2022 Tundra

Millennials in the Marketing department?

 

Think of it as family gossip............ Everyone hates the 'new' addition, especially if it is a replacement ;-)

 

Love the analogy! So fricken' true!

 

I’m wavering on getting the new Ultimate Denali and just got a call from my Toyota dealership today. Maybe they sensed it?

On second thought that can’t be possible Toyota doesn’t have tech sophisticated enough for that. Haha

 

Buddy just got a new ski-doo, I think it’s a Polaris or could be one of those two stroke yamaha ski-doos.

 

It says a lot about society if Toyota did extensive research studies to determine the best truck for todays market and came up with this. I couldn't imagine putting in my typical work day of pouring concrete, or laying block walls, then hop into one of these to drive home covered in dirt & cement dust. How about loading a pallet of cement into that bed ??? . . . I'd lose my mind.
I guess this is the perfect truck for a high-paid 'Tech-Worker' working from home, who sports a beard and throws on a weekend flannel to play the part . . . especially after it's been rigged as an 'Overlander' for 'Glamping'.
Sad days indeed.

 

God forbid it be one of the Bombardier ski-doos

 

This ain't nothin'! You should have been on the Jeep Forum when they killed the Inline 4.0 for a *gasp* V-6 mini-van motor! in the new Wrangler.

This crowd is pretty accepting of the changes in comparison.

 

Honestly the new Denali looks awesome IMO and I would drive one with the 6.2 in it. BUT, the main reason I buy Toyota is for their reliability even though they are usually way behind the curve with their trucks.
The new gen hasn’t proven anything however.

 

Yes, sad days indeed. So many Nancy's with so much to complain about.... are you sure you are'nt sporting a 'man' bun?

 

Did we determine if the payload is high enough to hold a man bun?

 

That Denali Ultimate...man what a BEAUT! I had to watch a video on it and was seriously contemplating it until I looked down and saw how many likes the video had (see photo)...........yeah, It's definitely a sign......backing away slowly....

 

Funny from the specs on this truck it’s basically built for millennials.

 

Most half tons are going this direction or have already went. I believe all manufacturers think that if you really need a truck for work, you’re going to go up to a super duty. Half tons are the SUV replacement for families.

 

Don't disagree but starting at $81k...... There will probably be a few add ons and will be pushing $90k after taxes! Long term that price will come down, but I know dealers locally won't go below MSRP on that truck......

 

Yeah, it says that most of society doesn’t spend a typical work day pouring concrete and laying block walls. How do so many people seem to be surprised by this?

 

I don't always manage to get a tag, but when I do, the Tundra will fit a dead moose (both in capacity and length) just fine. I don't work in tech, the beard itches the heck out of my neck, and I prefer camo, although flannel does feel nice on the skin.

 

Surely you don't do these things in your current Tundra, with it's lower HP/torque/payload than the '22...

I wish it had 2k lbs of payload, and I'll keep my 2nd gen for a long time, but the '22 is still an improvement in almost every way over the current truck.

 

Oh. Yeah. Not like boomers have ever fucked anything up.

*Gestures broadly*

 

Welcome This forum is usually pretty chill..but there have been some strong opinions lately! There is still a lot of good info..

Literally spit my drink out…

 

No tow hooks on 1/2 tons trucks is a trend? I guess call a tow truck. Sounds very millennial.

 

I was thinking the same thing as a pallet of cement is 3000 plus lbs. Sounds like he needs to be more concerned on what the big three are rolling out for 3/4 tons.

 

Nope . . . I'm just a 'Scrub' . . . Very happy w/ my Gen-1 . . . .

 

The payload is, but the head room will be tight depending on the size of your bun.

 

nothing against you just using your pic, this is just a generalization.

funny how people love the looks of this truck and no one complains about the dam chromed front grille, but you put a chrome front grille on a tundra and everyone goes nuts saying how ugly it is.


i mean this grille looks like the old 2.5 gen chrome grille with the slates.

 

So the ‘22 is perfectly capable of what you use your truck for.

That’s a nice clean 1st Gen by the way.

 

Not from the factory, to color match you will need to go after market. This has been done for awhile now with the 2nd gens.

The chrome is their “darkened chrome” at least. I can’t stand chrome, it is my number 1 objection to that truck (and the new tundra).
I talked to the Toyota dealer yesterday about their allotment and at the end of the day if I’m going to spend $60k+ I want no damn chrome and will wait if I have to.

Plus with Pro, Raptor R and AT4X all within $10k of each other it will be an interesting market.
