Next-Generation 2022 Toyota Tundra Trucks arriving December 2021

Homosassa, FL. (October 7, 2021) – The all-new 2022 Toyota Tundra is born from a lineage of trucks and SUVs rooted in quality, durability and reliability. Its predecessors hit the million-mile mark on more than one occasion thanks to a team of engineers who built the truck above and beyond the status quo. Now, as the third generation of its namesake, Tundra looks to improve upon everything – performance, capability, multimedia, creature comforts and more, to make its predecessors proud.

“The all-new 2022 Toyota Tundra is going to be a major disruptor in the truck market,” said Joe Petrillo, General Manager of Village Toyota.

Redesigned from the ground up, the all-new Tundra was designed, engineered and assembled in the U.S., to be the toughest, most capable, most advanced Tundra to date. This powerhouse vehicle is scheduled to truck its way into Village Toyota later this year.

Improvements and enhancements abound, including its new high-strength boxed, steel ladder frame, aluminum-reinforced composite bed and rear coil springs. The outcome of development efforts gives the stout new Tundra a maximum towing capacity of up to 12,000 pounds and a max payload capacity of 1,940 pounds.

A new interior will offer creature comforts for driver and passenger alike, including an available panoramic roof, heated and ventilated front seats, rear sunshade, heated steering wheel and more. A host of new tech features are found throughout Tundra as well, such as towing aids, off-road enhancements, an all-new multimedia system featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and over-the-air updates. Two different four-door layouts are available, as well as various bed lengths including a 5.5- foot bed, 6.5-foot bed and an 8.1-foot bed.

The all-new Tundra will offer two powertrain options: a twin-turbo V6 engine and a hybrid twin-turbo V6. What may be surprising to some is the hybrid powertrain – the iFORCE MAX – will be the most powerful of the two. Mated to both engines will be a 10- speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission with intelligence (ECTi). The new 10-speed features a sequential shift mode, uphill/downhill shift logic and TOW/HAUL driving modes.

The showstopper for Tundra is really the i-FORCE MAX powertrain. The numbers alone are jaw-dropping – 437 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and a staggering 583 lb.-ft. of torque at only 2,400 rpm. It relies on the same twin-turbo V6 platform but features a unique attribute – a motor generator with a clutch located within the bell housing between the engine and 10-speed automatic transmission. In essence, the motor generator is built in-line to provide additional power that is transferred efficiently via the transmission, while the engine start-up, EV driving, electric assist and energy regeneration are solely done via the parallel hybrid components.

The i-FORCE MAX powertrain is designed to provide maximum performance and maximum efficiency at every extreme. During towing applications, the hybrid system provides additional power and torque. In city driving, it offers a quiet ride with improved efficiency while in low-speed EV mode. On the highway, responsive linear power delivery is the name of the game, and off-road driving is further enhanced thanks to peak torque performance being achieved low in the RPM range.

The grade breakdown for Tundra offers something for everyone, with SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum and 1794 available. TRD Pro, TRD Off-Road and TRD Sport packages will also return to the Tundra lineup, offered on select models.

Tundra will be offered in a host of colors that include: Super White, Wind Chill Pearl, Magnetic Gray Metallic, Celestial Silver Metallic, Midnight Black Metallic, Super Sonic Red, Army Green, Lunar Rock, Blueprint, Smoked Mesquite (Limited and 1794) and Solar Octane (TRD Pro exclusive).

Keeping safety a top priority, every Tundra will come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5. This comprehensive suite of active safety systems includes: Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert, Automatic High Beams, Road Sign Assist, Toyota’s Rear Seat Reminder and others.
