2022 Tundra Redesign

It can, but it is not the same. I could put a 4x8 sheet of sheetrock in that Tundra and have it lay on the tailgate. In Tacoma it has to be supported above the tailgate, or it snaps past the wheel wells. Poor design, IMHO. Tacoma's bed could have been made wide enough to accommodate a 4x8. There is room between tires and the fiberglass bed.

 

Battery pack and inverter in the hybrid Tundra are the same as in the Toyota's minivan. Is the minivan's inverter same as in Taco?

 

And thus your Tundra will probably get worse. Driving style makes a big difference. I have absolutely no problem getting those kind of numbers in my Tacoma in the summer.

 

How much trimming do you need to fit 37s on a Tundra:

 

Well on a stock suspension who knows if they can fit 37's. But this is cool, a long travel TRD kit. That's pretty good. But gonna be pricey. If they can do it on the new Tundra they can do it on the next gen Tacoma if it gets a rear 4 link.

 

There's also a $4000 lift kit coming next summer. Work involved is almost like a stock-width LT kit (includes new "lower knuckles" and new CV axles):

 

Rear 4 link and locking rear diff, long travel suspension, highest torque engine ever in a Tundra? It's gonna be the best offroad long wheelbase truck out there.

 

Why can’t they offer a V8?

 

Because they aren't feasible and the V6 makes more power anyway.

 

Okay. I’ll bite.
Why isn’t it “feasible “?

 

Wasn't anything to bait. The v6 is lighter, has more power, less production costs, better fuel mileage, less maintenance. Some won't buy this because it has no V8. That's pretty superficial.

 

Im not so sure what is so superficial about it.
And less maintenance and less production costs? How so? Turbo engines are more complicated and tend to need more maintenance than normally aspirated engines.

 

okay. Well we’ll agree to disagree

 

Does anyone know for sure if the SR5 standard 3.5L TT will use 87 Octane?

Thanks,

 

Found this 2022 Tundra spec sheet, PDF file:

Recommended Fuel 87-octane or higher. Page 1

That's the reason for the turbos. No need for higher octane with turbos.

 

We tow a 4900 pound travel trailer all over the lower 48, it's helpful for us using lower cost 87 octane fuel. Going to buy a 2022 SR5 for towing. Our 2016 SR5 made a great tow vehicle, too:



Thanks,

 

so lower octane, better fuel mileage, lower weight, more power than V8's. Seems like a clear winner engine wise.

 

YES

 

I hope it gets better towing MPG. We get 9mpg towing a 7k TT with our 2020
