Toyota Tundra 2022 Specs & Review

Transmission and the Engine |

The only full-size pickup truck available in 2022 that does not have a V-8 engine is the Toyota Tundra. Instead, the only available configurations are a twin-turbocharged V-6 engine and a 10-speed automatic gearbox. There are three various power levels that may be selected for this engine. The base model of the SR, which does not include a hybrid powertrain, has a conventional engine that generates 348 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. In any other case, 389 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque will be generated. The hybrid variant incorporates an electric motor directly into the transmission, which enables the vehicle to run entirely on electric power at low speeds. This configuration results in a combined output of 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque.

Technology | One of the Tundra’s most noticeable features is its customizable touchscreen display, which is 14 inches in size. The graphics are crisp, and the options that are shown on-screen are easy to browse. We believe that the native arrangement will be more appealing to certain smartphone users than either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto in the majority of cases. We believed that the sound quality of the ordinary system was more than adequate, despite the fact that our test vehicle was equipped with an upgraded JBL audio system. The bulk of the cutting-edge driver assistance technologies found on the Toyota Tundra are included as standard equipment, and they provide outstanding results. During the course of our examination, we did not encounter any false positives.

Storage Area | The Tundra’s dashboard is rather substantial, and it contains prominent air vents as well as a huge, uninterrupted section in the centre that connects the door panels on the inside. Every model is equipped as standard with a versatile center console that has an abundance of cubby storage as well as a huge center bin. On the instrument panel of the basic model, there are two analog gauges and a very small driver information display. On the other hand, the higher trim levels have a digital gauge cluster that is 12.3 inches in size. The Tundra is offered with a choice of two different body styles and three different cargo-bed lengths.

Safety | Warnings of potential frontal collisions as well as automated emergency braking, Adaptive cruise control and lane-departure warning systems, as well as lane-keeping assistance, are included as standard safety features.

The hybrid model achieves up to 20 miles per gallon in the city and 24 miles per gallon on the highway.
