly enough the 2018 camry has them covered, I think it's more unusual to have them covered but a good thing when they are.

[@evac311]

I never noticed it until I started watching a lot of videos where the camera angle shows it.

[@tjsullivan4793]

Great review. I am wondering how this compares to the Ram 1500 in overall ride quality? The 1500 seems to be the benchmark for ride quality.

[@messijr5145]

I'd bet the toyota outlasts the ram. I still see tons of early 2000's toyota's in socal

I certainly like this truck, and that high end version is pretty with an eye-watering price. I bought a 2021 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel late last year, though, and am 100% happy with that truck even with the recent inexplicable rise in diesel fuel prices.

Give it time. It’s a Chrysler /Stellantis product.

@@Justin-lc1xz lol you're not entirely wrong.

I got a powerboost f150, the hybridization seems very similar. There was initially some funkyness with the trans shifting into third initially but after 1k miles it kind of just went away. I assume the shift tables needed time to calibrate. Anyways this toyota seems decent, F150 definitely has better details and refinement in terms of WORK stuff. Toyota looks like it has better attention to detail though. Ford just leaves random zipties and shit from manufacturing all over the truck and is just like ok here you go bud. But overall I think the f150 is winning right now, you can't deny the billions that ford put into it.

Amazing how hard it seems to get screens right. They're all either too small, too big, not intuitive, has too many functions like HVAC, etc. Though I get it; the look is "aesthetically pleasing" to keep it symmetrical and not tilt it towards the driver.

[@JoeytheGrape]

I really, really like the Audis and a few other luxury vehicles that have "screens go away now" folding buttons or whatever. Another failure point long term, but sure makes the interior better when the screens arent required.

[@attananightshadow]

none of the screens look aesthetically pleasing, every single vehicle interior with a screen will be dated by that screen. quality switch gear/knobs/dials will always be superior in use to a touch screen for functions like HVAC.

[@Channel-gz9hm]

I don't understand why the giant tablet in the center has to be symmetrical and face directly forward. For who? I'm the driver. I'm the one who needs to interact with it and see it. I want some cars to copy the "fighter jet cockpit" motif/style that cars like the Lincoln Mark series perfected. Everything tilted, catered to, and directed towards the driver for his comfort and convenience.

[@jonahjett278]

I agree with everybody. Of our 2 cars, 1 is new and has a screen, the other is old and does not have one. I don't feel like I'm missing anything by not having a screen, other than the 'convenience' of android auto

[@zephead843]

I think a slight tilt towards the driver looks cool. But yeah, I get it.
