Official 2022 Tundra 3rd Gen Thread

This is tow mirror only. Button to the right is to extend the mirror. Not sure what goes in that button spot on standard mirror equipped models.

 

i guess you didnt read the quote i had in that response.

right now toyota is NOT doing allocations since they are sending what they want to dealers without dealers having a say in what they want.

i was explaining how allocations work since the person i quoted didnt seem to understand the process.

edit: there is more involoved in the allocation process than just going into dealer daily and checking the boxes for trims/options. after you do that the request is sent to the regional port and they either approve it or reject it based on if that regional port will be getting that config.

 

Wow that's only $20K over

 

I read what you quoted because I wrote it. Dealers are getting whatever Toyota sends, which is an allocation. There may be some method to receiving preferred trims/options down the road, but that is still an allocation compared to what would be considered a true “built to order” method.

 

From what I've seen you would need a 3mm spacer up front.

 

All good

 

Well ... yeah, his wife will then LOVE it if some idiot comes along and buys it for anything close to that! Nothing says "value retention" like an extra previous owner on a title! NOT!

 

That did the trick, Thanks for the reminder

 

How tf can the hybrid be less than the non? There's no way that could happen. That would be a flop.

 

More powah!

The first Accord Hybrid was similar....V6 engine plus hybrid, fastest Accord you could get, and disappointing MPGs too!

 

But the pro was slower than the raptor wasn't it? And the non hybrid beat the raptor on 37's.

 

Hybrid batteries are heavy, which costs mpg. For the Jeep Wrangler hybrid, for example, most customers buy for extra torque (for climbing rocks), not for gas milage. For the manufacturer, it helps them meet emission and other standards irrespective of mpg.

 

that number is for combined, non hybrid is 19-20 if I remember correctly.

 

Was asking about whether a 35” spare will fit under the truck in the spare location. Has anyone tried/seen it?

 

That’s freaking lame.

 

I'll wait for the official release but if rumors are true there's no value in the hybrid for my build of 4x4 platinum. Lower payload, lower tow and 2mpg difference.

 

I think the hybrid will have a couple mpg better in the city. But I’d rather have the hybrid for towing. I think it will be a beast at towing an 9000 lbs airstream or similar.

 

If you want to tow 9K travel trailers, buy a 3/4 ton. You will be far happier.

 

X2, at 9k the tongue weight you will have with that trailer you'll hardly have any payload left.

 

does anyone know how Toyota lowers the TRD Spot suspension. I believe it is .5" lower

 

That is disappointing. All Toyota could achieve was 7 hp and 13lb-ft more than Ford, but 3mpg less efficient. Plus the Ford is faster, hauls more, tows more, and can double as a generator. Oh and costs less.

LAME.

 

Not to mention the horrible wind load (though a small saving grace for it being an Airstream). Airstreams are light to begin with so to get up to 9K pounds, it's probably a mile long with triple axles too.

 

Or it could be that the Ford was just built and designed more efficient

 

It’s pretty clear Toyota has gone the cheapest route possible in development of the Tundra.

Tundra is an afterthought product that Toyota makes only because Toyota NA pestered them to. So they half ass it.

 

Until the low capacity battery under the back seat gets drained from pulling 9000 pounds up a grade like a beast

 

Sounds like a stupid gimmick.

 

Maybe, but it isn't a 'first' to Toyota's Lexus brand. My wife's RX350 has it.

 

The gas engine makes plenty of torque for high speed cruising and climbing grades. The battery won’t drain. What will be great is the extra acceleration from 100 extra lb-ft.

 

Meh, 3/4 ton is only useful for those who tow more frequently. Even my non-hybrid Tundra tows that weight effortlessly.

 

it's a first for body on frame Toyota vehicles
