Official 2022 Tundra 3rd Gen Thread

Shoot…if he does someone will be there to get those forged rims (hopefully) at a reduced price

 

I was told by the dealer I bought my 21 at that 22 TRD Pros are “sold out” and cannot be ordered as they are already allocated. That they have to wait for 2023 to order and that would be around August. Does that sound right?

 

yes

 

I'm not sure about the TRD Pros but I was told Toyota will open up special orders again for June. Could be total BS though.

 

No.

It doesn't sound right but it could be true, we just don't know for sure. The dealer might have been told the same thing and might not be lying. The factory might feel the same but things can change and supplies could ease up for various reasons. If they put you off and you buy a car next year (especially if you commit to it NOW with THEM) then they've put you on a shelf that guarantees them a sale down the line. If some trucks free up and end up available, they're not going to call you and ask you if you want it, they're going to sell it to someone fresh who just walked in and keep you on the shelf for next year. Win/win.

 

they would like $1000 deposit when ordered but asked I waited until closer to time when they had better timeline for 2023s.

 

I would keep my options open and NOT get in bed with any dealer on vague future promises, especially crossing the model year when they basically just got started with this model year. Things change and sometimes rapidly. This truck is popular here on the forum but less so out in the world. Waiting lists will be abandoned by some and demand will wane all the while Toyota will be churning them out as fast as they can. With some products we're quickly going from a short supply to a surplus, it can happen to anything INCLUDING these trucks.

 

isnt may/june the switch over month for assembly lines for model years since the fiscal year starts in may?

edit: my bad, based on SEC filing, fiscal year is April 1 through March 31


wonder why they dump all those promotions in april instead of march? or do they try to kick start the fiscal year instead.

 

Will a RC 1.75 level kit fit a 2022 tundra TRD sport? These guys at the shop I’m at are turning me away saying they can’t figure out a solution to get it sit flush and I’m really thinking it’s due to their inexperience with the model and not the truck.

has anyone got this done for their truck and can provide comment?

 

That 1.75” won’t level it but have a nice stance with rake.

 

Maybe to better clarify they are saying they can’t even get it on at all saying the suspect the suspension type is the same as a TRD pro so they have now put everything back to stock and turning me away. According to RC website I don’t see how it wouldn’t work

 

i think the RC kit needs the bolts trimmed for it to work. Kinda Mickey Mouse setup

 

Speed limiters ? say what ….

Not sure what you were trying to say with the Chevy link.

You can set speed limits in the Toyota app though.

 

just a little surprised, we never had that when i was a wee’lil lad an we survived just fine

 

I got these on a trip home yesterday. Took it straight to the dealer, they said the CEL isn’t flashing so it’s fine to drive and set me up with an appt for Wednesday.

 

don't mind the 2 different shades of white, i dunno how to fix that

 

Way better

 

Whenever I see this picture, only see a Bigger Toyota Tacoma
Is it just me ?.

 

Sorry but it just looks like an overweight Tacoma. I've grown to love the big grille and overall Tundra front. Especially in person the TRD and TRD pro grilles make it look great.

 

I see it too.

 

It's growing on me as it will on many but it won't ever be as good looking as the 2021 (and that was already in 4th place).

 

Agree, I think the massive grill looks great!

 

I had an 07/08/13/20 and I thought they were all butt ugly. The 2022 looks much better. YMMV.

 

I think that is a good thing. The Tacoma is a great looking truck

 

Yup…it’s grown on me too.

 

The CEL isn’t flashing ???

Int that the CEL icon in the botttom right side of the message or is there a difference in a solid CEL vs a pulsing/flashing one (if that’s a thing)?

Not trying to be facetious here…just inquiring.

 

I like the 2014-2021s far more than the 2007-2013s. Those are butt ugly.

 

Flashing CEL usually means misfire and can cause engine damage if you keep driving. Best to stop and tow. Had seen it happen to my grandfather 2012 f150 Lariat and it was a cracked spark plug.

 

Oh ok…Thanks
