New Tundra has 4runner vibes

Excited to see what the 2022 Tundra will look like. Only a few months left until release. It will foreshadow a lot for the 2023 4Runner. I just hope it doesn't look like the Fortuner or the new Sienna.

 

It has “raptor” LEDs and a light bar in the grill. There you go mods done.....,,, I would get a new Ford electric Lightning if I had the jack...

In for 2025 model

 

lol. Raptor only has Raptor lights because it’s required to by law.

Don’t tell me the Tundra is that wide.

 

Hmmm. After the debut, not sure its still eminating 4runner vibes

 

I'll hold my final opinion until I see it in person, but as of now it's kinda goofy looking.

Interior is pretty dang nice though.

Really good info about the iforce-max engine -

Good video, but that is a very complex powertrain. I'd be concerned about the severe duty maintenance schedule, might rival that of a diesel.

My main takeaway is that it's not a typical Toyota hybrid design, more like Toyota's take on a mild hybrid (like the old GM hybrid trucks, or apparently identical to the F150), so it's not as unique as the other hybrids. If I needed to tow or needed a half-tom for some other reason, I'd probably go with a conventional engine. The turbo engines eat gas when you stay in the boost, which you will.

If I needed a truck bed for cargo, and wasn't planning to tow a lot, I would honestly go for a Ridgeline. NA engine, good HP and payload, and seemingly as good or better mpg than the expensive hybrid trucks.

 

That's a 21 Tundra.

 

Great video! Based on that, I would go with the non-hybrid system.

Looking forward to reviews of the working man's models that are under $50k.

 

Looks like they integrated a lot of the 200 Land Cruiser technology in this latest and suppose to be greatest Tundra , could be just like the Tacoma after 2015 the new version kind of ruined the Tacoma for me .
