Official 2022 Tundra 3rd Gen Thread

But what's it rated for, 15? So realistically, if you got a third gen, you'd probably get 17, rather than 21.

 

That grill is dark chrome, has chrome surrounding it, and chrome badging

 

Nope this is a 3rd gen. To be fair my daily commute is 3 miles with 400’ of elevation change. I’m happy with highway mileage but these thing drink a lot on any incline or getting up to speed.

 

plus who gives a shit, I would want to feel the boost!!

 

Ya it’s fun to feel the boost on occasion. But unless you’re on the highway it’s not very exciting. Putting the foot down to get to 30 is pretty lame. I’m pretty sure the only time this truck isn’t in boost is when it’s cruising around 55.

 

damn, thats disappointing.

I haven't test driven one yet, I guess I was expecting the boost to kick in and put you back in the seat

 

thank u for this observation.

 

Look Hex, I realize your not a fan of mine. Just block me dude. As for what I said. It is correct. And just so you can see a Tundra Platinum comes NOT all body colored and HAS shiny chrome. See below. Night and day difference from the new and much better looking IMO Sequoia platinum.

 

F150 Powerboost has a torque converter. The biggest factor to fuel economy is weight based on how EPA categorizes each vehicles weight. They go in 500 lbs intervals. You can look it up in their test data (Google search “epa test data”). F150 Powerboost 4x4 is tested at 6000 lbs and Tundra non-hybrid 4x4 is also 6000 lbs… so Tundra hybrid should be tested at 6500 lbs based on it’s weight (curb weight + 300 lbs is between 5751-6250 lbs for 6000 lbs equivalent weight and between 6251-6750 lbs for 6500 lbs equivalent weight).

I find it interesting that Toyota said this because I’ve seen videos of the iForce Max cruising at higher speeds with the engine off. I think they probably mean you can accelerate up to 18 mph with electric only. But I think the engine turns off in coasting and you can cruise in electric only at some higher speeds. For example, my buddy’s powerboost can maintain 35-45 mph easily in electric only.

 

Sorry, 1794 is the styling they used. I misspoke. Still, it's not like that styling isn't available in Tundra. You made it seem like the Sequoia received different styling when it doesn't.

"It had no chrome. All black and body color." when describing the Platinum Sequoia is an adamantly false statement. It has a dark chrome grill and multiple chrome accents.

 

Sure but within a few seconds your 30mph over the speed limit in the city lol

 

Saw my first 2022 SR5 Tundra 5.5 white - with a black interior, today - nice truck, not sure it's 50k nice, but, It was interesting to see, we'll see as more hit the streets.

at least put a winch on that thing if you know you are going to get yourself stuck for the 5th time lol.

 

Bring on the Ford Ranger Raptor... can't be any worse than this debacle.

 

100% True the New Tundra prices are interesting in the fact that they are higher than I thought they would be. I knew there would be an increase but didn't think it would be where it is now.

Before buddy's video gets taken down.

 

Interesting video. I suppose I assumed dealers had larger profit margins than this. I'd be interested to see it confirmed that all his info is accurate

 

Are you being intentionally obtuse?

 

If I recall, used vehicle sale prices were up 39% over 12 months ending December 2021 in the US. Based on that data I would've expected a significant increase in new car sales since they are also affected by supply chain issues etc.

 

what that video doesnt tell you is that independent of the MSRP vs Invoice, the dealers get a set amount of money from Toyota for simply moving a vehicle as well. Granted it isnt anything to write home about, but when you are dealing with small margins, it makes a difference for them.

 

I take 15% off MSRP and that's where I start my negotiations for an out-the-door price.

Your assumption is correct. Dealer invoices are and have been fake since the mid 90s. They make about double the markup they show. It comes in the form of the kickback bonuses they get but nobody likes talking about that, especially Toyota dealers.

 

Same I actually enjoy the game car dealerships play, I have walked away from many deals, and learned a lot over the years (my brother sold cars for a while)
But in todays market I’m happy to take 30% extra on my trade and pay MSRP.

I would love to tell my dealer 52k all in out the door for my truck but never gunna happen in these crazy times

 

Have a request in to my local dealer to look for a LTD Crewmax short bed with just the panoramic moonroof option checked. In the first contact they came at me with a 68K out the door price including markup and port installed options bundles. I told them what I wanted and said I want to be below 60K. Came up on the configurator in the low 57s so I will wait and let them look for it. Just called and said they see nothing that looks like what I'm interested in for at least 2 months out. Everything coming out is fully loaded and bundled.

I told them I don't take it personal and we can keep communicating through the year to see how the market changes but keep in mind I've bought 2 vehicles off them and serviced one there for a decade. They have 4 listed online at their one location but they are all in transit with some already purchased. Had a couple at their other location a month ago that I'm sure are gone. No dealer trades happening.

After re-considering other brands I have a Ford dealer who claims not to charge ADM pricing a 5.0 Lariat SCREW for me. If they are telling the truth and are able to come in at just below 60K that is probably my first alternative.

 

What a deal....NOT!

Anyone else hear that 1794s and Platinums are now being held on an additional 90 day hold? I've seen this a couple of times today from people that have those ordered, and that are pending qc hold
