The question really is what are the differences between the "idea" - twin turbo V6, suspension, etc - and how Toyota took the idea and improved on it; typically that is so you don't have to buy another truck every 5 years. Remember, Apple was never first at anything ...

The Hybrid engine is what sold me. I plan on using the Tundra for commuting to work and occasionally going to the desert on the weekends. I have always wanted a full sized truck with good gas mileage and it looks like my wish has come true.

[@vitaly6312]

I appreciate what the guy says about towing. Just because another truck has 300lbs or 1000lbs on you, doesn’t mean it’s fun doing that. And if you’re consistently towing 12000lbs then you should probably be driving an HD truck in the first place. 1/2 ton trucks are more for daily driver convenience, capability, and reliability than a max tow rating. I’m hopeful this truck has all of that and is extremely successful.

[@galactictomato1434]

I really like this Engineer. At first it was a bit too much marketing mumbo jumbo. But he started giving straight answers and didn't shy away from technical details which I appreciate.

[@Subzero-ji5ys]

Since I was a young kid, Toyota is always a very dependable truck or car. I had a 1991 Toyota celica, that was my first car when I was stationed in Hawaii as a new grunt. Spent 3 there and 9 years in fort hood, my car was very reliable and didn’t have any major issue with it. I understand what the main engineer goals and fully understand what his mission is. Give a very reliable truck with very good updates, towing stability, and much more. I like the way he thinks, take some of the good things, from every flat form. Combine it all and minor adjustments, and there you have it. I would like to own one. By the way y’all, good morning from San Antonio Texas.

Those of you weary of the new powertrain, just remember 440hp & 580ft/lbs. ♥️ Turbo longevity should not be a problem if Toyota tunes them to run under-stressed.

I have the new 2022 Toyota Tundra with two wheel drive and my two big serious issues occur when I'm towing a travel trailer. The first serious issue occurs when I try and go up a gravel road on a grade and the tires start spinning. What happens, is that the traction control will engage and keep slowing down the vehicle every time a tire slips and it keeps slowing down all the way to the point where the engine bogs down and you literally cannot move. I tried disengaging the traction control completely even following KZbin reviews on how to do this but for some reason the system is programmed to come back on after few seconds automatically, whether I turn it back on or not. This is very very bad and dangerous when you need traction the most on a gravel road going up an incline. I literally had to back the trailer down a blind turn for 200 ft, twice because I attempted to go back up again with chains and that didn't improve the situation at all. This issue needs to be fixed by Toyota. You could literally become trapped when you're towing a trailer on a winding narrow Gravel Road. And the second issue also occurs only when you're pulling a trailer. And that is when I'm trying to use Lane Trace control where the steering wheel will actually keep you in the lane. But, when you plug in to the trailer wiring harness it will suddenly go off and there is absolutely no way to turn it back on while you're hooked up to a travel trailer and this is a bad feature also because this is when I needed the lane tracing the most, so that I won't be muscling the steering wheel as I have severe arthritis in both hands. I've had the lane tracing feature on other Toyotas that I added aftermarket Towing and I was able to still use the lane tracing, which was a big help in pulling a trailer. What were these engineer programmers thinking when they decided to automatically disengage Lane tracing when your Towing??? I don't get it! Don't they test this out in the real world before they decide to commit to these changes? Would you please do a review of this situation towing a trailer for yourself so you can see what I mean? And do it with a two-wheel drive Tundra, as I don't think you're going to have this problem with four-wheel drive as you can disengage the traction control system on four-wheel drive. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Rod Terrell

Great interview. It’s always nice to hear from Mike. This man is a genius. The work his team has done with the third generation Tacoma and the new Tundra is amazing. I can hardly wait and see what his team does with the four generation Tacomas.

This is best purpose lead clarification I have heard , good job.

I'm still shocked that no competitors are trying to copy Ford's pro power feature. It just seems like such an obviously practical and hugely useful feature that it would be hard for me to justify buying a truck without it when I could just get the F-150.

[@BullittKid08]

Adding that feature might have affected reliability/complexity and eventually the price. Who knows, could be offered down the road as a future option

[@iskdude9922]

Yeah thats a game changer. If the tundra added that it would be perfect.

@@iskdude9922 It would be close to an F-150.

@@andyd5492 would be even better. Drop down rear window + toyota reliability. If you need more than 12k towing you really need a 3/4 ton or higher.
