Who has a new 2022? Post your new truck pics here!!

Brought her home today..

 

I lucked out on a this allocation at my local dealer and picked it up yesterday. I only had to wait about a month but felt like forever. Red wasn’t on my list but she looks good.

If you’re in Minnesota, hit up Inver Grove Toyota. Great folks to work with, no markups or gimmicks either. Second car I’ve bought from Bryan Hopson there in two years.

 

I sense that confidence in this truck is growing, but for anyone who might still be a bit nervous, I'll offer a 10,000 mile update since I have not seen this kind of thing posted here. We've had the 5K and 10K service and the recalls done, and the only two issues we've had are not the ones usually discussed here: I had to have the windshield replaced because I took a rock on my first road trip; and I have to get some body work done because when I brought the truck into the dealer to have the tonneau cover installed I rubbed up against an obstruction while pulling into the service area. Man that was sad! My wife said, "At least it wasn't me who got the first scratch!" Otherwise all is well. No problems with the infotainment or navigation. I have the auto bed step, and I totally agree that Toyota needs to make this standard. Fuel economy is 22-24 highway, lower around town of course but not bad (use auto stop/start, turn off AC, open the windows--I realize this doesn't work for everyone everywhere!). Cumulative average 18.8. We got the truck for towing--our 4Runner would have been fine here in the Midwest for our little camper, but we have kids on the west coast and want to tow out there. The truck tows fine, but our mpg while towing has been disappointing, 12-14, and that's in Michigan with a small camper. Overall I am really happy I bought this truck!

 

Looking good, sorry about the dents!

Don’t curse the rest of us with those bed steps. I’ve seen more than a handful of them in the middle of a rough two-track road

 

I'm in the middle of a (not so scientific) milage test with my SR5. I did a trip in early July and got about 19-20MPG, did the same trip this week and got 22-23MPG. Only difference was Premium fuel instead of Regular. Just a seat of the pants test using the Toyota mileage calculator. This weekend coming up I will repeat a trip I did in June hauling my ToyHauler about 5500 pounds, this time with Premium fuel. The June trip I struggled to get above 10MPG, lots of hills. We'll see... My Truck has just over 5K miles so maybe its break-in related...

 

I brought my new SR home from a dealer about 150 miles away from me. The long drive gave me time to appreciate just how well this truck handles. It’s a huge upgrade from my 2000 Tacoma.

 

12-14 isn’t bad for towing, what did the 4Runner get like 8? Full size gas trucks don’t get great gas mileage towing

 

Never have I used premium, but I will be interested in the results of this test. I did notice improvement in mpg after the first 1000 miles or so.

 

YIKES thanks for the warning off road--but I am a little guy and I need all the help I can get!

 

The 4Runner actually got about the same mpg towing as the Tundra has so far, 12-14--although my experience was limited. The camper is only 3000 lbs. dry, but the 4Runner strained with it. Again, this was Michigan and northern Indiana-Ohio, pretty much a flat landscape. In towing I always felt I was asking the 4Runner to do something it wasn't really designed to do. The Tundra is far more capable, and the driving experience while towing is so much smoother and more comfortable. But I hoped the added power, and the Tundra's transmission, would translate into some improvement in fuel economy.

 

Well 1 step would be more than a handful so there is that lol

 

sr 4x2 6.5 bed , most basic i suppose

west san antonio, near medina co line!

 

Where you located and what trim ?

 

It's still a tundra!

 

Finally picked it up yesterday. Windows already checked off the list.

 

Picked up my Limited TRD OR from a dealer 300 miles away from me. The drive home was all smiles!
