2022 Tundra

I’d buy one but the the glaciers are all melting I won’t contribute

 

Multiply the kW by 1.3 to get HP. Maybe the Tundra get this engine

 

Nobody here has said anything about not buying a Tundra because of global warming. I do not care about your politics or belief system because I am here to get information on the 2022 Tundra because I am interested in buying one.

 

Sure the Tundra will totally get a hand built engine from a LMP1 class endurance race car. I mean why wouldn’t Toyota want to put a $150,000 engine in a production truck?

 

They’d want to so they could beat Ford obviously !

 

Well I have to concede that is a worthy goal.

Just imagine the poor driveline needing to put up with that kind of torque in low gears with a load on or behind the truck.

 

Don’t piss on the man’s dreams. It’s really not necessary.

 

It’s a great dream I will admit.

 

Don't forget that it would need an engine rebuild at every oil change too.

 

Those LMP1 engines are pretty damn tough, we’d all probably be surprised how long one will last with good maintenance and not being flogged every second of its life.

 

If it weren’t a Toyota I would agree. I have more faith in them than The alternatives.

 

Duh, how else does Toyota dominate the 1/2 ton market???

 

Well that would “blow you away” not that the particular quote has any validity.

 

Puts out 900+ HP in race configuration, de-tune it down to 650 and it'll last quite a while. And do electric motors need to be de-tuned the same amount as ICE engines? Because if not that hybrid drive would be a 250 HP boost on it's own. I'm sure they'd take it down to extend battery life, but a truck could take a lot more batteries than a LMP would.

I find it a lot of fun to check out the racing world for what tech could be upcoming. Ford learned a ton running their EcoBoost type engines in their race cars. And it's fun that the Toyota LMP has a 3.5 V6TT, just like the rumored Tundra will have.

 

I doubt I'll ever own a '22. My '20 is so effing good and hoping to drive it 20+ years.

 

I’m gonna drive my 2020 till my son can take it from me in ten years then I will consider my options.

 

Yep same here I’d only consider switching away from Toyota if my payload needs change. 3/4 or 1 ton am just haul a toy hauler travel trailer and do off-roading with a buggy or something maybe a little pit bike. Those are fun

 

this is pretty good news as far as the chip shortage and 2022 Tundra:

That is a bad ass race car for sure, interesting though that the rules don't allow more than 500KW of power to be used at any one time, so the car is programmed to use whatever source is most advantageous at the moment.

Did i miss something? what does this have to do with the 2022 Tundra?

 

Go back a page, it’s a slightly off topic discussion.

 

I wonder if that doesn’t speak to the margins on those two products…

 

I personally loved the Quicksand and then when they cut that I was looking at Cav blue and Voodoo blue but the ol' lady said she saw an Army Green and thought it looked good. My only concern is I remember the 90's when green was really popular. The Bonneville was green with gold trim and a tan interior but that did not age well. Do you think you will still like the Army Green in 10-20 years? Cause I think after my refinance I am going to pull the trigger on a new truck and hopefully I can get 20 years out of it like my current Tundra.

 

As of now I plan on keeping my 21 LunaRock. If I decide to buy one I will wait at least 3 years and then maybe.

 

TMMTX (San Antonio plant) will not make the tacoma anymore. It was pushed to Mexico to increase tundra production at TMMTX. It is made in TMMBC and TMMGT. I think as of now this has already happened but don't know for sure....

 

3.5l V6 TT hybrid in that race car. 3.5l V6 TT hybrid rumored to be in the 2022 Tundra. Easy to see where Toyota is testing the tech that'll end up in their road vehicles.

 

FYI

 

I wonder if it will come standard with Amsoil.
