      Towing fuel economy is a area I hope your planning on testing to compare the 2022 Tundra gas and hybrid versions vs the 2021 Ford Hybrid F150 towing the same weight and testing conditions.
      Toyota needs a 30amp 3000w 110v/220v inverter for the Tundra hybrid model.

      @@Pickuptrucktalk Awesome!
      Living in Colorado Springs, CO on Cheyenne Mountain 🏔 @ 6800 ft, the Winter winds are brutal this season. We clocked winds over 100 mph over the last 4 weeks. Only a total of 4” of snow here on Cheyenne Mountain, a record low of snow this season with record high winds = extreme fire danger. We pray we don’t have a Boulder Colorado style fire event.
      Hopefully you can do a towing test with the Tundra Hybrid in the future as well. The towing mpg will be interesting.
      Many report towing with the F150 hybrid is virtually the same highway mpg as the non hybrid version with the same motor.
      Apparently the in town F150 hybrid towing does have only slightly better fuel economy than the non hybrid F150 with the same motor, towing the same weight, conditions, elevation etc.
      We praise Toyota for not offering the standard “two tone” under carriage oxidation called rust found on Ford and GM products even when new. Not acceptable Ford and GM.

    I use my F-150 day and night. I use the tailgate step daily (my old man knees and back appreciates the step). I love the perimeter lighting at night…it keeps me from stepping into puddles (my wife likes them, too). I use the tow hooks 6-8 times a year…usually to help others. I recently used my front tow hooks to pull out some shrubs. The Toyota is a very reliable grocery getter or for the occasional trip to a home improvement store.

    I ordered an F350 7.3l 4x4 long bed. I have been waiting 3 months now. Meanwhile I’ve been looking at these new Tundras. I get all the GOOD you are saying Tim - and please know - I am very much a Toyota guy - but I just can’t pay $60k for a truck that’s not a big old 3/4 ton work truck. The Tundra is now like a car. I don’t want a car. I have gone down the road of calling dealers and trying to get in their Tundra allocation wait list. One guy in particular in Seattle was awesome about really searching for me. He found me a beauty. An SR5 Crew Max Long Bed 4x4 and it was Army Green and the pics looked pretty darn nice. He was getting it around Jan 15. Asked if I wanted to deposit $1000 on it since it was not presold. I asked for the total price. They were asking $5k above sticker plus some ridiculous $2k Executive Package which he couldn’t explain. Something about if the truck gets stolen they give me $3k. WTF?? Anyway. These Toyota dealers are fleecing us. This Tundra ain’t a $60k truck. It’s a $45k truck. My F350 XLT will come in cheaper than what that dealer wanted for a Tundra. Laughable since the 350 can haul a trailer with two Tundras sitting on top. The only thing the Tundra has better is mpg finally. Haha. Remember we complained about older 5.7 V8 mpg. I think they fixed it. But this ain’t no work truck. I plan to USE my work truck. My 350 will have about 3000 payload? Like far more than I’ll need. But when hauling stuff more is better. I recently drive a long bed 250 Lariat 3500 miles not towing all highway. It was a 7.3 Godzilla. Got 14.9 mpg across all those miles. And there were times where I was holding 85 smoothly at 2,000 quiet rpms. I am going to quit looking for Tundras and stick to my Ford. I can’t stand the way the Toyota dealers are fleecing us. My Ford dealer told me “when it comes in we’ll see what the sticker says and we’ll talk. We won’t mark it up and you can get the X Plan pricing from your job” (we buy only Fords at work). Ford dealer didn’t even hit my credit card for the deposit. He even gave me a couple jars of real beehive honey for my 85 year old mother in law. He calls me regularly to say hi and apologized about supply chain delays. Toyota guys are all looking for short term windfalls. Ford guy (at least mine) wants my LONG TERM business. Not just this truck. I’m done with the games. Oh and haha. When your Tundra gets stuck call me. I have two BIG tow hooks I can tether you too after we figure out where. I’ll put it in 4x4 and tank you out like a red headed stepson.

All had wiggly shifter housing/box. When you shift the gated shifter, that while assembly moves. Then on top, the excessively hefty body roll just make you tired and feel like riding an elephant.

I'm in my mid fifties with 32 years as a carpenter behind me and I use that corner of the bumper to step on all the time to climb in. That's gone in the new Tundra. Also, the tow hooks... Absolutely mind boggling. I just got my 2017 Tundra stuck off the edge of a driveway in mud and snow backing in my 20' trailer. A worker on site used an excavator to hook onto my tow hooks and pull me out. There would have been no way to get under the truck to hook on to anything. It was buried. This plus the truck is so ugly in the front end, I'd be embarrassed to drive it, I will not buy another Tundra. I've owned four Tundras and one Tacoma since 1998.

    The comment about where "trucks used to be" vs "where they are going". The 2022 Tundra is as competitive as all of the 2022 competitors. Will the '2025" and "2028" Tundra be fundamentally the same as the "2022"? Probably but it will also be bullet proof. So, it is competitive today, leading in some areas, tied in other areas, a bit behind in a few areas as well. Meanwhile, GM, Ford & RAM constantly deliver new bells and whistles ... this is one reason a Tundra has earned its reputation for quality and reliability (cause GM, Ford & RAM never take the time to perfect their platform while Toyota does). I'm not disappointed with the 2022 Tundra. Sure, I wish it had a few more features & capabilities but my goodness, Toyota came out with so many new features ... they truly built a new truck from the ground up far exceeding what I've seen this extremely conservative company typically do over the 17 years I've been buying Toyota's (2004 Sienna was my first). Maybe, just maybe they've turned a corner as I see a LOT of opportunity for the Tundra to scale and grow over the next 10 - 15 years. Other engine options, packaging (ie Capstone, Pro in 6.5' bed (please), probably a hood scoop, fully electric, increase inverter power, payload, towing, etc, etc.

    I love my '22 Tundra Platinum. I haven't had the issues with the infotainment system that you have. I think the lack of tow hooks is a foolish oversight, but isn't as big a deal for me. But, you nailed the two biggest issues for me. #1, the tail gate. I love the bump to open feature. But it is darn near impossible for me to get into it. It's impossible to custom order a Toyota truck and they aren't including the power bed step in the vast majority of the models they are sending out. To add the power step aftermarket is almost $1500. So, I'm pretty upset about that issue. #2, the lighting is pretty abysmal. I do like that while driving at night, my wife can turn one on to read without distracting me as a driver. However, they should have incorporated much more general lighting in the truck and outside. As for the looks. I love how it looks. I just finished the 2" leveling lift kit and new tires.

You nailed the point regarding Ford offering more features. I have a new F150 Tremor that I bought for it’s offroad and towing chops. However on a daily basis the thing I unexpectedly love the most is the Zone Lighting (including approach lighting).

    I found my Ford was far more comfortable. I also felt like my Ford had more punch, but not by much.
    My F-150 was pretty solid off road while I’ve been hunting, and yes I’ve been stuck ( while making a 30 point turn on a logging road) …. Used the tow hooks and a winch…on that note, where would you put a winch on the Tundra?
    I loved all the features of my old Ford, it was truly exciting to drive. My tundra is a nothing burger, but it works. It really hit home when you said this Tundra is what all the trucks have been doing for some time now, and the Tundra didn’t come out any better. I too like solid buttons, when I’m off road, it’s almost impossible to do anything on a touch screen unless you stop. My Wife’s RAV4 adventure package has that new info system, and all I can say is it really sucks… it’s not competitive with others at all. You should take out that head piece and put a bobble head, it’s far more productive and entertaining
    Your on point with the tailgate. It’s useless and it really turns the bed into an empty suitcase for me

      Your wife’s RAV4 has the old Toyota infotainment. Tundra is the launch model for the new one.

    I wasn't sure about the look at first but really like it now. That's my personal opinion though.

    I agree with you on everything and your buddy Mike said they had QRD in mind when they did the tailgate they didn’t want a lot of different moving parts ….

    On the Ford you just tested it was like your “Best Friend” that lights up when you come near!

    You may think it has more power but everybody already knows it does not have more power because on tfl they raced the F-150 against the tundra and it wasn't even close the F-150 whooped its ass badly

      Pretty sure that was the race one including the TRX and it was the Raptor truck. I think a more fair comparison would be the hybrid engine v the F150 Raptor.

      That was the powerboost let tfl try it against the I force max. Apples to apples. But the tundra did beat the 2022 raptors ass. But I guess no one saw that one. So let's hear yea it had 37s and not fair , blah blah.

      Fair comparison would be powerboost vs i force max and 3.5 ford be 3.5 tundra.

      I think it’s the torque and how it comes on earlier in the rev range vs the F-150z
