2022 Tundra

iForce MAX hybrid with 30+mpg would be sweeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttttttttttttttt

 

8 images, first one released. if toyota release an image every 2 weeks that put us at reveal time of about september, sounds about right for the reveal date. but it sucks how long toyota is taking to release info on new truck.

 

Pretty much. I won't say I won't get one, but they're going to look like damn fools if they get up to September and.....

"TADAAA! A....Toyota Ecoboost!"

 

Is that firewall in the background the same color as that new lime Tacoma TRD Pro paint option ?

 

looks Orange to me. Where are you seeing lime?

 

if that is like inferno trd pro from previous years , its not for me. i would go with rather black or mgm, it would be easy decision not to go trd pro then

 

Caveat, I'm colorblind so they be looking similar.

 

Folks are saying that’s the color used to identify high voltage under the hood and also the “Max” has a blue outline which would suggest a hybrid

 

Maybe 4 today, 4 tomorrow, and reveal on thursday

 

thats way too fast for Toyota, lol.

 

yesh but you missed "coming soon" part lol

 

"soon" is relative. lol

I gotta tell ya though, that's a nice looking engine cover. It'll hold my quarts of oil nicely after I'm out of free dealer oil changes.

 

Nothing new but saw this , this am.
It’s a mash of mostly old Tundra photos. but maybe just maybe?

 

looks like a tow hook thats so buried under the truck its useless

 

I’d say that looks like a 2nd Gen front end. I may be wrong though

 

Looks like it has the clearance of a car… with raptor lights

 

I thought the same but then i googled. It's different.

 

I can't wait for them to release so we can get all of the bashing over with and then in 14 years everyone will love it and not want the next Gen to be released.

 

It will go the same as the third gen Tacoma. lots of bashing. Lots of guys saying the sales will tank and then guys will buy one, talk trash, sell it, buy a duramax and stick around just to talk trash about how bad it is. They will say how bad the reliability is. ThIs iS a cAr eNgInE. Oh, and it will probably sell more than current Tundra ever did.

 

An 11 speed would be an improvement.

 

I found this image from an autoblog article about the 2022 Land Cruiser. It was posted last week.

The engine cover shape looks pretty similar to the one in the Tundra press release. Looks like the news is about a TT-V6.

Maybe we can bolt two of them in series and have a quad turbo V12.

Can I spot what's coming? Yeah. More street tires and flimsy skid plates on "Offroad" trim trucks. Although that image looks like an awful lot like a 2nd gen front end.

 

It does look similar, but the LC badge on top says "twin turbo" where the tundra "I-Force Max". I'd guess the Max is just the hybrid version, but who knows

 

Here's one from another angle posted the same day on autoevolution, but it's a lower resolution rendering from a graphics program. The other image is likely also a graphics program rendering, just higher resolution.

You can tell that it's a rendering because the power steering pump is missing, but the belt still follows the same path as if it's still there.

You forgot the rampant speculation that Toyota threw the design together last minute, and will replace the complete failure of a powertrain within 5 years or lose all sales....

 

Yeah. I think the relevant part of the comparison is that the engine is likely a V6 since the basic size and shape of the two covers are so similar.

 

PLUS they copied Ford.

I have to admit I chuckle at that one. Apple gets accused of copying Android all the time....I mean, it's working out fairly well for them. *le shrug*

Someone said somewhere that "I don't just want a Toyota copy of an Ecoboost but with reliability." Actually....while sure, I'd like more HP/TQ (who the hell wouldn't?), that is EXACTLY what I want. A TT V6, but without having to buy a Ford? Yes please.
