2022 Tundra

Then won’t you have to ignore just about everyone from the last 10 pages?

Back on topic: I hope the new tundra has an engine.

 

And a tranny cooler

 

That's a mistake. That's going to be a big list and @Wallygator is prone to giving great advice.

In reality I'm jealous. Green with envy. I expect to be added to this list. Its not a request but a command.

 

I've given this a lot of thought and I think I may flipflop on my stance.
No matter what the new Tundra has under the hood or what it looks like, everyone here will reel in horror when its finally unveiled. Then, secretly stalk it on the interwebs for several months (mostly in the new Gen 4 category on Tundras.com), then when someone finally starts really modding theirs and posting pics, we'll all start dropping hints to the significant other that the new Tundra gets XX MPGs, and has this or that, and eventually a large percentage of us will be down at the Toyota dealership seeing what's what. Probably not the 2022s, but I'd love to see what percentage of current Tundra owners end up in a 2023 model... probably more than this thread would indicate.
We all know Toyota is going to come out with a better truck than what we have now. They don't rush to keep up with the market, but when they do make a move its usually in a big way and changes the market for the next several years/decades. Just look at the Prius. Love it or hate it, Toyota started a hybrid revolution with that car. Nothing in that segment even comes close. Now hybrid Camrys, Highlanders and lots of Lexus models are they standard everyone compares to.
A hybrid Tundra will be a badass truck, and we'll all accept it and many of us will be in one sooner than planned.

 

There is a you tube video, seen it today, no more V8, 6 cylinder turbo.. makes me sad. Truck look I am a little iffy, don’t hate the look.

 

I think you might be onto something. I really just don't want the debt/payments to extend. I definitely want to see them and drive one, but I don't want to pay anymore. lol

 

It's a rendering. Don't get caught up in renderings.

 

Still nothing official. And that pic is not the truck. Look at the wheels. Poor photoshop job and those have 5 lugs. Pics of the trucks in camo show a 6 lug pattern.

 

I hear that. Likely/hopefully there will be enough of the V8 diehards to keep the resell market on the Gen 3s good enough to make it worthwhile. One good thing going for the V8s is you won't be able to get them new anymore, so that actually works in our favor for resale.

 

I hope I don't have to sell or trade it, so I'm less concerned than most on that front. The only thing I like the resale value for is to cover me in the event of an accident.

 

I'm counting on it! All the diehard V8 lovers will keep the used Tundra market strong.

 

4th gen 4Runners with the v8 have held their value very well. They discontinued the v8 for the 5th gen.

FJs have also held their value very well, and I think they have gone up in some cases.

I’m really not worried about the value of my truck plummeting in light of the coming 3rd gen tundra. Every example we have points to the contrary.

 

Or look at the 1st gen values on Tundras. They didn't tank when the new and improved version with a bigger motor came out. Hell, they are still valuable, especially if they aren't riddled with cancer.

 

Part of me thinks we see a composite bed like the taco has. GM has something in their fullsize line called the carbon package which is the same idea.

 

I'm not optimistic that Toyota will continue to build a new truck for me. I'm confident that they will steal some of the best design cues from the GMC and Ram. In the past they've done that with the big 3. The GMC is the best looking half ton on the road right now, and the Ram has the best interior. They seem bent on trying to mimic powertrain options from Ford.

So, I think they will have a good looking Truck, and will have increased HP, MPG, Torque, Payload, and of course price. I'm just not confident it will be the workhouse that the current models is. That's ok, because it won't tempt me to drop cash on a new one.

The question for Toyota is: Can they gain enough of a market of "grocery getters" to make up for people like me that tow frequently and relatively heavy to keep me away from GMC (probably not) or RAM (damn I could pull the trigger on a TRX id it could tow) in the future?

 

You are expecting the new Tundra to have more power and towing/payload, but be less of a workhorse? Is it the probability of a turbo V6?

 

When the new one comes out I'll be looking at it real hard, and when they get hybrid in I'll want one of the first test drives. If it feels better in power (kinda like how the Highlander hybrid is to the gasser) and it gets good mileage - I'll take the ring road so I'll get a ~75km test loop - then it'll be all down to the numbers. Hopefully they keep the low interest rates on the financing, not the 5.5% they have on Highlander hybrids here.

I do think the first look I won't be overly happy - just like I was for the 2014. But it didn't take me long to come around and prefer the refresh. There's enough photos out now that if they're close that the looks are good enough for me, so it's gonna come down to whether it's enough of an upgrade to warrant trading in the 16.

 

You like this?

 

Aren’t those diesels that require a big grill area? I drive past a gmc 2500 on the way to work and like the way it looks every time I do.

 

That's neither a GMC nor a halfton...

 

Those aren't half tons.

 

No. Thats a Chevy, not a GMC. It's also not a 1/2 ton.

This is what he was referring to. They look damn good. If I couldn't drive a Toyota, I'd be back in a GMC in a heartbeat.

 

I agree, but the next generation of tundras will be the 4th generation,

 

Will it?

 

Interesting. The newest one I've been is a 2017 that a friend owns. It rides like butter.

 

The Elevation and AT4 look better to me. I like the RST and two Trail Bosses on the Chevy 1500 side, too.

 

Incorrect. A facelift does not a new generation make. Check out the 5th gen 4Runner. Still going since 2010, yet they had a mid-gen facelift in 2014 just like the Tundra. Generation codes for each remain the same since 2007 for the Tundra and 2010 for the 4Runner.
