The only one we've seen in our city was at a different Toyota dealership, and it sold within hours for 15k+ MSRP. These are going to be hot for a few months at least.

I drive a Raptor now, which is (subjectively) one of the best looking trucks on the road...and thought that Tundra looked much better in real life. I'd venture to say it looks good enough to make me want to trade.

My F150 XLT sticker was $58,000

$70k plus for that is in line with prices.

My last XLT (years ago) stickered for 54k....I paid 35k.

I assume this will be 100% MSRP. That said, some of the online reports are saying 58-64k for the TRD pro. I just got an offer of 66k on my truck at Ford so hoping it will be around 60-64k by the time these are out.

Agreed. The grill is hideous. The rest doesn't look all that bad. Sort of looks smaller than the previous gen Tundra though?

It is just not growing on me.

No more V8, lower ride height (or should I say taller sheetmetal), the derpy spats on either side of the rear wheelwell and last (and worst) the entire front end treatment.
To be fair, 90+% of new vehicle design is government compliance. It seems like as every fullsize platform is redesigned, they get the gigantic front wall instead of a grille.
Only Ram still sort of looks like a truck instead of a giant plastic brick (and I am not a Ram truck person).

Seriously considering biting the bullet and finding a 19-21 TRDOR 4x4 (white, shorter of the two cabs, 6' bed) and just keeping it forever.

I could maybe see that for the first TRD Pro to hit a major city or something. But for a regular ass SR5 or even a Limited? I don't see anyone paying that.

That's another thing I've been wrestling with...

For pretty much forever, it was normal for Big 3 half tons to be sold at a 15-20% or more discount off MSRP. And now... it's not.

Will that part of "normal" ever come back? And if it does, how screwed are the people that are buying Big 3 trucks now?

Huge discounts by default were never really common with Toyota. In this sense, is a Tundra an economically "safer" purchase?

Do the current turbo engines still have the reputation of being problematic at the 100K mark?

I tend to keep vehicles for a long time and tend to avoid turbo related engines.

Current crop of Toyota TC engines entered 2015 with the 8AR-FTS, which was the first since 3S-GTE (which went out of NA market with the MR2 Turbo)

It doesn't seem particularly troublesome, and Toyota's new crop of TC engines were in dev an inordinately long time. That said it's only 5 years old - the V35A is only in prod since '18 (tho someone said a decade but I can't place it) - and the Tundra/LC version has significant changes.

We have a couple Lex techs that can chime in. They're boots on the ground

Ditto this.
I grabbed a '20 when I heard Toyota was killing off the V8.
I traded a 2018 Tacoma TRD Offroad that had the miserable 3.5 V6 in it. I fucking hated driving that thing and will never buy another V6 powered truck again.
I love the shit out of my Tundra and will be keeping this thing long term.

Nothing in that presser says the engine isn't the V35A-FTS, a twin turbo 3.4L v6 used by Lexus in two vehicles, and Toyota in a third not available in the states. The line is new to Toyota in the US market, or new to US production.

Toyota hates reinventing the wheel. Would they redesign an almost identical engine, or use what they have, that they already know works?

But whatever, it's not a big deal either way.

Rumor is dealers are now able to place orders.
Of course this really means when they build something that is close to your dream list they might let your dealer
have it as part of his "allotment".
If you got a high volume dealer whose takes care of his customer base...you should be able to get close to what you want to exactly what you want...but I would not expect much until summer next year as inventory builds against an extraordinary demand.
Do not pay more than MSRP but expect to pay MSRP at least in the near term.

Believe it or not, but the leaders in that area in recent years seem to be FCA/Stellantis (Chrysler) and Hyundai Motor Group (includes Kia).

You have to consider both the hardware and software side.

Is the hardware fast and responsive, or does it lag? Does the screen have good resolution? Are the black levels good?

On the software side, is the OS stable, or is it buggy? Are the menus in the UI logical, or do you have to go 17 clicks deep to change something that you touch regularly? Is the 3rd party support (Apple and Android) good?

It's also worth remembering that these infotainment systems are often used to control vehicle systems now.

Between the LC300 and the Tundra specifics been pretty well has hashed out - right here in this thread even

In n2oiroc vid previous Craig Herring runs down the differences. He's a Hybrids/EDT Team Manager now so tho I understand his involvement was surprised to see him.

From where I'm sitting in my truck I see about a dozen trucks with between 1-3 Tundras each.  There are hundreds of new Tundras within a half mile of me. I've seen a handful of trucks loaded out of TMMT in the last half hour.

I was at TMMT yesterday and they are producing a ton of them.  I'm also going to be at TMMT Friday morning for another load and I'll see what I can find out about the TRD PRO.

They're coming.

I think "Smoked Mesquite" is the most interesting color option:



It's not necessarily the "best," but it's the most interesting. I kinda like it, but I'm not sure if I'd actually buy it.

I love a good green, and Army Green isn't bad, but I'm afraid it would be the automotive equivalent of 5.11 pants and a Magpul t-shirt.



"Blueprint" is a great color, and it's probably the one I'd choose if I had to order without seeing it in person.

I'm not a huge Toyota fan, but if they put this same engine in a Tacoma..... And a transmission that can handle it.... I may be looking for a truck. The aftermarket tuning community has done some great work on that engine platform.

In the last 10 years I've bought 6 different Toyota products with my last being a 2018 Tundra Limited. 50k starting price is too much for something that looks like an unholy mix between a Lexus sedan and a chevy 1500. I just picked up an F250 platinum and will be playing the wait & see approach to this latest iteration of Tundras.

Toyota isn't putting a 389 hp 479 lb-ft twin turbo V6 in the Tacoma.

The next Tacoma is most likely going to be a hybrid, an I4 turbo, or both.

No 500/750 while getting 23mpg with roll up windows and vinyl seats? Not buying that overpriced piece of junk

I am on the list for a TRRD Pro 2022.  I have a 2019 TRD off Road.  I may just wait a year or so and see how the new trucks do.  If they fail, then I will keep my reliable 2019.

Agree. My wife's 2019 camry looks like something your grandma would drive from 1998.


I’m not sure what’s wrong with this interior

Yes, I am aware of what they are. It's the reason I don't own one right now.
