I work at a dealership as a salesman and whenever a customer needs to take the night to think about the vehicle I always recommend them to check out your channel because you give the greatest in depth reviews of anyone I've watched. You've sold quite a few cars for me ♥️
That Lunar Rock color looks good on the 22 Tundra. Also thanks for showing us the actual infotainment. Rather than showing up the Apple / Android interface.
I own a 2021 F-150 and while I do love the truck, I can't help but want the new TRD Pro. Each truck has its positives and negatives, I really don't think you can go wrong anymore...but for me, that Red interior is what sold me.
Never ever thought I’d be considering a Toyota for my first truck. I’ve been dead set saving up for an F150. But the more 2022 tundra videos of yours I watch, the more I’m liking this tundra and considering buying one. I think all it will come down to in the end is price
@@timothyfawks2437 At least previously. The highest end Models of Tundra were about the same price of a mid tier Ford. So around 50k. Fords highest end models easily hit 70k or more.
Turbo equals more problems and undoubtably your engine wears out faster and there’s nothing you can do about it besides keeping the boost down so that’s a negative. But god we’re gonna love the power you get while having the engine and a tune for sure 🤟🏼
I have a 2011 f150 with 230k miles as my work truck, it was the first year for the 3.5 ecoboost, haven’t had any issues and I’ve only done scheduled oil changes .
I’m hoping more people will begin to realize how awesome these 3.5 twin turbo engines are. I have a 2020 F150 and it’s a beast. Super efficient when I haul heavy loads. I haven’t had the opportunity to tow yet. But they engine so far has done everything I’ve asked it to do. Really liking this Tundra.
Joe, I don't know how Lori manages to keep the camera steady sometimes with your cornball humor and snack food jokes, all delivered straight up, and which are actually funny 😂(and original). Kudos to Lori! 👸 You missed the chance to call that rock in the console a lunar rock and say it comes standard with the color.
TO THE DOOR PANELS!!!! Is always my fave part of every video! It's where the in depth part starts.. I always have to know how many twinkies I can fit in each compartment it's invaluable information!
That's it....im getting the SR5 TRD 4x4 off road. I think I'll get the 8in screen. So glad they used a regular shifter unlike that stupid folding lever the F150 has that's already breaking or not working smoothly. I really hope the prices isn't stupid like $70k just for an SR5. That takes balls to put a rock inside the cab of toyotas new truck. I'm sure they watched that part and said....there better not be a single scratch in there.
Agreed. With the powertrain and some select features in mind, I immediately assumed they'd price these similar to the competing bands. Hope not tho cause getting a V8 previous gen for sub 40k was pretty cool.
Ford comes nowhere near Toyotas quality and reliability. If they undercut Ford. they will definitely sell a lot of ‘em. However if they are same price IDk
This video is sponsored by Toyota. Do you think anyone cares about all the Toyota logos ? This guy makes sure he points every one of them out. Do you think we care about how it compares to the F150 at every feature? No. But Toyota does. Do you think he got a chance to review a preproduction model and it didn't influence his opinion at all ? Of course it did. I wouldn't be surprised off he got lunch with them and they talked about what they wanted to see out of the video. Waste of ti e
It's funny how the base model actually looks the best out of all the trims I've seen. I hate chrome and I hate gaudy badges. I just wish they would color match the black portion of the front bumper below.
Another great video, Joe! We appreciate the non-biased content. You deliver it how it is. It’s hard for me to take channels like “pick-up truck +suv talk” seriously because Tim is so partial to Ford. It’s like listening to a Ford employee doing a review of other car brands 🤦🏻♂️
After being loyal to solely Toyota for almost 10 years, I’m gassed. Making their dated infotainment twice as large doesn’t make it “with the times”. Besides, the new Tundra shows what it’ll look like for the next 10-15 years. They’ll always hold a special place in my heart, but I’m convinced they’re good for two things- reliability and resale value, that’s it.
I mean.. Those are 2 pretty important things... And it looks good. Even though it might look like this for at least a decade, its new for now. Lol.. Soo idk what more you really want. Is the infotainment system really that much of a deal breaker?
Toyota came out swinging with this redesigned Tundra!!! And it looks waaaaaaaaay better with the mustache and fender flairs body color painted. Well done Toyota!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #Toyota #Tundra #SR5 #TRDallthethings
Love this truck 👌 Toyota's trucks are my favourite trucks on the road today 🔥 I always thought of grabbing one in the future, but I'd probably settle for a Tacoma since it's a bit smaller 😅
My suggestion would be go for a 2012-15 Tacoma with the 4.0V6. It's a tried and true engine with alot of power and reliability. Look for the TRD Sport trim. I've had one 2012 TRD Sport 4x4, spruce green and gold pearlescent coating had it since show room new. 200K miles and no issues. Still on the original drums in the rear and 2nd set if disc's up front. Perfect truck.
+2 on the 2.5 gen Tacoma’s (2012-2015). Best generation of Tacoma. Do not make the mistake of buying the turd gen. The gearing is off, Toyota focused way too much on fuel economy and it just hunts for gears on hills. Cabin is smaller on the 3rd gen as well
Nice. Real nice. Great video Lori & Joe! Don’t worry about the lack of armrest and connectivity in the backseat. Just judging by the SR5 TRD package, that backseat was designed for the overlander dog owner in mind. Id say you can fit 2 full sized German Shepards & an Australian Sheepdog back there
Depends entirely on the price! Keep it around $45k for a fully loaded SR5 4x4 crew cab, and I think you’ll get a hell of a truck for the money. Really love that all the safety tech and LEDs are standard!
That would be killer deal, but with all the techs. I have a feeling a loaded SR5 might be in the $48-50k range. If you notice all the 2020 Toyota that has the “Standard Safety Sense” are all $1500 more than previous years where Safety Sense was only on the top of the line trim.
@@tigerbiterhater yeah but you never know, the current ‘21 SR5 4x4 crewmax is $43k with a few options on the side, so $45k may be a possibility. I mean even $50k would still be a good deal compared to the F150 XLT for example, which is $55k with all the desirable options
@@jakes5530 agree. $45k loaded like the one here is a deal. Pretty sure it’ll be waiting list for one and knowing dealers. There’s gonna be mark up even on SR5 trim.
One thing I don’t understand is all this “pre production” stuff. I find it hard to believe that Toyota is shipping these out to dealers in two months yet they don’t have any models that aren’t currently pre production????
Just spoke to the dealer in Washington, SR5 with Premium Package (14" Screen and 6.5' Bed - $53,800 [$47,115 base MSRP before add-ons) & Limited with TRD Off Road Package with 14" Screen and 6.5' Bed is $57,700 [$52,300 base MSRP before add-ons]). No mark up. Hope that helps!
I'd say outside of some of the f150s extra features, which we could argue that plenty of theme or pointless.. this tundra has beat the new f150 in exterior, interior, fit and finish, and we already know reliability.
Never a ford. They are a 5 year truck with built in failure. The tundra has always been a much better real world truck. I am willing to bet they will continue with this new truck.
@@normt430 I don't think the maintain part is the issue. It's just hard to compete with ford's mass manufacturing plants that can pump out cheap f150s like its nothing.
That truck look amazing if ur texas u should definitely get a truck like this 👍🏻 thanks joe & l , but starting price for this will good up at least 45k -48k
Can't say I wouldn't like to have one but I miss the days when trucks didn't cost 90 grand and weren't about looking like a transformer. Love my 97 T100. Reliable, does the job, paid for. I hope it lasts another 10 years.
Nice looking truck ..miss the v8s though...sick paint job,sick design alll around.. Don't like that black insert on the front bumper it distorts the grill design
They should’ve kept the V8 as an option I think... it may not be the best power or economy but a natural V8 is a different driving experience that feels great...
A Ford half ton was the worst truck for reliability I've ever owned and a gmc was a close second worst. Neither company will ever get another dime of mine. Toyota rules period when it comes to reliability..
@@tracecronk3727 I known many to have good luck with Ford's and GMs but my experience is not that. My Ford was a long time ago and I've been faithful to myself in never having another. It was totally shot in 5 years. It was a 77 Ranger with a 400ci v8.. My Gm experience is lengthy and my last Gm of which I've had , 70, 82, 85, 90, 99 2009 GM was an incredible lemon with something broken always. I had 31 issues in 6 years. My Toyota so far has been flawless and so much tougher than comparably related GMs. I wish you luck with your Ford's ....if they serve you well that's what they are supposed to do. If I'm satisfied with any product I'll stick with them.
Loving these reviews on pick-up trucks especially on the tundra. Never was a pick-up truck guy but seeing these reviews I want to get a truck. Great job Joe and Lori behind the camera. 👍
Well, I think my decision has been made! Love it in the lunar rock color. This is all the truck that 95% of truck owners need. My only two complaints are 1) no front tow hooks, c'mon Toyota and 2) I wish the tires were a little more aggressive, but I understand, it is the sport model. Now just need to unload my 3 month old 2021 Taco.
Can’t believe your are doing this review. Been obsessed with getting info about the ‘22 Tundra this week. Awesome review and background history. I’d get this very color too!
Gotta say, love how it looks. Got a few years till I upgrade but one of these used is definitely gonna be a big contender. Personally idk if it would look good with Lunar Rock, but I really liked the red color with the magnetic fender flares that they had at the reveal. Will be honest though, one big "zonk"(half zonk?) for me is the underseat storage. Love having it, and love the amount of storage it gives you, but one thing Ford did better with it imo was having it able to fold flat when you're not using it, like when you have something bulky you need in the back, but don't wanna put in the bed(idk, tv or something?)
I want a new Tundra, but nothing is wrong with my 2010 CrewMax, 150K miles and still going strong!! If you get one of these you’re going to have it for a looooooooooooooong time 😎
Love all the Color Matching on the SR5. A few mods like Katzkin Leather Seats and a TRD Pro Grill would make this perfect. It has 479 lb-ft Torque, not 379. Great review as always Joe.
Pretty sure Toyota was reluctant to use turbos on this model given their reputation for reliability. I get it in terms of gas mileage but can't help but think a hybrid set up would of been better. And how about some storage boxes on the side like the Ram has with those Ram boxes? And GMC has those new tailgates but it looks like Toyota just went with the old setup.
the fact that I've already been in a prototype 1974 edition 2022 edition tundra is crazy because most people won't get to be in one because they won't buy one or they'll have to wait . its crazy
Love the addition of heated cloth seats to the SR5. That’s something the last one was missing. A bit perplexed by the lack of any connectivity in the back seat though. Even my 2021 Tundra SR5 at least has a 12 volt back there
Yeah they seemed to have added a bunch of things to the SR5 that wasn't avail before- Pano moon roof, heated seats, power folding mirrors etc. It is weird they removed the single 12volt outlet in the back but Im wondering since this is still a "pre-Production" unit that we may see one back there when they go on sale...
For a trim just above base it looks like a winner! I am sure we will see a lot of SR5 Tundras on the road, but I hope to drive a 1794 Edition or Limited Tundra. Thanks Joe and Lori!!
Without even watching I can answer the question. Absolutely. The Tundra has always been a better truck than Ford, Chevy or Ram. There is no better 1/2 ton pickup and unlikely ever will be.
@@derekmarion7237 ya because they don’t sell at discounted rates and Toyota doesn’t mass produce them. It’s why their quality control is at a higher standard and that’s a fact.
Truck looks great! I would probably go with the limited to get a few more features, but I don’t mind the analog tachometer. I think it looks pretty good!
