Toyota unveils new 2022 Tundra pickup truck: What we know so far
The new iteration of Toyota’s Tundra pickup truck promises to be even bigger and better than its predecessors.
Toyota revealed an official photo of the 2022 Tundra TDR Pro, showcasing a total redesign.
Largely unchanged since 2007, the new model will feature an exaggerated front-end design and distinct lighting elements - such as three amber running lights that are integrated into the grille (these are legally required on any vehicle more than 20 centimetres wide).
In terms of engine and performance, the 2022 Tundra will see the old truck’s 381-hp V8 engine replaced with a twin turbo-charged V6 that produces over 400 hundred horses. Based on the images Toyota released, it's possible that the new Tundra could be available with a hybrid powertrain too.
Another element likely to change is the rear spring setup. The previous leaf-spring setup could be replaced with more refined oil springs, air springs, or perhaps an independent rear suspension.
The vehicle’s infotainment and connectivity system is also getting some fun upgrades. From the teaser image, it looks as though the new-generation Tundra will have a large, horizontally-mounted touch screen in the middle of its dashboard.
While not much information has be released on the features to be offered, we do know that the infotainment system will have Apple CarPlay and smaller touchscreens.
The TDR Pro sits on a unique set of black 18-inch wheels and all-terrain tires.
