Official 2022 Tundra 3rd Gen Thread

mostly for me its his voice, just makes me grind my teeth trying to listen to him.

ymmv

 

Pretty great find of a lunar rock SRS TRO edition!!

 

Silverado ZR2 vs TRD Pro offroading.

Question - It's my understanding that the Toyota stock product is the same. If my understanding is correct, does that also mean there's a 3-6 month delay for customer allocations (in my case Advanced Package) also? Thanks for the info.

 

I have reached out to our rep at AMP and I will let you know what information they provide on this!

 

Well I did this today smh. Apparently the dealers sell touch up paint pens so I’m hoping I can mask it somewhat when I’m able to swing by and pick one up.

 

OUCH! Sucks dude. Sorry

 

what was the verdict?

 

Exactly what you'd expect from youtubers. A lot of talking about irrelevant stuff, a basic overview of the two trucks for a lot longer than needed and then a "it depends on your needs".

 

Yep. Seems like they often shy away from any real criticism because they’re gettin paid.

 

By the looks of it, the Chevy has better approach, departure and ground clearance, the Tundra made it over all obstacles but not as confidently as the Chevy...and if the Chevy gets stuck the tow hooks are present.

 

AMP has said they do not make those OEM electric steps, so I do not have any update on the lead time for those.

 

That sucks. Garage door hit it?

 

Yeah. It’s a tight fit with my wife’s car and the truck and I was trying to balance not hitting her door and carrying groceries in my other hand while getting out. Unfortunately I somehow activated the tailgate release on the remote in my pocket while getting out literally at the exact time the garage door was closing by the tailgate. Ended up smashing against it several times and honestly I’m surprised this was all that came from it.

 

Goes without saying but make sure you double check your truck has everything listed on your spec sheet you paid for. Houston Toyota dealers are requiring customers to pay for cat shields pre-installed yet I just realized my truck never actually had it put on when I purchased it. Pretty dumb of me to wait almost 3 months to check and realize but I’m glad I noticed it. Of course now I’m dealing with the run-around and excuses from them but I find it funny how they do a full inspection of the truck prior to handing the keys and not one person mentioned anything to me about it considering I was forced to pay for it.

 

They compare vehicles in the same conditions to provide the viewer some education. They offer opinions, but what I've seen is only fanboys that have an agenda of their own complain about their comparison tests.

 

Ok buddy, let's do this. It's a 24 minute and 59 second video. It's literally 12 minutes before the first "test" and I'll agree that they take both trucks through the same course, I have no problem with any of that. But the video is titled "ZR2 vs TRD Pro: which one wins?" And the question I answered here was "what was the verdict?"

There was no verdict, the 24:55 second mark has the only thing close to one which is "they're both really good pizza, it's all about preference."

If you want to go worship some YouTube truck guys that's cool man, I think it's weird but you do you. But don't pretend there was some revelation in this comparison or that we have some "agenda".

 

So what's the deal with Toyota's mid year change from Super White to Ice Cap? Is it the same color>? Still single stage paint?

 

Dude, the object of comparison videos is to present facts about the vehicle specs then show comparison testing. Very simple concept, Journalism 101.

* This is what we're driving.
* This is what happened driving them.

Very simple concept, the object is to present facts to the viewer for education.

 

Finally found a pro for msrp + 2k dealer adds. good enough.

 

Awesome for you! Let me know how it compares to our other truck model we share in common.

 

Checked a few Monroney stickers for different vehicles and paint code for Ice Cap/Super White is the same 0040.

 

Solar octane? Congrats.

 

Yes solar. But would trade for lunar lol

 

So it’s just a marketing thing. Super white has had a bad rap so it gets a redo with ice cap lol

 

from what i remember, most toyota white colors never have a clear coat no matter what they call it or rename it.

but then again i only pick certain colors for myself.

silver maybe red if i am really desperate.

but the spouse always goes blue no matter what.

 

I’m next at a semi-local dealer for a Pro… Lunar is my #1 also… Going to be super disappointed if I finally get the call and it’s white or black…

 

when I saw the change a few weeks ago I was hoping for something new like the Ice Edge, but nope

 

Anybody know why on toyota.com I can build a Tundra with the WCP (Wind Chill Pearl) exterior color and get 'advanced package with options' some days (last Friday) and today toyota.com won't allow me to build with that color? I've been waiting for an allocation since March 14th and wonder if that's could be contributing to my delay? Their way of throttling based on their production build supplies and parts or their way of throttling based on inventory? Both? Something else?
