Very happy you were able to avert a pink slip in your pay envelope from the mothership with this positive spin of making lemonade from lemons. Just a leeetle observations: This turbo-problem motor is not a new motor It was introduced in the 2018 lexus 500 EXACT MODEL 3.5 liter V6 with twin turbos (LEXUS, copying Mercedes, calls it a 500 to describe it's horsepower similarities to the previous 480 - 4.8 V8.... but of course 20 points better than the old V8! In Mercedes' case, they take the exact same 2 liter 4 banger turbo and chip it for different horsepowers to get their 200, 250, 300 and 450 series cars, more money, same motor) So why, after 4 years in production, did this wunderkind turbo "500" suddenly have problems in the 2022 tundra? Notice they didn't call it a "590" in the 2022 tundra - "twenty points" higher than the 570 V8 it replaced, ha ha. You work the shop, plase tell us how many book shop labor hours to lift the truck cab completely off the frame just to work on these new wunderkind turbo-motor'ed trucks? Not a worry until 3 years or 36k miles after warranty expires; but will the 2022 owner need to take a second note out on a 2022 turbo truck just for the labor costs the "new" repair methodology increases? I hear, though I'll never climb in one, that the new crewmax has less interior room in the cab. I hear, though I'll never buy one, that the new tundra has a plastic bed. Plastic, age and UV rays do not mix well. I hear, though I'll never buy one, that the new 2022 tundra gas tank is 6 gallons less than the 38 gallon 2021 tank. I hated with a passion the 26.8 gallon tanks in my 2012 and 2015 tundras, and kissed the gas caps of my new 2019 and now 2021 tundras 38 gallon tanks. I travel often enough 600 to 900 miles/day and the extra range of a 38 gallon tank is a Godsend. ok, I've made my observations. In closing, unlike you, I disagree that Toyota listened to its customers on the 2022 Tundra build. I believe Toyota did not build a new model Tundra to please it's customer base, I believe it built this 2022 Tundra to please the US Government corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) wonks, to please the Toyota Cost Accountants who know that plastic is cheaper than sheet steel, that micro-chipped engine controls require less precision machining of V8 motors that can run a million miles; while microchips self-destruct much sooner from age, and turbos simply burn themselves out with short life-spans from processing 1000 degree exhaust gases into horsepower. In other words, Toyota built the 2022 Tundra to hasten the planned obsolescence of the new Tundra, a truck that many current owners of the old Tundra believe can last as long as they need a truck. There ain't enough suger water in the world to make me buy this 2022 Tundra lemon.

I test drove a 22 Tundra and loved it. The turbos worried me a bit so I decided on a 22 4Runner. Glad I stayed away from the turbo issue. Hopefully they are as reliable some day as the last gen tundras. Great video buddy!

There's nothing massive about the back seat. Lol it's actually smaller than the previous model.

My only beef is with the back bumper not being able to step up when tailgate is down like cmon I have to buy an accessory for that. Maybe they could of done something cool with the tailgate like GM does as well. Besides that its a nice truck can't wait for the used market to get one later on.

At this point in history 2022-2023 , no one is reinventing the wheel nor should they try. So when new vehicles come out from the manufacturers, they shouldn’t use cheaper parts from the start.

If you have a V8 one especially a 2005 keep it want better gas mileage get a Camry Hybrid LE or a Prius. If you need a new tundra wait for the hybrid that’s coming if you must get one.

boo... how much did Toyota paid for your review. Own a 2019. was hoping new tundra would be a upgrade.. totally dissapointed

[@ughmas]

Excellent review! Your insight with the initial mechanical inspection video helped me decide to pull the trigger and get a '22 SR5 (only one more month of waiting left). Everything I need in a truck, and nothing I don't. Should be noted that the bed step is an optional accessory and pretty expensive - it doesn't bother me since I am relatively in shape and can hop in the bed or step on the tire with no issue, but there probably should have been some sort of standard step. I also went with the predator running boards that are more functional, don't think the rock sliders serve much of a purpose as you noted.

[@estaldamasnl88]

New Tundra interior space shrunk and exterior got bigger??? The turning radius got worse also!!! Why Toyota??? Plus there is too much plastic on this model. Previous model looks better in my opinion. Can’t wait for exterior refresh.

[@LTJohn]

I appreciate your honesty AMD as always but it's a fact that a naturally aspirated V8 will always be more reliable than a twin turbo V6 because it is less complicated and will have less parts that will wear out overtime and Toyota could have modernized the 5.7 I force V8 and still allowed it to get better fuel economy and also possibly a bumping power while also using these new power plants as well. It's very disappointing and I can guarantee you that these engines even later on once the bugs get fixed still will not hold up to a million miles like what some of the 5.7s have been able to do..

[@howebrad4601]

Funny now that Toyota has quality issues people make all kinds of excuses. But back when the domestics had minor issues that was the end of the world, they were constantly degraded. I've owned toyotas over the years and they have been flawless. Currently I have 2 Chevrolet pickups, half ton and a dually and both have been flawless. Combined 150k on the pair and never been to the dealer other than for oil changes. So how about a bit of consistency? No manufacturer is perfect. Toyota doesn't walk on water and neither are the domestics junk like so many people say.

It’s nice but I’m still keeping my 2018 Tundra TRD/Sport. It does what I need for my current toys. If I do upgrade it’s not smaller engine it’s going to be diesel power but that just me. I started from small engine for trucks and NOT going back when towing toys.

[@MegaSlowe]

I can't afford either, but Toyota is gonna regret getting rid of a V8 option. They're already having problems with the new twin turbo engines. It's insane to put all that additional crap into a smaller engine just to squeak out maybe 2 more miles a gallon. You don't buy a truck to save on gas. So this is done because of politics. When the senile old bastard is thrown out along with the Democrats, Trump will roll back all this crap.

[@bkanegson]

My 2000 Tundra still runs like a top. Unless I go electric, I may be buried in it. Would like better mileage but it still works for me, like the day I drove it home from the dealer. On the 2022, I'd like to see the new rear view mirrors be able to slide/ adjust. .Pull out wide for towing, push in to retract for day to day. IMHO the new styling is too gimmicky. Form should follow function. I see no use for "screws that are not functional" inside the headlights. Why bother? Too much wasted plastic. Fit & finish, reliability, this is what you buy a Toyota for. If they lose that, they've lost everything. They need to regain first time-every time quality if they've lost it. As far as new designs needing refinement, it's a very frustrating routine having to bring a new vehicle back to the dealer, wait or get a loaner while you depend on them to fix, on their dime or yours (and they are the judge, and you are left in the position of having to trust a stealership) and for them to have to remove the body.... that's Ford crazy design territory. Later on, that will cost your first born and a limb, regardless of how long it actually takes them to do. I understand the need to improve fuel economy. I appreciate that Toyota is upgrading the electronics and interfaces. It has always been the case that a made in Japan Toyota, especially the engine, was the better quality option. (We have always checked the vin # to know.). Hate to see them release Beta vehicles with bugs, historically uncharacteristic. The gen 1 Tundra 4.7 engine from the get-go was a bullet proof Lexus design. Pre tested in real world is as it should continue to be, so dealer does not have to be on speed dial for recurring issues. You buy Toyota specifically to avoid that nightmare. Thank you for very honest review, allows me a real basis to form an opinion. Good information here.

V8 powered trucks are going away. The Hemi will be gone in 2023. Its replacement is an inline 6 cylinder twin turbo. The coyote from Ford is on its way out too. The 5.3 and 6.2 from GM are going away soon to. I give it 5 years and no full sized truck manufacturer will offer a V8. Whether we love it or hate it, small displacement forced induction (and in some cases hybrid) engines are what's coming. Toyotas upcoming Hybrid tundra and the Powerboost option from Ford is where its all headed on the way to all electric. I'm not convinced all in on electric vehicles is something we are ready for yet from a infrastructure and battery tech standpoint. Hybrids on the other hand are just brilliant. I just with I could afford a hybrid powerboost F150. More efficient trucks are the way forward and the V8 won't make the trip.
