2022 TOYOTA TUNDRA REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Toyota Tundra marks a significant redesign after a 14-year hiatus, introducing a compelling hybrid option, the i-Force Max. Reviewers praise the new powertrains, particularly the hybrid's power delivery and the smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, noting it drives like a traditional V8. The exterior design is lauded for its aggressive, 'badass' look, especially the TRD Pro's unique grille and lighting. Inside, the 14-inch touchscreen and functional button layout are appreciated, though the prototype status prevents a definitive assessment of material quality. Key criticisms include a lack of pricing and official fuel economy figures for the hybrid, and the interior noise levels, which are attributed partly to the TRD Pro's off-road setup and tires. Despite these unknowns, the Tundra's strong resale value, a hallmark of Toyota, is highlighted as a major selling point. The review also touches on the non-hybrid gas model, finding it quieter and smoother than the TRD Pro hybrid, suggesting it might be a more appealing option for some buyers.
