Toyota is back with the 2022 Tundra and gave it a complete redesign from the previous models after they remained the same since the initial release in 2007. The new Toyota Tundra comes with a plethora of improvements and upgrades that would appeal to the American market.

Although there isn’t a lot of information about the 2022 Toyota Tundra yet, we have compiled a complete review of what we know about the new vehicle from Toyota.

Overview

The 2022 Toyota Tundra comes with a set of impressive features that sets it apart from the previous vehicles. The new vehicle would please a different set of audience, with its coil springs that provide a smooth ride on- and off-road, a large towing capacity, an extensive suite of driver assistance features, and a powerful lone engine option for a smooth driving experience.

The car also has an impressive interior cabin design for a comfortable ride and a top-notch infotainment system with a large touch screen. With all of these features, the 2022 Toyota Tundra is a top emerging choice.

Characteristics

Power and Performance

The 2022 Toyota Tundra is available with only one engine, which is a twin-turbo V-6 engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission. But it comes with a hybrid system offering 583 pound-feet of torque and 437 horsepower because of the electric motor inbuilt in the transmission. If you go for the standard system instead, you only get 479 pound-feet of torque and 389 horsepower.

This new Toyota also comes with a coil-spring rear suspension that makes it smoother while you ride, and is easy to handle. You can choose between the TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road packages.

Interior, Infotainment, and Cargo

The interior quality of the 2022 Toyota Tundra is expected to increase the higher the trims, so you can expect an attractive and smooth finishing on the inside. All the trims come with a practical center console, with a large bin and different storage spaces that you can benefit from.

The standard instrument panel features a driver information display and analog gauges, while the higher trim levels would impress you with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. You can also choose between two body styles and three cargo-bed sizes.

As for the infotainment system, the 2022 Toyota Tundra is fitted with an 8.0-inch touchscreen as standard, while the optional choice is a 14.0-inch. There is also a wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Wi-Fi hotspot, plus an old-school volume knob.

Fuel Economy

Although the exact fuel economy ratings of the 2022 Toyota Tundra have not been announced, it is clear that this vehicle is built for power based on its hybrid powertrain. Thus, you can expect a better fuel economy with the non-hybrid options.

Warranty and Maintenance

The warranty and maintenance coverage for the 2022 Tundra is the same as what is provided on every other full-sized pickup truck. It offers complimentary maintenance for up to two years or 25,000 miles, which is an unmatched offer that many other car companies don’t meet.

Asides from this, the limited warranty is set at three years or 36,000 miles, while the powertrain warranty has coverage of five years or 60,000 miles.

Price

As the 2022 Tundra is expected to go on sale later this year, Toyota has not released any information about the pricing. But it would cost higher than the previous model year, as the starting price was set at $35,620.

The cheapest trim line is SR, which has an estimated price of $36,000, while the most expensive is the 1794 Edition, with an expected cost of $52,000. The 1794 Edition is the top-of-the-line trim line with the interior being the most impressive part.
