2022 Toyota Tundra Vs 2nd Gen Toyota Tundra: Is The New Tundra Actually An Improvement?

[@amirmollaebrahimi1295]

Honestly I’m thinking the same thing. Those turbos have me worried as well. Will be interesting seeing long term reliability 🤔

[@alwaysiyi272]

Why is technology such a bad thing and the new one doesn't really have that much technology, it's pretty much on par with every other truck in its class

[@kengardner59]

I am a total Toyota truck fan, and put about 30k miles a year on my 18 Tundra - but if listening to this video is all I knew about Tundras - I would think the 2nd Gen is archaic and drives like a 1940's pickup. Far from it! I have no issues with how my Tundra drives - runs just about as smooth as my father in laws RAM. Not Jittery at all. And dash isnt as "pretty"? C'mon. My 18 CM has all the bells and whistles I need as a truck owner. You sounded like you were being paid by Toyota to upsell the 22....doubt you spent more than an hour in either of these trucks. I will keep my 5.7, and better looking (btw) old school Tundra! The 22 truck will be in the shop a lot more than mine, replacing cameras and all the other electronic gadgets a truck owner doesnt truly need anyway - for $60 and up! Not a 22 hater - the review just didnt sit right with me- Totally my opinion of course.

[@bobby3944]

My thoughts exactly.

[@greggomirato7975]

Agreed. Nice interior, too much going on with the exterior. Be interesting to see if the 6 cyl turbo lasts as long as the monthly payments.

Now i will say i dont hate the design of the truck but the design is the only thing I would have changed there was nothing wrong with the mechanics of the 3rd gen people just wanted and newer look but they changed the truck completely, this is definitely just an suv shaped like a truck, and no v8, really👎👎

[@azphilip1960]

These two Tundra's are not the same trim. The new one is a sr5 sport trd sport and the the current is a regular sr5 with NO upgrade package and NO trd sport or offroad. My 2020 sr5 trd offroad with upgrade package and convenience package has the center console with with the shifter like the new tundra and no column shifter and no full bench. I love my 2020 proven V-8 Tundra sr5 trd offroad with upgrade package, convenience package and fully loaded with 18" wheels and tires. I WILL NOT trade it in for the new for v6 turbos, i'd rather pay more in gas than more in maintenance etc....... next time do a apples to apples comparison (same trim). 🍎🙂👍👌

Bad comparison, he's just selling the new one. I own a 2023 but I want to know the real differences

[@applianceman6009]

Toyota is gonna discontinue all of their simple and reliable engines for turbo crap. I am very disappointed as those engines were the reason I loved Toyota so much. I am gonna get a used Tundra with a 5.7 V8. Toyota is killing their simple and reliable engines. They can’t even offer a V8 option like the other manufacturers do, and that is what has turned me away from them the most. Here I was all disappointed that they discontinued the 5.7 V8. I didn’t think it could any worse, but then, they took the 3.5 V6 out of the Highlander for a 4 cylinder that is very noisy and laggy. Great move, Toyota!! Well done! Glad I got a Highlander back in 2019 when they had the V6. For anyone wanting a truck or SUV, I always told them to go with Toyota, but now, I say to stay clear of them because of their new turbo engines. Many people will argue that it is government epa restrictions, but other manufacturers have been able to do it. Honda released a new V6 for the Pilot that meets 2030 regulations and requirements. GM is investing in the next gen V8s. If you wanna no the real reason that Toyota is doing this, it is to cut costs. It is cheaper to build these little turbo engines. Rather than larger displacement engines. They can now mass produce them in very large quantities. lf you want a SUV or truck, stay clear of these little turbo engines. There is no replacement for displacement!! Toyota is about to lose a long loyal customer!!

[@ZZ-uf4zv]

Your comparing pretty between a plain SR5 and a TRD nicer model, not apples to apples. My 2020 limited is alot nicer than that SR5 your using as a comparison. Terrible comparison.

The new tundra is just butt ugly and not proven at compared to the 5.7L v8. Plus no more good sound from the engine with new tundras. Was also shocked to see the new truck lost some leg room in he back of the crew max.

[@pel6586]

[@the_DOS]

The 2021 tundra limited is running for 48k limited model here. So you can get the same limited 2022 model for 53k. Definitely worth the 5k difference. Just need to find a dealer with no markup!

I don't see the older Tundra as being "clunky" in its suspension. The 2022 is refined but so is the 2021. The longevity of the V8 is a plus and the V6 is likely to be good but still unknown in a truck application. I don't see huge improvement in the 2022 and I think that is what prior year Tundra owners are saying.

[@pryme2013]

lol at attempting to not really show the ear leg room. the new one is tiny in that back compared to the old one. a proper review should be unbiased but I understand the dealer probably steered you before hand. I've seen a couple reviews from unbiased people showing how poor the fit and finish is on the new truck.

[@alwaysiyi272]

Well its a brand new truck, its gonna take trial and error, look at the Ford Bronco, it had lots of problems when it came out but slowly they would start to fix all of the problems, and from what I've heard Toyota has been really good about that

Still don’t think Toyota did enough here. They are now in line with the competition but they needed to come out ahead in a ground up redesign. Ford, ram, gm gonna leave Toyota in the dust again in 2-3 years while Toyota gonna be exactly the same until 2035. That plus random oversights like no tow hooks and ugly ass chrome on a lot of trims (why are we still putting chrome on trucks in 2022?) Otherwise, solid truck. Also would have liked to be able to pick a better axle ratio for putting bigger tires on in the future. 3.73 or 4.10 but I understand they have the neuter the truck to gain 0.01 mpg.

[@joonkwon9303]

Don't know about other vehicle categories, but trucks are the most associated with the use of chrome. Some truck guys love chrome on their favorite trucks, especially in older demographics. There's also regional preferences - the South for example is where chrome is a big thing, and a lot of Southerners love big giant chrome grilles on the trucks so manufacturers still have to target that market. That being said, I think the placement of chrome on the new Tundra is a big mistake... The chrome moustache that go around the grille in some trims makes the truck look unattractive and busy to the point of being an eyesore. There's probably a better way of using the chrome... Anyways, overall, I think it's a great truck with great design... Just needs some work to be done with exterior design.

I had the option of buying the 22 at the dealership before it was released, they were going to order it but I insisted on the 21, last year of one of the best engines made for Toyota, it’s like the 06 jeep inline 6, the 22 is way nicer when it comes to comforts but I just couldn’t get myself to accept the untested new engine and transmission made for a full size truck, the 22 might wow everyone in the future but I like simple knobs in the interior and the look of the 21 trd off road package with built in storage for the bed
