The 2022 Toyota Tundra 1794 Is A Modern Electrified Truck That Can Challenge The Best From Detroit 

"so nice it's almost terrifying to think you should ever drive one." Anyhow absolutely these are "pickup truck Wars" with the pure BEV segment i think to be truly epic. Still I'd rather go with a Ford Ranger than any other vehicle on the market today just based on the possibility of truly massive sales numbers for that Platform *plus all these extras now.* Gotta show up to the Party, absolutely and ahem "thanks to the super efficient Tesla Brand" ahem. Crazy amounts of money.

I love the 2022 Toyota Tundra, it’s very nice! I would love to see a all electric tundra too! Can you review the all electric Chevy Silverado when it comes out? I love all electric cars

30 mpg????

Your review was basically in my backyard. I live just a bit north of Canyon Lake. I still own my 1st gen '02 Tundra that I bought new in March '02. One reason I never upgraded to a newer Tundra was the fact that you couldn't get the Crew Max with a more useful 6.5' bed. I'm glad to see that the new Tundra offers that now. It might be time for me to finally upgrade trucks.

"Modern Electrified Truck That Can Challenge The Best From Detroit"???? really??? Detroit has Hybrids already and will have BEVs soon.... so it seemed like a clickbait title...

Y’all hiring

You should be embarrassed by your company for producing and underwhelming out dated truck.

Test track please give me a break. You wanna give that tundra a real test put a pallet of 80lb bags of concrete in its bed while towing a 30' utility trailer hauling a skidsteer all day like I do with my 2020 F350 6.7 turbo diesel quad cab 4x4. Lmao 🤣.

@@daleradder7354 Name me a company that does that as a standard test track feature. None do

@@robertesensee3494 You don't need a company to do real life testing. It's called everyday driving and hauling in the workplace. We have pickup trucks that haul and tow equipment and materials to and from construction sites. That Tundra couldn't do the job. Everybody talks about towing capacity but they never tell you about payload ability. Toyota doesn't even offer a 3/4 ton or a 1 ton truck. Just a cheap copy of the Ford Raptor with the Ecoboost engine that Ford introduced back in 2012.

Definitely

100%

That'd be really cool but then the Pro wouldn't be "unique"

You could honestly just swap it in, Im sure it’s all the same.

You need turbos for heavy towing, especially in high elevations. The naturally aspirated V8s are anemic and get poor fuel economy when not towing.

@@user-tb7rn1il3q yes!... Im on my third F150 Supercrew Lariat... all have been bulletproof with no issues whatsoever... first was a 2015 Coyote, then a 2018 3.5EB... now im driving a 2020 3.5EB .... I tow, i daily drive... The Coyote is not a tow/hauling rig... it doesn't like to tow, even at sea-level with the 3.73 gears... my 3.5EB however will tow like nothing is there... heck i towed another truck on a trailer, and the EcoBoost will light up the tires with that trailer..... V6TT are the way to go... incredible capability and overall confidence

I guess I'm a little child

Your right for towing and fuel economy this thing is sweet but I don’t need that I need play trucks and RAM has the king of all play trucks 😆 and I am a little child as well 🤘

This is great thing about capitalism. If some people want it, other people can build it. Win win. And the haters can keep hating, which will make them happy as well.

Sucks to say but American cars trucks suck. Japanese is the only way to go.

Yea had a Nissan Frontier and that thing doesn’t break

I’ve been lucky with my GMC Sierra Denali HD Duramax. My three 2nd gen Tundras were great trucks but really needed a diesel to tow more weight.

Well said

I have a 2016 SR5 Crew Max. The value is unmatched and the resale is insane.

And that’s what the next guy will say when he is looking to buy it, it’s insane how much they want for it.

I got really lucky. 2 weeks ago I bought a 2015 1794 edition with 20,000 miles on it! One owner, garage kept. I don't think it can compare to the 2022, but man I love that truck!

Been buying my cars based on the “thunk” ever since I started watching sofyan lol

It will last 1million miles 💪‼️

And a brothel

😝

You forgot the plate sized Texas belt buckle.👍

Actually working ranch trucks are at least 3/4 ton if not a dually.

You should also be speaking spanish.

What you mean by that can you clarify?

@@Etapia562 A lot of infotainment features require an annual subscription for the NAV system (map updates) and apps (like the sirius radio stuff). It's just adding costs to owning a vehicle. Some things you may never use or want...

How did it feel .?

@@ay3514 Normally when we have pick up trucks as pace vehicles they can feel a little top heavy and sluggish...especially compared to some of the cars we are able to use...but I didn't experience those sensations this time. Quick out of the gate when I needed it to be and very stable when having to hustle it around on the flat portions of the track. Not exactly the same testing situations that most folks put these truck through...but for what we use them for it definitely lived up to my expectations...and then some!

@@kipchildress the truck is a must get for me . Redesigned and a twin turbo v6 . Out live me truck 😂

@@kipchildress all depends on pricing for me

A lot of people have skepticism over this new 3.5 TT but they have to remember that that engine has been in the LS since 2018 and that car is global. And now that same engine is in the Land Cruiser which is also global (excluding US). They wouldn't drop it into the tundra unless they thought it was bullet proof.

Toyota hybrid can be expected to last 200,000. Brand matters there.

The problem is that people think 200k miles are easy to get to. Turbos will eventually start to fail unlike the v8, its all motor. Highway miles on a family suv are different than a weekend RV Tow rig and an even bigger difference if you buy a work truck that tows every day of the week. Some of us don't need a HD truck from the big three depending on the line of work but that doesn't mean we don't need a reliable V8 truck. I bought a 2012 Toyota tundra new with the 5.7 and ever since we bought it its been our work truck to tow around all week. 350k miles Has never given me any problems what so ever. Hopefully the V8 makes a comeback someday!

@@ERIEL96abra ur truck had 350k miles!!?? I have 2015 tundra with only 70k miles.

Well Toyota is a Japanese base company, that is what he mean by that.

@B T i get that Toyota is a Japanese company. I never said it wasn’t. And a lot of the engineers are in the us too. I know a few people that work at the plant here in San Antonio. Lots of what goes into the tundra is purely American.

They only thing that really matters is where the profits go. Hint: it isn’t Texas. Duh.

@@JeepCherokeeful id rather have this tundra built in Tx employing Americans and parts made in USA than my Silverado built in Mexico by Mexicans with Chinese and Mexican built parts.

American assembled. Japanese engineered. Japanese built

I’m thinking the same. Praying for more power. I’ve got the 4th gen v8 right now, I would love to see around 300 hp and 400 lb feet of torque in the 4Runner. Fingers crossed

@@mattbrown942 about 320hp and nearly 400lb-ft with the hybrid 4runner, so yes it would

Yup. Me too

Are they gonna make it smaller, more like the 96-2002 4Runner. That would excite me, same with the Tacoma. I miss small trucks. The midsized trucks might as well be full-sized.

@@AnAbortiveRomance it'll be highlander sized, probably a bit shorter but wider and taller

It’s the same engine that’s been used in the Lexus LS 500 for a few years now. I’ve heard great things about them

See everyone argues reliability when you jump to a turbo engine… but my question is, diesels have had turbos for decades and we don’t question their reliability. Very aware diesels operate differently from gas, but the same engineering principals can apply to gas turbo engines. Who better to do that than Toyota, the king of QDR

@@throwingchamp611 Sure, but everytime you add more complexity and parts, there's always going to be higher chance of a failure. And some of the gas engine turbos in smaller cars are cheaper it seems and there definitely have been some failures. Not saying that applies in this case though.

Love it!

@@RickY-gp8gf Same here.

Slow hybrid tundra junk 5-6 seconds

@@lifeisshort4737 Thats plenty fast for a truck unless we're counting electrics. It's also more reliable than Found Off Road Dead F.O.R.D. or Government Motors G.M. garbage. Full sized petrol trucks are so expensive that Electrics start to make sense. Cybertruck gets 500 mile range and 1 hr charging. All the options that you need are standard too.

Old? Lol which part?

That's because of one word: reliability.

@@snakeeyes9246 all used cars are very expensive now, regardless of reliability

@@snakeeyes9246 Not going to lie my 2013 5.7 was a POS.

@@Bru946 How so? Just curious cause I have a 2010 and it's been so reliable I can't give it up.

@@snakeeyes9246 that you don’t know yet in case of 2022

When sales peter out at 100k annually while the Big 3 flirt with 800-900K annually you'll understand and then will be shocked with EV trucks serving the purpose of the weekender special!

Uhh slow down there champ

Now it has DI and Turbo, it will be as reliable as Ford Ecoboost, good for 80k miles then you spend every other week in the repair shopt

@@normt430 big 3 is 900k because they have 8 trucks ( “F series”), fleet sales, hill billy brand loyalty, import cannot sell to state, government or city fleets. Toyota has only 1 full size truck and has been rated #1 for reliability and resale, when in a class where there is only 1 truck (midsized) tacoma is #1 in sales, Toyota is #1 in sales for the entire world. Although tundra sales will always be lower being they go to 1 million miles on original motor and transmission

It will be years before the average joe can buy. Great marketing not so much on production. Try looking up the cert stats on the new Tundra, cant get mpg. How much bed capacity reduction with hybrid?

This is a TT V6. Makes more torque and HP with the potential to make event more with tuning and upgrades. The hybrid one makes almost turbo diesel like torque lol.

@@diambo4life yes but I keep my cars for very long time and a smaller engine with an turbo adds more pressure and wears out the engine faster, also will never sound like an v8 !

Good luck hahahahahaha

What I’m afraid of… I’ve had a twin turbod 3.5 truck before 😅 with a blue oval and the problems to match

Lexus will ditch the V8 as well. Pick one up while it last

If you have at least half of a brain, you’ll keep the Chevrolet…

@@dannymartel8754 Yeah I do love it. Been a great truck. I only owe 15k so yeah I will keep it.

1794 is 60k+ if you add the TRD package. TRD Pro is a higher trim so I expect high 60s.

the transmission on the Nissan vehicles are horrible.

Glad you aren't dickriding saying "it'll be reliable because Toyota designed it".

@@Jdogg4089 yeah the Toyota engines were actually copied off old domestic engines and then they overbuilt them and underpowered so they last. Simple is simple … when you turbo anything and add emission crap (by government force) you compromise the reliability. I’m sure Toyota will have less teething problems than the early ford ecoboosts because like Toyota did before they let domestics go first and figure out the problem then they copy. Hell the tundra 5.7 is a gm clone really. Those old gm 5.7 are reliable too

Really heartbroken Toyota didn't come back with a V8 option.

I bet it will

Maybe a couple but not from the work truck sector, just soccer dads.

Don't, I test drove it, it's junk. Poor fit and finish, it feels absurdly cheap inside. And it's literally out of date already. It falls short in so many categories it's unreal. You would have to be an idiot to purchase this outdated truck

@@xspower21 You sound like you have an ax to grind...way too emotional. I would never take advice from you.

@@dlg5485 your more than welcome to go buy one, and if you do I hope it works out, but I think anyone buying this truck is a complete tool box. Here is why I feel this truck is an absolute let down in almost every category except the torque rating in the new hybrid I-Force. And remember Toyota only does a major overhauls every 15yrs. Which is why by 2012-2013 the last Gen Trundra was becoming dated compared to other Trucks, so technically it's been outdated for the last 8yrs. When you objectively look at what this truck actually offers, it barely competes with 2020 models from the big 3. First, zero tow/recovery hooks? They literally have an off road package and countless people work on farms and or places where the terrain can be a problem. So it's not a question of if you get stuck, but when you get stuck. So clearly Toyota does not expect you to use your truck. Why is the payload so poor, the highest rating is around 1940lbs, and most trims it's closer to 1600, hell the Ford Ranger payload is 1904lb, and I get they went coilovers, but those have been around for decades, am I too believe they couldn't get better #'s, and this is a prime example of Toyota just getting current with 2020 models, nothing special or great here. Then there is the new V6, why is the gas mileage no better than the current V8s from Ford and Ram, the difference is nominal, so they fucked us there. Why does the most capable off road version loose all of its storage space in the cab to the batteries? When you're camping/off roading storage is a premium. Here was a prime opportunity for Toyota to be innovative in 2 different ways. First, they could have found a new place for the batteries, say under the truck/bed, maybe between the cab and bed?? Or get creative and design morage storage like RAM did with their power boxes built into the bed,or how about offering the basic V6 as a motor option? And they used old battery technology. Either way, zero innovation or creative was put into that area. How about the Tail gate being harder for egress/ingress then my 2011 model, and don't give me the bullshit mike sweers answer of " We didn't want to add complexity ". That's an utter lie, they added twin turbos to a motor and had to design extra cooling for it, that's the definition of complexity. Just another complete failure on Toyota's part. The last Gen has always had dim lighting in the truck, well guess what, it's still dark as hell inside the cab, apparently this was to tough for the engineers to fix. Why after all these years does that back seat still have the tunnel hump. Many people flip the seats up to store/haul/move more items around, and many of us have our dogs back there. It's a simple fix, but still too tough for Toyota to figure out I guess. The all new navigation is a train wreck and does not function well at all, even Toyota has semi had to admit it. Every one offers auto start, but Toyota wants a yearly subscription or they deactivate it, seriously? Why not just come out and say " We want to start ripping our customer bases off where ever possible" The interior feels more cramped even though it's supposed to be bigger inside. Why is the crawl control and 4wheel drive engagement right where we all spill our food and drinks, they had a ton of dash real-estate to put it somewhere that made more sense, but nope. Or how about the seats not being comfortable, it's hard and doesn't sit well at least not if your over 6ft and 200lbs, it might be fine for smaller men possibly. Now I only drove the limited but the interior felt low quality and cheap, like I was in an economy car . Vents were loose, seats had stitching issues, the center console slide was flimsy and loose. Everything just felt like it was going to fall apart in the first 3yrs or so ( maybe it was just a lemon ) but it was bad enough I went to another lot and it seemed about the same ( both were in limited trims ). Why on the TRD PRO are we forced into those cheap plastic fender guards, then on top on top of that, they used some cheesy camo print, I'm not a 25yr kid, at least give me options on a 70k plus truck to look like an adult. And that plastic always fades real quick and inturn makes the truck look crappy, the cheap camo print just exacerbates that issue, and hell I don't want those cheesy cheap camo prints seat, WTF? Now I understand looks are an opinion, but Holy Tosh.0 it's obnoxiously ugly, the grill is so large the plastic looks like that cheap plastic used to hold your socket set you buy from home depot. And why so much chrome. That has not been popular for well over a decade, is the Toytota team that out of date?? The truck looks almost identical to a gmc from the middle of the front door and back, apparently taking time to design their own truck was too much, it was easier to rip off the work GMC put in. In person the truck feels weak and feeble.There are a few other things like visibility out the front window due the rake which makes it worse then the last Gen, and I could keep going but I'm sure you get the point. As a die hard Tundra guy who was going to buy new TRD PRO in 2019, I waited for the complete overhaul. It's sadly disappointing that we can't point to anything that outshines what's offered on 2020 models from the other manufacturers. Toyota literally just got current and barely does that. Essentially this truck is brand new but outdated already. Toyota should be completely embarrassed by this truck.

@@xspower21 Whether I buy one or not will be based on my own research, not random internet commentary.

I think the reason why it gets worse MPG on the highway probably has to do with the rear axle ratio I'm not sure what rear axle ratio the new Toyota tundra has 🤔 also there could be other factors as to why it gets slightly worse MPG as well and what Toyota could have done is they could have added their d4s technology and a higher compression ratio as well to their 5.7 I also looked up a 2021 ford f150 rwd double cab with the 3.5l Ecoboost and it gets 17 city 24 highway

Wow those numbers are beyond disappointing. Ford outdoing Toyota

~35% increase in fuel economy 17mpg average vs 23mpg average is still some savings if you drive a lot. however i do agree i wasn't hoping for something near 30mpg since the Sienna is able to get 35-40mpg
