The All-New 2022 Toyota Tundra Really Is All-New (And There’s A Hybrid)

11/07/21 • 18 min

Toyota’s Tundra has used the same architecture since 2006 and there’s only so far Kaizen, or continuous improvement, can go. The 2022 Tundra is completely new from the laser-welded fully boxed frame to two new powerplants. There’s a new 6.5 foot bed length too. Clearly it’s the best Tundra ever. How does it stack up to Chevy Silverado, Ford F-150, GMC Sierra, Ram 1500 and Nissan Titan. Tom Voelk travels to San Antonio, TX to drive it. Plus, a factory visit to see how the awesome frame is made.
