Official 2022 Tundra 3rd Gen Thread

Or the Plain SR5, which only has chrome on the emblems.

 

I'm leaving the fender flares and tail gate. I'm going to paint match a new mustache (not painting over chrome) and get the TRD grille or the TRD pro grille.

 

@War Machine posted pics of an all new Platinum Sequoia at the Houston auto show. It had no chrome. All gloss black or body color. Absolutely Beautiful..

No clue why they styled the truck so much worse than the SUV.

 

That is incorrect. It has the same dark chrome that the Platinum Tundra has.

 

Tried to go to his profile but it’s not there. What happened to WM?

 

@War Machine post: 2613642, member: 8939"]Saw it yesterday. Looks beautiful.

 

10 out of 10, would drive

 

god damn. I feel like that's what the Tundra could look like with paint matching. I don't need 3 rows so I'll prob get this when it comes out

 

It's a prototype, I'm sure Toyota will find some way to fuck up the styling by launch.,

 

Thats what i meant to say, but it doesnt matter. Ive never seen an LT tire with a recrecomended door sticker psi at 35. Also to the left of the psi , where it states the size, it doesnt have LT in front of the number, so that tells me its more than likely a p rated tire.

 

after seeing the new tree, we are seriously considering it over the tundra, but pricing will be the main issue. if its not too much over the platinum non hybrid we might go this route.

the 3rd row config is the biggest gripe we have, the fold down seats is not the best configuration for our purpose since we would never use the 3rd row.

heck i dont even have a 3rd row in my 4runner and i had to special order it without a 3rd row.

 

makes me want to start a family just to fill in the vehicle space

 

My wife wants a sequoia and the new one has her all giddy. My guess though is the SR5 will start at $60k and climb up to $80+k for a platinum/ pro

 

Yalls buddy put out a new video. Ive been waiting for him get stuck without tow hooks to see if he can get pulled out without breaking something. Looks like in this situation, he can get pulled from the back hitch

Every time I see a new video from him, I think about his truck....

 

At least He’s giving us a good test on how much it will take. So if it last at least a couple years with him without breaking, then then it will probably last 20 yrs with the average person lol

 

This is true. At least no one can claim he doesn't go "full send" with his truck. He's got it stuck multiple times, ripped panels on the approach & departure angles, high-centered it a few times, pin-striped it, and has a huge dent in the rear DS door from off-roading it. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed but he's got guts...and sometimes guts is enough. lol.

 

Yeah they’re all P tires except maybe the small 18” and the TRD Pro 18”. Tire Rack has all the OEM tires listed already.

 

I think I would rather stare at a tree trunk

 

Same!

 

My wife would love a new Sequoia, and at this point given how marginal I find the packaging, options, and pricing on the new Tundra if we buy another Toyota she might just get her way.

The Sequoia is a better large SUV for us than most of the competition from what I see. The Tundra is a middling 1/2 ton pickup truck compared to the competition for what I’m looking for though.

 

Im thinking the pro has p rated also, which if true, is crazy for what this "off road" truck cost.

 

Yeah my wife just went through the photos and said to just keep the F150 until the seq comes in.

 

yeah sadly i think you are right. if we go by the price increase of the 21 vs 22 tundra platinum, thats about 7.5k, then add another 3.5k for the hybrid and the 22 sequoia plat @ 66.5k will push close to 80k. 66.5k + 7.5k markup (from 22 to 23 MY) + 3.5k hybrid = 77.5k w/o 1 option or additional pkg.

current 22 sequoia platinum is 66.5k

 

hopefully this is where the consolidated engine, chassis and assembly can get us some savings. 80k is a hard pass for me on it.

 

yeah talked with the wife again, she's ok with staying with our original plan of a non hybrid platinum tundra.

 

these are the TRD Pro tires, LT285/65R18: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tire...Toyota&autoModel=Tundra+TRD+Pro&autoYear=2022

 

This was physically hard to watch.

Don't worry about him breaking something. He already ripped off the front bumper in an earlier video.

 

i
I doubt pro comes with that tire you posted. They are Fallon wildpeaks of the same size but the oem’s are p rated and the aftermarket ones are usually better and LT. From what I understand, tire companies usually have a contract with manufactures to make a lightweight low cost tire with their name on it. For example this size wildpeak in p rated is only found on a factory pro. If you try to get that same tire from a tire dealer, then it will be an lt likr the one you posted.
On a side note, I bought a new f150 back in 2004 that came factory with LT tires and it was just a regular 4x4, and not some fancy hyped op off road truck.
