2022 TOYOTA TUNDRA, FIRST EVER TOYOTA BZ4X, NORTH TEXAS AUTO SHOW

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Toyota Tundra receives a comprehensive redesign, addressing long-standing criticisms of its predecessor. Reviewers praise the significantly improved interior comfort, ergonomics, and a much smoother, more refined powertrain featuring a 3.5L twin-turbo V6. While not class-leading in power or fuel economy compared to competitors like the F-150, the new Tundra offers excellent drivability thanks to its well-tuned 10-speed transmission. The ride quality is also a major upgrade, particularly with the new multi-link rear suspension, though the Ram still holds the edge in overall comfort. Aesthetically, the exterior is a mixed bag, with the grille drawing particular attention, but the overall impression is a significant improvement. The interior is a standout, feeling completely new and modern with intuitive controls and a large, crisp infotainment screen. However, visibility is hampered by a low roofline and a high cowl, creating a "bunker-like" feel for some drivers. Despite minor drawbacks, the Tundra is presented as a comfortable, capable, and honest truck for the recreational user, marking a substantial leap forward for Toyota's full-size offering.
