The 2022 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro Is A Techy Turbo Hybrid With New Skills

11/08/21 • 6 min

Toyota has made a TRD Pro version of Tundra before, but the 2022 model gets a serious boost in tech and ability. For starters, it comes standard with the i-Force Max hybrid powertrain with 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. It gets 2.5-inch diameter FOX internal bypass shocks, locking rear differential, Crawl Control and Multi Terrain Select drive modes. And it moves upmarket from the SR5 to the Limited trim with heated and vented digital camo seats. Tom Voelk checks it out at the Toyota event held outside of San Antonio, Texas.
