Toyota has redesigned its full-size pick-up for 2022, with boldly aggressive designing and a new suspension system developed for smoother, less “truck-like” flight as well as handling. The brand-new Tundra is offered in two taxicab setups, each with a choice of 2 bed sizes: Double Cab 4-doors are available with a 6.5-foot bed or an 8.1-foot bed; the longer CrewMax 4-door can obtain a 5.5-foot bed or 6.5-foot bed.
Unlike various other full-size pickups, the new Tundra isn’t available with a V8 engine– the previous-generation Tundra’s 5.7-liter V8 has actually been replaced by V6 powertrains of comparable or greater horsepower. Buyers can now choose from a 389-horsepower twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 (ranked at 348 hp on the base SR trim), or a gas-electric crossbreed version of that engine, which puts out a consolidated 437 horsepower. Both engines couple with a 10-speed automatic transmission, as opposed to the previous Tundra’s 6-speed unit.
The 2022 Tundra’s back suspension is a new multilink coil-spring design in place of the previous leaf-spring configuration, which boosts trip and handling. Recently offered is an Adaptive Variable Suspension, which instantly adjusts damping pressure based on driving conditions. For severe off roading, TRD Off-Road, TRD Sport, and also TRD Pro upgrade plans are offered, with various mixes of wheels, tires, and also suspension developed for serious obligation. Maximum haul as well as towing capabilities are both enhanced, to as much as 1940 extra pounds as well as 12,000 pounds, specifically.
The brand new inside is highlighted by the brand-new Toyota Audio Multimedia infotainment system, that includes cordless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connection and also is offered with a navigation system that has over-the-air updates.

All Tundra designs come standard with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 collection of security features, which includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, dynamic radar cruise control, lane separation alert, lane mapping help, automated high-beam headlamps, and also rear seat tip. A blind-spot surveillance system is additionally conventional. Readily available security functions consist of rear cross-traffic alert and also car park assistance brake, which will apply brake control when the system detects a feasible crash while the truck is being parked.
Although the Tundra has never truly intimidated the massive sales numbers that domestic brand names rack up in this classification, it has actually constantly been a respectable seller with its own special appeal. That stated, the Tundra was long past due for a ground-up redesign, as well as this new variation brings welcome renovations– including much better gas economic situation. With these modifications, as well as Toyota’s online reputation for quality, this brawny looking gear is currently poised to remain an excellent selection for full-size-pickup customers.

Keep in mind the host club is the AACA whose emphasis is stock as well as initial autos and vehicles, so hot rod things exists yet it’s in the minority. Assume horseless carriages, brass-era, Model -T/A’s as much as 50’s chromed land luxury yachts, muscle autos as much as anything 25 years and older. Severe variety is nitty-gritty. I’m not seeking Packard things, yet I love examining everything out. One of my favorite tasks at Hershey is trying to find vanished old automobile produces that I previously never new existed. This year I included Erskine and Ames to my lovely worthless listing of old cars and trucks. You never understand what hinges on the next cubicle or aisle. And also I love all of it.
