    What would be the issue? It's the same size as a standard HD truck. Once you drive them a bit you don't notice that much of a difference with the foot - unless it means the difference of fitting into a garage or not

    Looks. 100% looks. It'll fit in the garage fine. I tow fairly often so longer wheelbase would be nice. We'll see.

    I think our wonderful govt we have and Cafe regs killed the smaller wheelbase variants. Regular cab trucks cannot meet the mpg spec for the wheelbase so they get axed.

    100% with you on heated. Funny thing, I test drove a 1794 when I was shopping for my SR5, it had the cooled seats. Probably just my warped first impression but it actually felt wet to me, like I pissed myself or something- didn’t exactly sell me on the upgrade I’m sure the dealer was hoping for haha. Haven’t tried since but mostly cause I’m cheap and don’t want to like it

    I get that - a 6.5' CC F150 looks weird. Just don't see many so it looks off. If the 6.5' CM is easily available on lots it'll become normal to look at.

    To me, short beds look "off" because I see that I can't lay in the bed with the tailgate closed.
    It's an important criteria for us, we have a fiberglass capper and go off-road and camping.
    My current truck has a 5'7" bed and we need to use a special SUV tent to enclose the open back.

    I'd be in what he calls camp 3 as well, but his dipshit comments like "Please note that camp #3 has no actual members" are why I never see anything he says unless somebody quotes him. There's a difference between good natured ribbing, humor, jokes, and being an arrogant douchebag.

    LOL, that's only because there are so many 5.5 foot bed models around. The 5.5 foot beds are what look weird!

    What do you consider mid-level? Limited? That's not available in DC with the TRD Off Road package?

    100%. AND how many people complain about the tacomas motor after putting taller E rated tires on it with heavier wheels?

    The double storage area in the dash is what they did on the new model Highlander. They made it even cooler with a dim light in the underside of the indentation. Not too bright but just enough to add light in the storage area.

    I'm not a Toyota truck guy, so I don't know the trims, but here's what I think is mid-level:

    Power windows, locks, mirror
    Integrated brake controller
    Cloth seats
    4wd, bonus for AWD (GM has AWD available on mid-level trucks)
    Rear locker
    Skid plates
    LED exterior lighting (our 2020 Corolla SE HB is all LED exterior, on a $20k car)

    Single zone HVAC, no need for heated seats.
    Rear roll down window would be nice, but don't know if it's available on king cab/extended cab models

    I assume you're talking about the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks? If so, that couldn't be further from the truth here in Texas. Yes there's the base work trucks rolling around, but there's also a ton of Denali's, King Ranch, Laramie trucks used as work/farm trucks.

    It is frustrating though to see the 1/2 ton market cater to the folks that don't use the truck at all. Somewhere along the way the truck market shifted to luxury and people flocked to it instead of continuing to buy mercedes, bmw, etc.

    The stuff in bold is all either standard on any trim Tundra, or added with the TRD Off Road Package on any trim it is added to.

    That's an SR5 TRD Off Road, which is definitely available in DC. (Obviously, I don't know if that still still be true for the 2022.)

    that's pretty cool, and the way the middle of the passenger dash flares out to the center stack area looks similar to the Tundra spy shot to my eye.

    It will look just like the landcruiser 300, it’s a Toyota they build one thing and used in a few models

    As I get older, I would especially appreciate the ability to store my meds in the dash like in your pic. I wonder if it’ll have the option of adding one of those “days of the week” med sorters..? ;)
    Seriously though, as stated above, more storage is hardly ever a bad thing.

    Yea, it’s nice. The Highlander is a nice ride as we travel south for vacation. It’s also nice getting 32 mpg even with a large cargo box on the roof rack.

    We just got the wife a 2020 Highlander and as much as I thought I'd hate the busy interior...I actually like it. The multiple storage 'shelves' are actually cool as hell. If they've done anything similar with the 2022 Tundra, I'll have to give it a look.

    I wanted a faster vehicle so I also bought a Chevy SS... because 4 door sedans with big V8’s are hilarious.
    LOL. Camp 3 is either very quiet or there are only a small handful on here. I’m mostly in that camp too, but the longer Toyota holds out on info the more I lean into camp 1.

    I tried to leave camp 3, as I put it, out of the ribbing, but since I should spread the ribbing equally; camp 3 members will over analyze every minor detail so long that a decision to buy or not buy will never be made.

    Its the transmission and gearing on the tacoma that makes it feel so sluggish, it actually can be pretty quick but the trans programming is holding it back. I fear we may see the same thing with the new Tundra.

    Yeah I do think my CM bed looks kind of goofy from certain angles. Still meets my needs overall better than a DC. It’s my daily driver. I haul lots of gear for work that needs to be climate controlled at all times. I also regularly take our family out to remote areas for camping, haul 5 bikes to the park, or lumber for a project, or a yard of mulch. When I find another boat, I’ll be pulling that. It’s a very versatile rig if you’re not pulling heavy work equipment or a giant camper.
