Pricing went up $10k to $13k on the Tundra across all models with the recent change. I respectfully disagree with your comment about cost control. This was a major recast and a pricing increase which was substantially more than necessary. It’s abusive and has effectively disenfranchised many customers from being able to buy even a low end model. So disappointing given Toyota’s history for actually caring for customers. The company is changing and not for the better. Market cap, aggressive growth targets and competition are driving these changes in company tenor as they try to keep up. They have no awareness that they are alienating their customers. I am a very long term Toyota/Lexus customer (including 5 Tundras), and I am so disappointed by what I am seeing. Will be most interesting to watch this evolve.
Price increases in almost all vehicles have way more than necessary. Really, shouldn't prices decrease some? Look at how long vehicles have been produced on assembly lines. Why do they constantly get to be more expensive?
Agree!!! They truck companies are in for some change. It’s starting already. Used cars are not selling at auction and the new cars will get hit also. It will take 4-6 more months. Be patient. I would have traded in my 2019 tundra for a new one, but I’m with you! It’s principle for me!
Good info but all the truck companies need to change the PRICE! I suspect some trouble for all pick-up makers from what I’m seeing, as the prices have become unreasonable. Still holding strong with my 2019 tundra for this reason.
just paint the bottom lip of that front grill, ditch the ''ghost camo''. i like the fender flares painted the same as body color, but maybe thats for trd? step in the rear bumper is a no brainer, got to have it.
For interior, use better materials for those plastic components, the trucks are expensive and we deserve quality materials. For exterior, would like to see a built in step for the tailgate. Maybe add a power on board option like the Ford Powerboost. Also recovery hooks. Trucks need proper front and rear recovery hooks especially the off road models.
Power running boards and built in steps are optional even on the Platinum trim. I think only the Capstone has them as standard. I agree with everything you said, they need better materials and a better fit and finish too after seeing all the complaints
David, what is your opinion on the quality/reliability of the new Tundra? So many issues I read all over folks are having. As a longtime Toyota owner, I am genuinely disappointed in what I hear because I wanted to buy the new gen.
i agree but dont think its ever going to happen, when the turbos need to be replaced or rebuilt, ill send the bill to toyota. this is something zoomers never talk about, just an added expense.
I'd like to see the option of the 6.5 ft bed with the Crew Cab on the SR trim. Putting an 8 footer with the crew cab would require them to build another length frame, so I doubt we'll see that.
David, I don't understand how you got your TRD Pro so early after going into production. I've been the first customer on a waitlist at a top-producing Toyota dealership here in Ontario since the day they started accepting deposits. It's the end of January 2023 and I'm still without my TRD Pro. Rates are up, and prices are up. The Lunar Rock colour is no longer available for the TRD Pro and I'm being told the end of March or sometime in April 2023 is the earliest I can expect to take delivery. Any suggestions that you can provide for someone like me that has been patiently waiting for over a year now?
I placed my deposit one year before the announcement. You might want to talk directly to the general manager at your store who holds the cards in terms of allocation. Otherwise try another dealer, maybe one that's in the remote areas.
@@AutomotivePress finally got word from my dealership that my TRD Pro is expected to arrive between April 9-19, 2023. Unfortunately, it is Solar Octane which I really don't want. They're seeing if another dealership might be willing to trade colours but this doesn't look very promising. My dealership is also working hard to go above and beyond now by bringing in the prototype TRD Pro used for press purposes so that I can at least get my eyes on the colour before having to take delivery.
David, As you said, the cramped interior won't be addressed in a facelift. Your recent photo, where you are towering above 5'5" Akio Toyoda, has me very worried that he is having the whole Toyota fleet custom built to his personal dimensions. 😉😉 I do hope Toyota comes up with a more fuel efficient drivetrain option for people who want a high quality Toyota work truck but don't need to tow 10,000 pounds. Other manufacturers are offering turbo 4s in full size trucks maybe Toyota should consider the turbo 4/Hybrid option in base models. 🤔 I think I might be asking too much if I requested a single cab, 8 foot bed Tundra with the 4.0 V6 and 6 speed manual. 😁😁
i would expect limited, market-trailing changes only for a refresh. Hopefully they'll take your suggestions for the truck's enormous schnozz. The colors will be updated more frequently. The interior electronics won't change much, but they may add some software-based updates. They'll add several smallish usability improvements. That's pretty much it.
I wish we could get the Top Of The Line Tundra, Tacoma, 4Runner....etc, Without a Sunroof. Why do we have to have a sunroof with an upgraded Package or Trim? It's a hole in your roof and sometimes may leak. We have to settle for an entry level so we won't have a Sunroof. How many people dislike Sunroofs, am I the only one?
You are not alone. I too don't want a hole in my roof and just as importantly, sunroofs rob headroom which is a rapidly disappearing commodity in vehicles these days.
I disagree with you about disliking sunroofs cause I use mine weekly, but I 100% agree and support y’all that there should be sunroof OPTIONS in nearly every trim level! Cause y’all are right, some folks like them and some don’t and that’s ok! And I equally also don’t want to forced into a higher trim level just to get a sunroof they don’t offer lower haha. 👍👍
The current Tundra design was done by Calty Design Research in Newport Beach, CA. Perhaps the direction to make the grille smaller will come from TMC. I really dislke that styling cue.
Do you think toyota would change the type of battery in the hybrid tundra? For instance I believe toyota is coming out with a solid state battery in the next couple years. Would they change from the current type of battery to the new solid state? What benefit would the consumer get from this change?
When will they fix the remote start shutdown that you mentioned in a tundra video? Because at this point it seems to have been made up by your Canadian dealership
I love my 22 tundra but my biggest complaint is that they didn't include an Auto 4wd setting in the transfer case like ford, GM, and Ram does. It would be beneficial to me since I live in Washington State where we get snow and ice on our roads during winter.
I totally agree with you. I had a 1794 on order for 6 1/2 months and never got an allocation. I wound up with a 2023 GMC SIERRA SLT with recovery hooks, a step up rear bumper, a multipro tailgate, and AWD. I also have the LZ0 diesel that gets 30 mpg. I think Toyota missed alot of features on this new Tundra and shouldn’t wait 4-5 years to fix those misses. Also the Toyota dealer that I WAS ordering from jacketed the price up $1800 above MSRP. The GMC I purchased was $750 below MSRP. I wish all those new TUNDRA owners all the best with their new trucks.
I live in Eastern Canada and I don't understand why it is a problem ? I prefer to chose when the AWD is on or off then the truck chosing when it thinks its better. Just My opinion.
@@domdequoy7132 You don't get to choose AWD in the new Tundra, you select 4WD, which can only be used when you are in low traction conditions. As someone living in Canada, you should understand the importance of AWD (like the 2nd Gen Sequoia and 4Runner Limited, and LC300, and Toyota Prado, and GX460, and GX600). Toyota just cheaped out on the powertrain for the new Tundra/Sequoia by leaving out the Torsen centre diff.
@@RJ-vc2ju yes you can select awd, I have mine and I can select 2wd, 4wd and 4wd low... and it's truck not a SUV.... The sequoia I understand but tundra ans tacoma should be selectable... like they are...
@@domdequoy7132 Please educate yourself on the difference between AWD and 4WD, as well as fulltime 4WD and part-time 4WD. Once you've done that, then comment.
I picked up my '23 TRD PRO and I hope they design a retractable tonneau cover as OEM. They have this as an option on the Hilux in Australia. I ended up purchasing a Retrax.
Have you heard of/talked to Toyota about the stop sale and Qc hold of all tundra trims with the digital cluster going black? My truck was built on 12/12, sent to port 12/29 and been sitting there since until they get a fix for the cluster. Estimated delivery as of now is mid March!!
Do you not remember the changes between the , example, 2012 model and the 2017 "upgraded" Tundra. 30 things were dropped from the 12 to the 17 double cab. Little things like dual glove compartments, storage in the rear doors, and most important as I have gotten older, the assist handle to get in on the driver side. What happened to not only the transmission temperature gage inside, but the automatic transmission cooler on the outside. You didn't comment on the point that the turning radius has been increased by 4 feet on the new model or that the inside measurements have the legroom reduced both front and rear on the new double cab. I was ready to trade this year because of the illusion of 30 mpg. None of these things really worked out to well, they did finally return the assist Handel on the driver side door, but it's not worth the $50k to $70k price they are asking. Color choices are so poor I can't wait until 2028 until they "improve " things again.
Hi dear is there any issue with tundra new electric steering power in case crossing deep water as like others USA pick up trucks they have some issues 👍🏼🌹
Not having auto 4wd is one key reason I wont buy a tundra. every other high end truck comes standard with it. The other thing i really dont like is the lack of built it remote start. i know they have something but its sketchy (e.g., may go away at some point and isn’t just a dedicated remote start button on the fob. I dont want an app subscription either!) Besides that i think they need to make the mpg match epa. Lots of people not getting epa ratings. Also looks could improve and id like to be able to get the hybrid engine on the sport.
I am a Toyota fan. I have been for many years. The new Tundra was quite the disappointment IMO. I can remember seeing so much footage of Toyota testing the new Tundra with a Ford, Chevy or Dodge close by. It seems that Toyota was comfortable with just bringing the Tundra up to meet the basic metrics of the competitors. Dodge is getting better MPG with a V8 than Toyota's twin turbo V6/hybrid. I don't see how Toyota expects to compete with the other manufacturers with this truck. It seems that they are completely satisfied with bringing up the rear in the full size truck market. If this is Toyota's best...I think the entire management team for the Tundra should be replaced. There are plenty of improvements that could be made without sacrificing Toyota's known reliability. Who does not put a full rear bumper, tow hooks and many other things on a full size truck? Also...they have taken one of the more manly looking trucks and turned it in to a Metrosexual looking truck
I can’t stand the black fender flares that end before they reach bottom of body. Looks really lame and is defeats point of having flares. The whole truck just looks odd. And being honest the old one looks odd too. Love the 4Runner and Tacoma. And new Sequoia is sweet too.
With many states in the US moving to electric only by 2030-2035 will Toyota wait until the last minute and introduce an entire fleet of all electric at once? If the Tundra isn’t electrified by 2028, then when?
Hi David, For what they’re charging now for a Toyota TUNDRA TRD PRO I hope someday that they manufacture it in Japan. In my opinion I don’t think the quality control here in Texas is not that great…. And certainly doesn’t compare to the quality control that we get from Japanese manufactured vehicles such as Lexus and TOYOTA.
20:03 totally agree. tfl tested a diesel HD truck vs an EV truck that weighed a bit more than the diesel one yet the payload/range of the EV truck was laughable if not downright lamentable!!
I have driven Toyota trucks for over 20 years and was very excited about the new Tundra and was ready to upgrade from my 2014 until I saw it. The TRD Sport version was the only one I liked the looks of enough to buy, I tried to order one, gave up after 8 months. I have to say that I am disappointed in the 2022's looks, the things they cheapened like the center console and the mpg's that aren't much better than my 5.7 V8. I have decided to wait for the new Tacoma, if they botch that one too I will have to look at the other manufacturers.
I have wanted to like the new Tundra as I believe Toyota is # 1 in quality. But I just can't get over the front end. That and no available V8 makes it a no go for me. I currently drive a Lexus LX with over 200,000 miles I eagerly awaited the release of the redesigned Tundra only to be disappointed.
Sequoia is the better option than the Tundra because of that ugly grill. It’s not even a modern design. I just don’t understand how this came out of the Toyota design team.
Bringing back V8. Toyota must have the worst customer understanding of any company on earth. Nobody I know will buy the current turbo disaster. Ending of the global platform that has not decreased the price, but but instead destroyed truck quality.
fire the entire team that designs the tundra is the only way to get a good facelift. no matter how you look at it, you can't fix ugly that's just the reality of it. i do understand beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, I'm not faulting those who love the look of the truck. that big grill is like having your buck teeth sticking out of your mouth and you're proud of it. the other thing that is obvious about this truck is it is scrawny looking compared to others and its predecessor. no matter how you mod it to try to make it look rugged it's lacking. it's like a scrawny dude trying to look buff. end of rant.
I wouldn't risk my life taking the turbo far into the wilderness. I just as soon trust a RangerRover now. The new one is a total fail compared to my 07. Just saw a new black one with the most hideous chrome grill I've ever seen on a vehicle. Toyota is losing it.
Tow hooks from the factory should be part of the refresh
I’ve heard Toyota is expediting their refresh and redesign cycles, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the refresh for the 2026 or 2027 model year.

Internal step on the rear bumper. Front tow hooks. Better fuel economy. Auto 4WD function. Easier 2WD to 4WD shifting. Downsize the grill.

I can’t consider the Tundra until they ship 4-wheel drive auto.
Built in step in the rear bumper
And in the middle of the truck step to wash rear window
Improve the turning radius, and get rid of the battery under the backseat, and I’ll get back in a Tundra
Besides talking about the yota, did anyone tell you that you look like Jackie Chan 😂😂
I don't care about the carplay and electronics, I care about if it's aluminum frame, and how much it rusts over the years.
Toyota needs to make a regular cab long bed (eight feet) again.
Add front recovery hooks…
Recovery hooks!
They need to redesign both cabs to return the interior space and headroom the previous truck had.
AGREED!
I love my tundra!!! That trail hunter is awesome!!!
Tow hooks
Vacuum actuated turbos
Please don’t forget to predict an engine that doesn’t blow up ok, thanks. 🙏
I'm sure minor tweaks including that front end.

I hope we'll see an electric version sooner.
Toyota needs to get rid of that huge front bumper and how much it protrudes out. Looks terrible from certain angles.
I Agree with Toyota Lithium powered Tundra would be Stupid 🇺🇸👍
Turbo is a bad idea. Lots of mechanical problems and will require lots of maintenance
Bringing back V8. Toyota must have the worst customer understanding of any company on earth. Nobody I know will buy the current turbo disaster. Ending of the global platform that has not decreased the price, but but instead destroyed truck quality.
I would like to see more MACHO truck
fire the entire team that designs the tundra is the only way to get a good facelift. no matter how you look at it, you can't fix ugly that's just the reality of it. i do understand beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, I'm not faulting those who love the look of the truck. that big grill is like having your buck teeth sticking out of your mouth and you're proud of it. the other thing that is obvious about this truck is it is scrawny looking compared to others and its predecessor. no matter how you mod it to try to make it look rugged it's lacking. it's like a scrawny dude trying to look buff. end of rant.
I wouldn't risk my life taking the turbo far into the wilderness. I just as soon trust a RangerRover now. The new one is a total fail compared to my 07. Just saw a new black one with the most hideous chrome grill I've ever seen on a vehicle. Toyota is losing it.
