2022 Toyota Tundra New Engine, Frame and Chassis!

[@josephkraft5640]

Yes I am one of the guys that finds this to play a huge roll in the overall vehicle construction. The engineering is incredibly important and I find it interesting. It speaks volumes to display this and show how well it was designed and built. I will probably buy one and not because of how it looks but how well it was engineered.

[@zefrum3]

Yes I enjoyed this; Im also glad Toyota stoped the Gaslighting with “triple tech” and just went fully boxes. I mean c’mon, i want my suspension to flex, not my frame

[@alexmills1329]

That frame flez can make up for a lack of travel in the same packaging compared to a fully rigid one, I’d rather have flex than totally stiff and worrying about when it does start to give aka deform

[@MrCherrygrovedude]

You have to have frame flex in any design. Even boxed frames have to flex.

[@alexmills1329]

@@MrCherrygrovedude going by manufacturers claims boxed frames are an order of magnitude stiffer than open C frames, at the low end to around 20x more stiff. Will they have some flex yes, but is it an appreciable amount, well not really, you’re talking at most 10% of the amount of flex, that’s great for dialing in suspension and reducing variables in spring rates and motion but not everything. That kind of frame will deform more easily due to how rigid it is when taking on shock loading or other high stress events

[@MrCherrygrovedude]

@@alexmills1329 the Toyota engineer said by going coil spring rear suspension, they could also go boxed frame because the ride quality won't suffer as much. For example, Ford's boxed frame/leaf spring combo rides a lot rougher than Ram's boxed frame/coil spring combo. If the frame didn't flex, it would crack and break. Frame flex is a major part of ride quality and overall handling.

[@MrCherrygrovedude]

@@alexmills1329 and toyota never had any issue with the Triple Tech frames besides early rust issue but nothing else. They are plenty strong for a half ton truck.

[@channelnamehere4065]

Your commentary is spot on. Toyota doesn't go for best numbers but it's underneath the skin that Toyota owners have always appreciated about Toyota vehicles.

[@joeblack1052]

Landcruiser frame Enough said Landcruisers are designed not to break American Toyota owners should be happy This is an upgrade in this truck of epic proportions More than skin deep

[@ronhayes832]

Half ton trucks run out of payload long before they max out tow capacity. It appears Toyota is making a stronger truck but not increasing the payload numbers.

[@desjarr]

Big Truck Big RV is my go to channel for Tundra and towing information. Thank you!

[@nomaam9797]

This fair judgment make this the Best channel on KZbin !!!! You bring up what nobody else does !!! Respect!!!

[@DeePunter]

this is very informative compare to other channels on the tundra. thank you!

[@snomass1]

TFL and your channel are the best.

[@BoomBoomSoon]

Max torque at 2400 rpm’s! Way better than having to rev the piss out of a V8 on steep grades.

[@vandersnickmcduffle7333]

Yup! I own a Ford 3.5L ecoboost and a twin turbo V6 will out tow most V8s all day long. And I don't mean they can pull more weight, I mean they can pull the weight in a cool, calm, and collected manner. Some people think they have/will have longevity issues, but my last truck went 200k without major issues, traded it in on this one and i've got 120 on this one and it has only received general maintenance. Never going back to a V8 unless it's an HD truck with fords new 7.3L. This toyota has the potential of being even better than fords offering.

[@catlinpondel2487]

I have a 2011 Ecoboost. I like pulling/hauling with it. It’s almost diesel like power! I do feel like the hold back going down hills is better with the V8s. I do miss that!!! I wonder if this motor generator will help out with the hold back?

[@AnthonyBarthelCurbside]

Meh. Still rather have a Ram or Ford. Ford did the hybrid absolutely right and Ram has the MDS V8. Either just seems better for what Americans use pickups for, particularly in the towing space.

[@Traineddummy]

2021 F150 V8's have the cylinder deactivation now

[@BoomBoomSoon]

Glad they kept the 10.5” ring gear!

[@channelnamehere4065]

Always appreciated your in-depth knowledge of these things underneath the skin. Most journalists judge on feelings and butt dynos it's often the things you don't see or feel that makes something break or not. I think most Toyota owners know this about their vehicles and have come to expect that from the brand.

[@highpro1394]

Time will tell with the reliability. We will need to give it a few years.

[@nisiunavoce1264]

Ah, good ol' Toyota frames. Tacoma frames used to be kept in stock in the rust belt for extended warranty replacement due to major failure from corrosion. I believe some Tundras had issues as well. Hopefully the full box and improved rust proofing will provide years of service everywhere.

[@BPJac]

Taco and tundra rust issues were due to poor steel from a supplier and was resolved probably 10 years ago.

[@nisiunavoce1264]

@@BPJac I know a service manager of a Toyota dealer and he told me in some cases frames were replaced twice. They used to keep a stack in back. I know several people who had them done. Steel rusting is steel rusting either due to poor compound or treatment. Yes it was some years ago but there are probably many trucks on the roads with bad frames still. Great trucks otherwise. With the new improved design hopefully the roof will fall off before the frame gives up the ghost.

[@BPJac]

@@nisiunavoce1264 yes I know it was an issue, but it has been fixed. Why bring up a problem a manufacturer had 10 years ago as if they never fixed it? It just shows how people have a perception about something, and they never change it.

[@nisiunavoce1264]

@@BPJac well perception is belief before facts. The comment was based on fact. Fact is: Toyota had a major problem which they mostly corrected. Fact is: it was not so long ago as to not linger as a concern. The class action was settled in 2016 for 3 billion. Fact is: Toyota makes excellent and mostly durable vehicles which hold their value quite well. The commentary was specific to the topic discussed in the video followed by an optimistic close. All major manufacturers have had design and production issues and in context is the perfect place to bring those up. I like Toyotas and wouldn't hesitate to recommend a late model to new truck or car to anyone.

[@lns4048]

I love my 22 Limited Plenty of power and the ride of a luxury car Big bed of all my materials It's a great truck!

[@wsmcook]

I'd like to know your opinion of their payload numbers relative to the size of the major components. On paper their is about a 200 pound increase in payload but how does that translate to the feeling you get while it was loaded. (I know you haven't had a chance to look at a "loaded" one yet).

[@sledforpeace]

Looking at one of the early videos they made this month, I saw a door jam sticker showing a 7350 GVWR mesning they upped it from last year’s 7100. But with all the hybride tech the weight went up too…

[@wsmcook]

Yes I seen that too but I also noticed that the rear axle limit was decreased at the same time. I would be more interested in how the new components are in comparison to other makes, and then the relative payloads of the new tundras vs the alternatives with the components in mind.

[@levicharles996]

I always wonder how easy to get to spark plugs, thermostat, does it have remote oil cooler, and the cost to replace a single air bag?

[@thomasdipaolo2349]

My pref is naturally aspirated vs. Turbo or supercharger because of the additional heat, stress and wear it puts on the engine. I cant think of a single instance of a turbocharged engine going a million miles or even hundreds of thousands of miles like naturally aspirated engines have. Ask owners with older Raptors. Time will tell if this changes or if its part of planned obsolescence. Appreciate the info.

[@gregholloway2656]

I’m curious about two things. 1) what’s with the two electric pusher fans on the rad? There’s still a main puller fan. 2) can those turbos be serviced with the cab on? They look very tightly packaged.

[@michaelbezos2969]

What a great, unbias, subjective review. I may have missed it but a review of what this truck is capable of safely, comfortably towing would be much appreciated. Thank you. Excellant content!

[@bigchungus1848]

I am delighted to see a boxed frame in a new truck

[@unholynexus]

Great break down. Fascinating to see it stripped down. Loved your explanation about why they changed. Made sense to me.

[@johnky100]

Although this is an engineering marvel, wish they offered a big v8, something similar to Ford 7.3. I would buy one if they did.

[@chrismarkley1818]

I have owned 2 Tundras and the only reason I’m not running out to get #3 is because I need big tow capacity. When they release a 16 or 20k pound towing monster I will be the first in line with my deposit. I love how beefy everything is which suggests they could go that way… #StillDreamingForABigDiesel Maybe next year. #StickingWithMy2500

[@omargarcia5010]

This is just an incredible work of art !

[@artemusburton4824]

I’m just curious since they did such an awesome job with a robust chassis,axle, differential, etc. why is it? They have the least payload capability than Ford or dodge?

[@channelnamehere4065]

Axle rating. And cost. The Tundra's beefy components are heavier than competition with same or similar axle ratings. The driveshaft alone is probably 50% bigger than competition and the even things like control arms are massive on the Tundra compared to say, a Silverado. Bigger, heavier components on a cost-savings platform like the TNGA-F is good for cost savings, not good for actual usage. Toyota can easily make everything "good enough" like competition to up their numbers game, but that wouldn't be a Toyota thing to do. They instead, overbuilds stuff to last a long time, but because they're gimped by sharing platform with the Land Cruiser for truck duties, that's what we get. They could just easily get a chassis from Hino but I'm not sure if Hino even has anything less than a class 5 available. The bean counters are pushing this segment more than anybody that uses a truck as a truck would really like...

[@mohammednuredin4663]

The only thing i don't like is they took the entire under seat storage for the battery

[@BPJac]

In the current generation there is no storage under the crewmax rear seat either.

[@dynasty2295]

Thanks for the explanation and for showing the chassis. The only thing I like about a v8 is it's ability to perform the same every time. I have an 07 4runner with the 4.7 engine and have made basic mods to it...it pulls hard and has tons of torque. I would love to drive one of these to see how it compares...low end torque, passing power going uphill (Colorado) etc. This may replace the 07 FunRunner if it pulls hard and is reliable. Time will tell.

[@danjackson880]

Are they doing anything about a 3/4 ton or larger?l love what you have shown us and what they're doing.

[@daveweed2765]

Exactly. No 3/4 ton or 1 ton and no diesel. Just a double turbo six banger. Then it looks kind of like an XL version of a fucking Corolla. I like my 2019 Tundra with an 8 foot bed but would rather have a diesel like Dodge did with Cummins. Mayne a Kitty Cat in a Tundra would be nice but instead we get a V6. This Tundra I own will be the last fucking Toyota I will ever own. I have some serious doubts about Toyota's numbers on the highly praised V 6 with twin turbo. Toyota had a chance to capture the market but they ended up fucking the pooch. Wow a soccer mom can go 2 miles at 120 mph from store to store. I guess that is the market in Japan. In this country we need a vehicle capable of hauling weight for long distance. The 2022 Tundra really ain't that truck. Go fast really don't impress me much and if I want to go fast on a track then I will build my own. This shit going fast in a quarter mile with speed limits posted or long stretches with speed limits posted is not a selling point other than for kids. The Buick Grand National was a turbo V6 too. So now Toyota comes out with a twin turbo V 6? 350s, 305s and in rare instances 454s rule dirt tracks and strips. Where are the V6s? They used to be in the NASCAR Busch Cup series. But not the Winston Cup series but NASCAR now seems to be who can wear the prettiest pink dress. Yeah fuck Richrd Petty. Yeah. NASCAR died when Dale did. Now the "sport" is filled with nothing more than a bunch of whiney bitches that think they are athletes and special. So FUCK toyota and FUCK nascar. Both are corporate idiots that don't see the market they want to target. But when you hire idiots then you get what you got. There are several businesses that is thriving right now all be it less than legal. Just sayin'. But honestly "Toy"ota screwed the pooch on this one. I forcast a bunch of fat women and men that can park close to the door of whoever the park so they don't have to walk more than 500 feet. What is the longest bed configuration the got now on their half ton POS? 6 feet at the most?

[@gregtmiller]

I'd buy a Tundra in a minute if they ever produced heavier duty versions. Did they talk about that possibility at all?

[@VietMagic102]

I'm new to RV and towing capabilities just purchased a 2022 GD Reflection should I wait to get the new Tundra to tow it or go with the F250 SD Lariat? please help! my RVs specs below Specs / Features / Packages UVW1 9435 lbs Hitch Weight1 1044 lbs GVWR 11295 lbs

[@TherealBartcephus]

I need someone to talk about gooseneck towing, I wouldn’t be towing my 36’ 3 slide rv but my regular gooseneck utility trailer

[@tuffr2]

That looks like an really long wheelbase. I will be looking at the Tundra with a long wheelbase to tow a travel trailer.

[@markreams3192]

I’ve found that Toyota tends to overbuild their vehicles. That’s probably why the vehicles last so long. What that cutaway frame shows those massive intercoolers for the turbos. The turbos should last the life of the engine. Regular service is essential. On one you tube channel the presenter criticized Toyota for eliminating the V8 because the V6 would have to rev higher and wear out sooner. This is not true! The new truck makes peak torque at 2500 rpm where as the V8 has to go to 4000 rpm to make peak torque. TFL truck has tested the f150 V8 and the eco boost on the Ike gauntlet. The eco boost had lower rpm across the board and seemed more effortless in towing the very heavy loads they do in these trucks. I would expect the Tundra to compare similarly to the outgoing V8. Toyota overbuilds internal engine components in much the same way as the rest of the truck. I believe the major internal components are forged in much the same way as a race engine would be. I see no reason this truck shouldn’t last as long as its predecessor. It will most likely be my next truck. I like that Toyota’s mindset as a company is reliability and longevity!

[@catlinpondel2487]

I saw somewhere that the tundra now gets “lug nut bolts”. Have you heard the reasoning behind that?

[@davidhartwick6696]

Raising and lowering the height using the air suspension is speed dependant. Do you know at what speed it goes back to stock height?

[@davidcox2197]

I would like to see what type oil filter is on the engine now, is it the simple tried and true spin on filter, or is it the 1950's design cannister system? I am hoping for spin on filter.

[@shawnmoshier9947]

Great video. Nice work!

[@jamesg6071]

[@TurkVladimir]

Thanks Great Video

[@johnminichielli8957]

Why did they reduce the real axle capacity?

[@roadglide1142]

There are V8 Toyota Tundras out there with a million plus miles on them! I’ll tell you right now that V6 hybrid crap ain’t gonna do that in this lifetime! For that reason I bought a like new 2021 Platinum Tundra !

[@endofsociety]

Now only if Toyota can keep up with the towing capability and payload capacity of a Ford or ram

[@channelnamehere4065]

What does that even mean? Are you just judging by the numbers? Like that's what makes a truck capable? Those are lawyer numbers. Tundras have excellent reliability baked into those duty cycles.

[@Traineddummy]

The towing and payload numbers have been certified since 2015 by the SAE (Society of Automible Engineers) for all truck manufactures. Its SAE J2807 Tow/payload test. Consisting of 15 different parameters.

[@robertsonfamilyfarm9126]

Great video of the new 2022 Toyota Tundra bones and heart very impressive , my only problem is the price of new vehicle and availability?

[@rwdsm23]

It would have been nice for you to walk around the entire chassis

[@robertboyer5498]

It does look massive. Why exactly isn't it more capable? Are the axles low rated? I would think with that power low down, and that strong of components, it would be almost 3/4 ton rated.

[@desjarr]

Does anyone know where to find the axle ratings? One of the Toyota engineers in a different video stated the hybrid axle was beefier.

[@robertboyer5498]

@@desjarr yeah, so again I don't understand the low capacity. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@wayned3137]

It’s been a year now I think these newer ones have proven that they’ve been running their wheel off with check engine lights since they come out 😂. Maybe another yr or two.

[@MK-zm8vl]

6:24 ....call me cynical... the twin turbo V6 only has to only outlast the warranty period...

[@nategrube352]

Wonder how much that battery weighs, looks like an easy way to increase payload by taking it out. If you could easily delete the hybrid electric crap that would probably free up close to 1,000 lbs by weight reduction if not more. Wonder if the transmission would bolt straight to the engine with the electric motor removed and just need a longer driveshaft.

[@desjarr]

One of the Toyota engineers in a different video stated the battery weighed 110 lbs.

[@beeve65]

Did they say why they put the fuel tank on the other side?

[@DeePunter]

they did in one of those interview with the chief engineer, i think this channel covered it.

[@frenchonion4595]

I really enjoyed this video. You put the other channel's to shame and actually talk about the foundation in detail. I admit i have never been a huge toyota fan mainly because of the looks and sadly the " It aint murican !! " when in actuality the truck is more American made than the big 3. There is no denying they build a stout truck after seeing this. Those component's are beefy. The axle looks to be of the same design as the ford 9 inch too known for strength. Impressive to say the least. The half ton's from the big 3 look like quarter ton's in comparison. If i had the money i would swallow my pride and buy one

[@falconwaver]

Why did Toyota not go with a twin screw if they’re more reliable?

[@Ekimsnegdoh27]

How many quarts of oil for oil change? 6?

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

On my 2010 Tundra with the 4.6L V8 takes 8 quarts of oil. This new one I don't know about.

[@nisiunavoce1264]

Gee, better torque, horsepower, fuel economy and less weight V6 vs a V8 with a cool dual exhaust, heft, thirst, and less power? No contest. Did I mention the nice throaty exhaust note? Let's guess what the sales pitch at your local dealers will be to move old inventory.

[@BipVuongAnCapTheMuaMayBayXao]

[@rickhicks3477]

Go and talk to a mechanic that you trust. Get their opinion. Ford Eco Boost not so good.

[@georgesrisomsak9650]

Ford technician here, absolutely agree. Ignition coil problems, door latch recalls, timing component failures at roughly 100k, coolant leaks on quick connects at turbos and rear of block, requiring cab off repair, and many, many other problems. As a ford owner and lover, and highly certified ford tech, I'll be honest, they are not worth the problems they have, and certainly not the price they charge. Facts.

[@R_Gaming_ZzF]

One sure thing tho... the suspension payload is garbage

[@craigtallman9614]

My tundra will out pull out perform that piece of shit any day I couldn’t handle the weight of my camper without being all over the place and the new tundra has a serious squat issue. You can thank Toyota for its coil over springs. V8 well always have more power, more torque and more lug to pull heavy loads that I V6 will ever dream of. The new tundra is basically a grocery getter church going baby hauler vehicle it’s not meant for the big, gritty heavy, hauling loads that the previous tundra was capable of doing without blinking.

[@huizdeeze1075]

you can't make this style frame rigid,

[@prestondeters5093]

So what I'm hearing is that Toyota finally caught up to what the other American manufacturers have been doing for many years. The old Tundra frame was absolute garbage and that flex being for ride quality is the biggest lie toyota could come up with. Many reviewers even who have driven the new tundra still even say the Ram 1500 has a better ride quality. This Tundra should have come out about 7 or 8 years ago and then it would be truly competitive. The only thing about this truck that is mildly competitive with today's trucks is the engine and transmission. Everything else is just not good enough, especially since they touted this truck as a world beater. Also, that axle might be slightly larger than some manufacturers, but the differential can't even handle the full torque of the engine in 1st gear. They limit rpms in 1st gear. And those rear suspension components aren't any larger than other manufacturers.
