That Lunar Rock color looks good on the 22 Tundra. Also thanks for showing us the actual infotainment. Rather than showing up the Apple / Android interface.
Never ever thought I’d be considering a Toyota for my first truck. I’ve been dead set saving up for an F150. But the more 2022 tundra videos of yours I watch, the more I’m liking this tundra and considering buying one. I think all it will come down to in the end is price
@@timothyfawks2437 At least previously. The highest end Models of Tundra were about the same price of a mid tier Ford. So around 50k. Fords highest end models easily hit 70k or more.
Turbo equals more problems and undoubtably your engine wears out faster and there’s nothing you can do about it besides keeping the boost down so that’s a negative. But god we’re gonna love the power you get while having the engine and a tune for sure 🤟🏼
I have a 2011 f150 with 230k miles as my work truck, it was the first year for the 3.5 ecoboost, haven’t had any issues and I’ve only done scheduled oil changes .
I’m hoping more people will begin to realize how awesome these 3.5 twin turbo engines are. I have a 2020 F150 and it’s a beast. Super efficient when I haul heavy loads. I haven’t had the opportunity to tow yet. But they engine so far has done everything I’ve asked it to do. Really liking this Tundra.
TO THE DOOR PANELS!!!! Is always my fave part of every video! It's where the in depth part starts.. I always have to know how many twinkies I can fit in each compartment it's invaluable information!
It's funny how the base model actually looks the best out of all the trims I've seen. I hate chrome and I hate gaudy badges. I just wish they would color match the black portion of the front bumper below.
Joe, I don't know how Lori manages to keep the camera steady sometimes with your cornball humor and snack food jokes, all delivered straight up, and which are actually funny 😂(and original). Kudos to Lori! 👸 You missed the chance to call that rock in the console a lunar rock and say it comes standard with the color.
After being loyal to solely Toyota for almost 10 years, I’m gassed. Making their dated infotainment twice as large doesn’t make it “with the times”. Besides, the new Tundra shows what it’ll look like for the next 10-15 years. They’ll always hold a special place in my heart, but I’m convinced they’re good for two things- reliability and resale value, that’s it.
I mean.. Those are 2 pretty important things... And it looks good. Even though it might look like this for at least a decade, its new for now. Lol.. Soo idk what more you really want. Is the infotainment system really that much of a deal breaker?
Love this truck 👌 Toyota's trucks are my favourite trucks on the road today 🔥 I always thought of grabbing one in the future, but I'd probably settle for a Tacoma since it's a bit smaller 😅
My suggestion would be go for a 2012-15 Tacoma with the 4.0V6. It's a tried and true engine with alot of power and reliability. Look for the TRD Sport trim. I've had one 2012 TRD Sport 4x4, spruce green and gold pearlescent coating had it since show room new. 200K miles and no issues. Still on the original drums in the rear and 2nd set if disc's up front. Perfect truck.
+2 on the 2.5 gen Tacoma’s (2012-2015). Best generation of Tacoma. Do not make the mistake of buying the turd gen. The gearing is off, Toyota focused way too much on fuel economy and it just hunts for gears on hills. Cabin is smaller on the 3rd gen as well
Just spoke to the dealer in Washington, SR5 with Premium Package (14" Screen and 6.5' Bed - $53,800 [$47,115 base MSRP before add-ons) & Limited with TRD Off Road Package with 14" Screen and 6.5' Bed is $57,700 [$52,300 base MSRP before add-ons]). No mark up. Hope that helps!
I'd say outside of some of the f150s extra features, which we could argue that plenty of theme or pointless.. this tundra has beat the new f150 in exterior, interior, fit and finish, and we already know reliability.
Never a ford. They are a 5 year truck with built in failure. The tundra has always been a much better real world truck. I am willing to bet they will continue with this new truck.
@@normt430 I don't think the maintain part is the issue. It's just hard to compete with ford's mass manufacturing plants that can pump out cheap f150s like its nothing.
Pretty sure Toyota was reluctant to use turbos on this model given their reputation for reliability. I get it in terms of gas mileage but can't help but think a hybrid set up would of been better. And how about some storage boxes on the side like the Ram has with those Ram boxes? And GMC has those new tailgates but it looks like Toyota just went with the old setup.
Toyota came out swinging with this redesigned Tundra!!! And it looks waaaaaaaaay better with the mustache and fender flairs body color painted. Well done Toyota!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #Toyota #Tundra #SR5 #TRDallthethings
Nice looking truck ..miss the v8s though...sick paint job,sick design alll around.. Don't like that black insert on the front bumper it distorts the grill design
They should’ve kept the V8 as an option I think... it may not be the best power or economy but a natural V8 is a different driving experience that feels great...
This video is sponsored by Toyota. Do you think anyone cares about all the Toyota logos ? This guy makes sure he points every one of them out. Do you think we care about how it compares to the F150 at every feature? No. But Toyota does. Do you think he got a chance to review a preproduction model and it didn't influence his opinion at all ? Of course it did. I wouldn't be surprised off he got lunch with them and they talked about what they wanted to see out of the video. Waste of ti e
What Im most curious about this truck is if the V6 twin turbo will hold up like the V8 over time. The mpg numbers are so similar between the two, the gamble on reliability doesn't seem worth it to me at this point.
less reliable overtime i’m sure. turbos alway bring a lot more heat and components. The maintenance will be key i’m sure. also will be more reliable after 3-4 years i’m sure.
Ford has been using ecoboosts for over a decade now and so far the engineering consensus is that the ecoboost is just as reliable long term as the coyote v8
One thing I don’t understand is all this “pre production” stuff. I find it hard to believe that Toyota is shipping these out to dealers in two months yet they don’t have any models that aren’t currently pre production????
Another great video, Joe! We appreciate the non-biased content. You deliver it how it is. It’s hard for me to take channels like “pick-up truck +suv talk” seriously because Tim is so partial to Ford. It’s like listening to a Ford employee doing a review of other car brands 🤦🏻♂️
Joe, can you confirm this SR5 trim will have the availability to select that panoramic moonroof? I’ve heard from other videos that because this truck is a pre-production model, the SR5 trim will not feature this as an option to consumers come time of the release date.
That truck look amazing if ur texas u should definitely get a truck like this 👍🏻 thanks joe & l , but starting price for this will good up at least 45k -48k
Can't say I wouldn't like to have one but I miss the days when trucks didn't cost 90 grand and weren't about looking like a transformer. Love my 97 T100. Reliable, does the job, paid for. I hope it lasts another 10 years.
Nice. Real nice. Great video Lori & Joe! Don’t worry about the lack of armrest and connectivity in the backseat. Just judging by the SR5 TRD package, that backseat was designed for the overlander dog owner in mind. Id say you can fit 2 full sized German Shepards & an Australian Sheepdog back there
A Ford half ton was the worst truck for reliability I've ever owned and a gmc was a close second worst. Neither company will ever get another dime of mine. Toyota rules period when it comes to reliability..
@@tracecronk3727 I known many to have good luck with Ford's and GMs but my experience is not that. My Ford was a long time ago and I've been faithful to myself in never having another. It was totally shot in 5 years. It was a 77 Ranger with a 400ci v8.. My Gm experience is lengthy and my last Gm of which I've had , 70, 82, 85, 90, 99 2009 GM was an incredible lemon with something broken always. I had 31 issues in 6 years. My Toyota so far has been flawless and so much tougher than comparably related GMs. I wish you luck with your Ford's ....if they serve you well that's what they are supposed to do. If I'm satisfied with any product I'll stick with them.
Depends entirely on the price! Keep it around $45k for a fully loaded SR5 4x4 crew cab, and I think you’ll get a hell of a truck for the money. Really love that all the safety tech and LEDs are standard!
That would be killer deal, but with all the techs. I have a feeling a loaded SR5 might be in the $48-50k range. If you notice all the 2020 Toyota that has the “Standard Safety Sense” are all $1500 more than previous years where Safety Sense was only on the top of the line trim.
@@tigerbiterhater yeah but you never know, the current ‘21 SR5 4x4 crewmax is $43k with a few options on the side, so $45k may be a possibility. I mean even $50k would still be a good deal compared to the F150 XLT for example, which is $55k with all the desirable options
@@jakes5530 agree. $45k loaded like the one here is a deal. Pretty sure it’ll be waiting list for one and knowing dealers. There’s gonna be mark up even on SR5 trim.
I had ordered my Ford in March I got an email letting me know it had barely started being built at the end of august and It barely arrive yesterday. It does take a while during this chip shortage.
Gotta say, love how it looks. Got a few years till I upgrade but one of these used is definitely gonna be a big contender. Personally idk if it would look good with Lunar Rock, but I really liked the red color with the magnetic fender flares that they had at the reveal. Will be honest though, one big "zonk"(half zonk?) for me is the underseat storage. Love having it, and love the amount of storage it gives you, but one thing Ford did better with it imo was having it able to fold flat when you're not using it, like when you have something bulky you need in the back, but don't wanna put in the bed(idk, tv or something?)
Well, I think my decision has been made! Love it in the lunar rock color. This is all the truck that 95% of truck owners need. My only two complaints are 1) no front tow hooks, c'mon Toyota and 2) I wish the tires were a little more aggressive, but I understand, it is the sport model. Now just need to unload my 3 month old 2021 Taco.
Love the addition of heated cloth seats to the SR5. That’s something the last one was missing. A bit perplexed by the lack of any connectivity in the back seat though. Even my 2021 Tundra SR5 at least has a 12 volt back there
Yeah they seemed to have added a bunch of things to the SR5 that wasn't avail before- Pano moon roof, heated seats, power folding mirrors etc. It is weird they removed the single 12volt outlet in the back but Im wondering since this is still a "pre-Production" unit that we may see one back there when they go on sale...
Can’t believe your are doing this review. Been obsessed with getting info about the ‘22 Tundra this week. Awesome review and background history. I’d get this very color too!
Love all the Color Matching on the SR5. A few mods like Katzkin Leather Seats and a TRD Pro Grill would make this perfect. It has 479 lb-ft Torque, not 379. Great review as always Joe.
Bit of an exageration I think............. I've owned both brands and I don't come up with your summation at all. Ford blows Toyota out of the water actually......... accessibility, looks and choice
@@cwqrpportable look up the most reliable truck over the last 13 years, its tundra, look up highest resale value of f150 and tundra, tundra has in fact dominated f150 in both aspects
For a trim just above base it looks like a winner! I am sure we will see a lot of SR5 Tundras on the road, but I hope to drive a 1794 Edition or Limited Tundra. Thanks Joe and Lori!!
I want a new Tundra, but nothing is wrong with my 2010 CrewMax, 150K miles and still going strong!! If you get one of these you’re going to have it for a looooooooooooooong time 😎
Truck looks great! I would probably go with the limited to get a few more features, but I don’t mind the analog tachometer. I think it looks pretty good!
People who are leery about the TTV6 should know that this is the same engine on the Lexus LS500. The turbos were designed and are made in-house by Toyota to ensure quality and fit for purpose. I read somewhere that they are also run fairly cool compared to other turbos and are understressed to ensure a long service life. Also, this is a Toyota, not a Ford, they actually care about quality and reliability. IMO, the TTV6 hybrid is the powertrain to get as it will return even better fuel economy while being more powerful, and possibly even more reliable / durable compared to the normal TTV6.
Without even watching I can answer the question. Absolutely. The Tundra has always been a better truck than Ford, Chevy or Ram. There is no better 1/2 ton pickup and unlikely ever will be.
@@derekmarion7237 ya because they don’t sell at discounted rates and Toyota doesn’t mass produce them. It’s why their quality control is at a higher standard and that’s a fact.
Correction there is only one available engine for the sr and sr5. That is the v6 twin turbo. The higher level models have two options v6 tb or v6 tb hybrid
The SR5 trim, especially the interior looks better and better every time I watch one of these reviews. Also one thing I have noticed is that the SR5 trim seems too be the only trim that has that cubby in the dash on the passenger side??? Only thing that may hold me back and have to purchase the Limited is the SR5 not having ANY kind of power connection in the rear seat area?? This is weird as last gens did but hopefully this changes as they role out the non "pre production" vehicles later in the year
Funny how you mention the terminator movie. Before the Tundra was introduced in 2007, the T100 had a T3 addition for the Terminator 3 movie. It was black with gun metal colored wheels.
Great Review! I love the color, and overall I like the new design inside and out! The grill IMO is still a tad bit outrageous but will probably grow on me. Toyota(no matter the model) has always been behind in the instrument panel/gauge cluster department. The instrument panel is way behind Ford IMO and compared to that huge touch screen it looks old already. I currently have a 2015 F150 crew sport that I have been very pleased with and still get compliments onto this day and has proven to be very reliable. As an owner of several Toyota’s in the past…I’ve never been able to buy a Tundra for 2 reasons mostly…the price has been outrageous( when compared to the competitors) and the gas mileage horrible if not the worst of all of them. Guess we will see if this generation is any different
I picked up a 2024 SR5 TRD off road with a few packages. So far im extremely happy with the truck. The only thing i hate are the safety features. They are annoying

It's A1 & Ready to Roll !!
Joe, can you confirm this SR5 trim will have the availability to select that panoramic moonroof? I’ve heard from other videos that because this truck is a pre-production model, the SR5 trim will not feature this as an option to consumers come time of the release date.
That truck look amazing if ur texas u should definitely get a truck like this 👍🏻 thanks joe & l , but starting price for this will good up at least 45k -48k
Starting will not be 45. That would be nearly 10k upgrade
@@Mycameron2323 thats definitely for sure , i just put a guess since its a sr5 :)
Can't say I wouldn't like to have one but I miss the days when trucks didn't cost 90 grand and weren't about looking like a transformer. Love my 97 T100. Reliable, does the job, paid for. I hope it lasts another 10 years.
Thanks for sharing that input and thoughts Javan.
Nice. Real nice. Great video Lori & Joe!
Don’t worry about the lack of armrest and connectivity in the backseat. Just judging by the SR5 TRD package, that backseat was designed for the overlander dog owner in mind. Id say you can fit 2 full sized German Shepards & an Australian Sheepdog back there
The black A-pillar really sets the color off on the Lunar Rick truck.
The f-150 just looks nicer inside and out in my opinion! More premium looking
Toyotas are like Chevys when it comes to interior styling, they lack refinement and seem kind of lazy.
A Ford half ton was the worst truck for reliability I've ever owned and a gmc was a close second worst. Neither company will ever get another dime of mine. Toyota rules period when it comes to reliability..
@@sheldo8083 you just had a bad one then. I’ve owned nothing but Ford trucks and they’ve all been fantastic
@@tracecronk3727 I known many to have good luck with Ford's and GMs but my experience is not that. My Ford was a long time ago and I've been faithful to myself in never having another. It was totally shot in 5 years. It was a 77 Ranger with a 400ci v8.. My Gm experience is lengthy and my last Gm of which I've had , 70, 82, 85, 90, 99 2009 GM was an incredible lemon with something broken always. I had 31 issues in 6 years. My Toyota so far has been flawless and so much tougher than comparably related GMs.
I wish you luck with your Ford's ....if they serve you well that's what they are supposed to do. If I'm satisfied with any product I'll stick with them.
This is the only trim I’d buy. Mainly cause the body color around the grill and the wheel wells.
Honestly watching you these last two weeks on these tundras got me sold i hope its as exciting driving it as you make your videos.
Stay tuned mark! It will be worth the wait!
@@RaitisRides thanks, I'll be watching let me guess test drives and price and everything nice.
I’ve never been a colour guy, usually like black or dark grey colours but Toyota and other companies are coming out with some wicked colours.
Depends entirely on the price! Keep it around $45k for a fully loaded SR5 4x4 crew cab, and I think you’ll get a hell of a truck for the money. Really love that all the safety tech and LEDs are standard!
Its gonna be 40-45k watch and that's perfect
That would be killer deal, but with all the techs. I have a feeling a loaded SR5 might be in the $48-50k range. If you notice all the 2020 Toyota that has the “Standard Safety Sense” are all $1500 more than previous years where Safety Sense was only on the top of the line trim.
If that’s the case then I’m saying bye to my Tacoma 🤣
@@tigerbiterhater yeah but you never know, the current ‘21 SR5 4x4 crewmax is $43k with a few options on the side, so $45k may be a possibility. I mean even $50k would still be a good deal compared to the F150 XLT for example, which is $55k with all the desirable options
@@jakes5530 agree. $45k loaded like the one here is a deal. Pretty sure it’ll be waiting list for one and knowing dealers. There’s gonna be mark up even on SR5 trim.
I ordered a 150, they said it would arrive near the end of the year. I may go with the Tundra if the price is right. I had a 06' Tundra and loved it.
I had ordered my Ford in March I got an email letting me know it had barely started being built at the end of august and It barely arrive yesterday. It does take a while during this chip shortage.
Happy Friday Joe! TOYOTA TUNDRA LET'S GO!!!
You have got to be kidding that this is better than the F150 XLT 5.0 V8, NO WAY.
Hell yeah, am sold already.
I’m a 2021 Ford F-150 owner and I have to say this is a sweet looking truck.
Gotta say, love how it looks. Got a few years till I upgrade but one of these used is definitely gonna be a big contender. Personally idk if it would look good with Lunar Rock, but I really liked the red color with the magnetic fender flares that they had at the reveal.
Will be honest though, one big "zonk"(half zonk?) for me is the underseat storage. Love having it, and love the amount of storage it gives you, but one thing Ford did better with it imo was having it able to fold flat when you're not using it, like when you have something bulky you need in the back, but don't wanna put in the bed(idk, tv or something?)
Totally agree with you about the underseat storage. It would have been much better with a completely flat floor without the storage.
I can honestly say this is by far best tundra they ever made. Thinkimg bout purchasing me one now.
Well, I think my decision has been made! Love it in the lunar rock color. This is all the truck that 95% of truck owners need. My only two complaints are 1) no front tow hooks, c'mon Toyota and 2) I wish the tires were a little more aggressive, but I understand, it is the sport model. Now just need to unload my 3 month old 2021 Taco.
I have seen that there is a front tow hook on the higher trims, don't know why they didn't add to the SR5 trim though
Really? No one else has seen them. The active air dam is apparently blocking tow hooks on all models. The trd pro doesn't even have front tow points
@@sargeredteamleader1762 link?
Tundra is always the best 😀😀 ..totyota lovers ❤️👍
I am glad that you enjoyed this one.
Great review Joe, but missed opportunity to say the rock in the center console was a “Lunar Rock”
Lol!
I love what toyota did I think going with the twin turbo v6 is a smart move!!!
Toyota all the way. Love your reviews. Leaning toward the limited off road package. Can't wait for your drive review of these awesome looking Tundras!
I can't believe you didn't mention that the rear window goes down!
Love the addition of heated cloth seats to the SR5. That’s something the last one was missing.
A bit perplexed by the lack of any connectivity in the back seat though. Even my 2021 Tundra SR5 at least has a 12 volt back there
Yeah they seemed to have added a bunch of things to the SR5 that wasn't avail before- Pano moon roof, heated seats, power folding mirrors etc. It is weird they removed the single 12volt outlet in the back but Im wondering since this is still a "pre-Production" unit that we may see one back there when they go on sale...
Finally some MPG ratings - although probably unintentional 😂
Not very impressive either 16.7mpg
Apparently not many people caught that because I haven't seen any comments.
Saw that… I want to know what the hybrid will do.
Can’t believe your are doing this review. Been obsessed with getting info about the ‘22 Tundra this week. Awesome review and background history. I’d get this very color too!
At the 12:58 mark 16.7 MPG is shown on the screen. Interesting. I had hopes that the new Tundra would get better mileage than that ☹️
I was about to comment about that. Not what I was hoping to see as far as mpg goes.
I'm getting excited to see the driving reviews !
Mark your calendar!
Buying a TRD in 3 years once used car prices come down ( hope) with like 50-75k on it.
That sounds like a great plan!
Love all the Color Matching on the SR5. A few mods like Katzkin Leather Seats and a TRD Pro Grill would make this perfect. It has 479 lb-ft Torque, not 379. Great review as always Joe.
You didn’t show the rear window, I went with the SR5 because truly it really is the best bang for your buck and you can get a ton of options
I like that the exterior looks like a GMC Sierra and the Tacoma had a kid. 😂😂
With Down syndrome
I got an f150 ad, but I do own a 2016 5.0 honestly the Toyota looks is growing on me.
Toyota blows ford out of the water when it comes to value and reliability !
Bit of an exageration I think............. I've owned both brands and I don't come up with your summation at all. Ford blows Toyota out of the water actually......... accessibility, looks and choice
@@cwqrpportable look up the most reliable truck over the last 13 years, its tundra, look up highest resale value of f150 and tundra, tundra has in fact dominated f150 in both aspects
I do like the exterior a little more than the Ford but ive got a Lightning on order and im sticking with it
For a trim just above base it looks like a winner! I am sure we will see a lot of SR5 Tundras on the road, but I hope to drive a 1794 Edition or Limited Tundra. Thanks Joe and Lori!!
Who else saw the 16.7 MPG if you pause at 12:57 ? Not too bad since I'm getting the hybrid one . 20 MPG is out of question
As always, your reviews are on point and informative. Thanks for doing what you do!
I want a new Tundra, but nothing is wrong with my 2010 CrewMax, 150K miles and still going strong!!
If you get one of these you’re going to have it for a looooooooooooooong time 😎
Truck looks great! I would probably go with the limited to get a few more features, but I don’t mind the analog tachometer. I think it looks pretty good!
People who are leery about the TTV6 should know that this is the same engine on the Lexus LS500. The turbos were designed and are made in-house by Toyota to ensure quality and fit for purpose. I read somewhere that they are also run fairly cool compared to other turbos and are understressed to ensure a long service life. Also, this is a Toyota, not a Ford, they actually care about quality and reliability.
IMO, the TTV6 hybrid is the powertrain to get as it will return even better fuel economy while being more powerful, and possibly even more reliable / durable compared to the normal TTV6.
Honestly I think this looks better than some of the higher trims, it has a nice clean chisled look without looking like its trying too hard
"Middle of nowhere" LMAO! as cars drive by in the back ground.
At least Tundra doesn't end up at shop vs Big 3 😁
I would rather have any truck other than an F-150
I'm saving money for this one! Excellent review as always!
I have driven Fords most of my life, but their 10 speed transmission is making me look at this truck
Without even watching I can answer the question. Absolutely. The Tundra has always been a better truck than Ford, Chevy or Ram. There is no better 1/2 ton pickup and unlikely ever will be.
LOL There is a reason its not in the big 3 buddy.
@@derekmarion7237 ya because they don’t sell at discounted rates and Toyota doesn’t mass produce them. It’s why their quality control is at a higher standard and that’s a fact.
@@longboardguy Tundra quality ... buddy what are you smoking , take a break !
@@derekmarion7237 nah, seen to many fords come threw the shop. Early day ecoboosts. That’s all I need to know
Correction there is only one available engine for the sr and sr5. That is the v6 twin turbo. The higher level models have two options v6 tb or v6 tb hybrid
The SR5 trim, especially the interior looks better and better every time I watch one of these reviews. Also one thing I have noticed is that the SR5 trim seems too be the only trim that has that cubby in the dash on the passenger side??? Only thing that may hold me back and have to purchase the Limited is the SR5 not having ANY kind of power connection in the rear seat area?? This is weird as last gens did but hopefully this changes as they role out the non "pre production" vehicles later in the year
Stay tuned for the actually driving!
Funny how you mention the terminator movie. Before the Tundra was introduced in 2007, the T100 had a T3 addition for the Terminator 3 movie. It was black with gun metal colored wheels.
Lori made an appearance in lunar rock tailgate reflection .👍📹
That’s a great interior !
She is the bomb!
Had my SR5 since February. I blacked out my own emblems with a kit for 120 bucks. Anyway, I’ve had no problems and I absolutely love my SR5.
Great Review!
I love the color, and overall I like the new design inside and out!
The grill IMO is still a tad bit outrageous but will probably grow on me.
Toyota(no matter the model) has always been behind in the instrument panel/gauge cluster department.
The instrument panel is way behind Ford IMO and compared to that huge touch screen it looks old already.
I currently have a 2015 F150 crew sport that I have been very pleased with and still get compliments onto this day and has proven to be very reliable.
As an owner of several Toyota’s in the past…I’ve never been able to buy a Tundra for 2 reasons mostly…the price has been outrageous( when compared to the competitors) and the gas mileage horrible if not the worst of all of them.
Guess we will see if this generation is any different
I picked up a 2024 SR5 TRD off road with a few packages. So far im extremely happy with the truck. The only thing i hate are the safety features. They are annoying
I absolutely love these new pastel greys these new cars have 👌
Can you get the upgraded sound system with the SR5?
