Official 2022 Tundra 3rd Gen Thread

Wha?! That was fast

Not as fast as front bumper manufacturers lol

Can't wait to see my favorite configuration, CMLB, with a cap

 

Well, thankfully some of us are willing to pony up and be the guinea pigs. Also, if there's issues based on this being my 5th Toyota product I feel pretty about Toyota making things right. Classic risk/cost/benefit analysis. I don't hate those that disagree.

The 2022 Tundra TRD Pros aren’t going to arrive until 2023?! That can’t be accurate, can it?

I love my ‘21 more and more every day, glad I was able to snag one when I could. 3rd Gen looks good maybe I’ll buy a new 2024 in 2026?

So long as you know what you are getting yourself into and are happy with that, good on you. You help the product, and the rest of us.

 

Guys I'm really impressed with eco mode











late April Fools.. just resetted while going downhill

 

Ha, what is your average mpg?

 

Lol its more like 19 hwy now with 35s. Around city its about 17+

 

Just right now, I tried to config a Hybrid 1974 TRD Off Road just for fun



When I tried to add a TRD front skid, it says it'll remove the TRD Off Road package.
??? Isn't that kind of contradicting? What's up with that?

The TRD Off Road package doesn't include the TRD skid plate by the way. The skid plates that come standard with the package are the tin can & fiberglass/plastic ones

 

I don't believe that the configurator is 100% accurate. This is an accessory anyway so wouldn't be a problem to add, but I get your point - it's odd that this would replace the TRD OR package.

 

Maybe it's just a problem with the site, most likely

I just wanted to add the skid just for funsies. If I really did get myself a sweet 3rd gen, I'd equip it with RCI steel or even ask BAMF to make a 1/4" steel set

 

4k with some upgrades.

 

Wonder what this 2023 delay for the Pro means for the Sequoia since they are only available as hybrids.

 

The new skid plates are actually something like a ballistic nylon. Tim (Pickup talk plus SUV) talk with Mike Sweers about it and it's a pretty cool tech for the average buyer who will only hit things like a turkey (they ding up a standard 2007-21 plate pretty well - first hand knowledge of that one) or sandy/muddy ruts. Of course for rocks I'd want more - the nylon flexes so I could see a rock pushing far enough to possible bend the metal components in behind.

 

Does The optional TRD skid plate offer any catalytic convertor coverage for theft deterrence on the 2022 ?

 

This is a gorgeous truck. I have been waiting for the new Sequoias as I am moving on from having a truck but seeing this has me rethinking my decision.

 

Negative

 

None whatsoever!

 

I don't see how those wheels turn

I don't believe so. I've seen a post here in one of the forums where someone added another skid plate behind this one to cover the cats for theft prevention. Seems like a good idea particularly if you put a lift on which makes it that much easier for the criminals to access them.

 

Since he has this for a week, it will be interesting to get his MPG impression of the hybrid system.

 

damn, YouTuber privilege must be nice hahaha

 

I was bummed when I climbed underneath my $60,000 truck and saw a black plastic skid plate.

 

It’s not plastic

 

It’s ballistic nylon for fuck sake lol

 

pew pew
